Many rides and attractions are still open during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. Make sure to check out the Jingle Cruise, a variation on the classic Jungle Cruise.

One of the highlights for me as a Floridian was watching the snow fall on Main Street. The weather here rarely gets cold enough to put on a sweater, much less snow boots. You can experience this snowy magic during the parade and Mickey's Most Merriest Celebration.
