In this episode, I'm chatting with Colleen from Hey Main Street Besties about all things Disney World Christmas, from when the decorations actually go up to the holiday experiences our kids love most. We also get into the big question: Is Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party worth it with little kids? Because between the late nights, unpredictable weather, and ticket prices, it's not automatically the right choice for every family. And if you're planning Disney World in December, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the holiday magic without buying another ticket. Here's what we cover: Our favorite holiday activities without a party ticket, including character dining, resort decorations, and Olaf's scavenger hunt at the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays How to decide whether Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party fits your family's budget, priorities, and bedtime routines Colleen's tips for watching the Disney World Christmas parade with little kids, finding holiday treats, and knowing when to call it a night One of my favorite takeaways? You don't have to do everything to have an amazing Disney World Christmas. Sometimes the best memories are the simple things, like seeing the resort Christmas trees, dressing up for a special dinner, or letting your kids search for Olaf around World Showcase. We also talk about how the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays can be a fun way to introduce kids to holiday traditions from around the world, without making the day feel like a history lesson. If you're visiting Disney World in December, remember that holiday crowds and Florida temperatures can both surprise you. A little flexibility goes a long way.
