Our time this past May we met several great CM’s and only had issues with a few while we were at MK being “inattentive”. I could probably give more pros and probably cons but my glass of wine is starting to kick in. I don’t like change but also feel it’s necessary so even if they cancel something I do know that something will replace it and I will more than likely love it in the end. Similar to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party parade, Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade is usually only accessible to guests at the specially ticketed Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
Not only does the quick-service restaurant tout a few riverfront dining pavilions, but Expedition Everest soaring above the lagoon makes for an undeniably atmospheric backdrop. Another great parade viewing location nearby is in front of or from the top of the Train Station. While the higher vantage point is perfect for keeping your sightline clear, watching from the loading platform can get packed. Fortunately, standing in front of the Train Station from the ground will also provide you with excellent views. Holiday finest Disney Parade and Santa Claus himself, this yuletide treasure is sure to leave you feeling festive.
Disney has devised a system – the "fast track ticket" – to reduce the amount of time that customers have to spend queuing for rides. The fast track ticket essentially gives customers an approximate time to arrive for the ride so that they can spend their time elsewhere in the park. Customers are happy because they don’t spend the whole day standing in a line up, and Disney is happy because customers have more time to browse in the shops and make purchases.
