Hi Tina,
No worries! Feel free to take in every last minute of
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and rest assured that buses will be available to carry you back to your resort. The free transportation system continues to operate for at least an hour after the parks close, whether on a normal night or a special event night.
And you will find buses from the resort to all four theme parks, Downtown Disney and the water parks. Signs in front of the resort denote the pick-up stop for each destination. Buses depart for each about every 15 to 20 minutes.
Have a wonderful time at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. I especially like the parade, the Celebrate the Magic show, the special holiday Wishes fireworks show and the snow on Main Street. Oh, and the free cookies!
Please let me know if I can do anything else to help as you make your final plans. Enjoy your visit to the Walt Disney World resort!
Wilma
