The holiday season is an exciting time to go to the Disney theme parks in Florida. These parks are all decked out in holiday decorations and there are all sorts of special things going on. If you don’t mind dealing with a lot of crowds and are planning a trip to one of the parks soon, here’s what you can expect.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party At The Magic Kingdom

The party includes a grand procession that features large gingerbread men, Santa and floats with a holiday theme. There is “snow” and guests will also get to enjoy a treat of milk and cookies.
