Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Michael!
The holiday season is my favorite time of year to visit Walt Disney World Resort. I love that the theme parks and Resort Hotels come alive with that extra layer of pixie dust that can only be found around Christmastime. Make sure to visit
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to see one of my favorite holiday decorations, the
Grand Floridian Gingerbread House. It's a 14-foot-high real gingerbread house that operates a sweet shop inside! I always buy a bunch of Gingerbread Shingles because they make perfect stocking stuffers.
One of the highlights of the Christmas season at
Magic Kingdom Park is
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, which takes place on select nights between November 8 and December 22. It's one of my favorite special events of the year because of all the exclusive holiday entertainment that can only be found at the Party. I'm so glad you mentioned the fireworks because this year there's a brand new nighttime spectacular,
Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks. While we don't know just yet exactly what time Minnie Mouse will be ready to put on her new show, last year the fireworks began at 10 p.m. so I expect it will be around the same time this year. That should give you just enough time to enjoy your dinner reservation at
Be Our Guest Restaurant before finding a place to watch the show. Showtimes are subject to change, so make sure to check the Party map when you arrive for the evening.
Have a magical day, Michael!
