 Hey friends, tonight we are hanging out at Mickey's very Merry Christmas Party 2022. I am so excited. I'm going to show you all the holiday treats. We're going to watch the Christmas parade and fireworks, see some super rare characters, and drink lots of hot cocoa. Anyhoo, let's go do this. Alright we are all checked in. I've got my wristband and my map and the party officially starts at 7pm. What you get in is early as 4pm and tonight's party cost $160. Each night they have different prices and as it gets closer to Christmas they get a little bit more expensive. So I'm excited. Let me know what you guys think. Is it worth $160? There's a lot to take in and I'm going to try to show you guys everything. I decided to get all festive and I have a Santa hat on and one of my favorite holiday Roosevelt shirts. Let me know if you know what movie that's from. I came on opening night but it was raining so bad and usually I wear my pajamas and I did that night and I couldn't make a video because it just not stopped pouring. So tonight's going to be the first night where it's just like clear weather and I'm excited. One of the things I'm most excited for tonight other than the all we care to enjoy hot cocoa and cookies is Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas Time Parade. I love that parade so much and also I can't wait to see snow on Main Street USA. I love this party so much and it always just makes me feel happy. They have special treat locations all around the park that have hot cocoa and egg nog and cookies and it's free. It's included with your price of admission and we're going to try to go to all of those so I can let you know which one's my favorite cookie and then also some special holiday like snacks that you can purchase only sold out during the party and I want to try a couple of them as well. It's time to get our free ornament. Hi! Hello! Here you go. Thank you. Look at this. Here comes Santa Claus. Here comes Santa Claus. I love this. This is such a nice ornament and it's metal. It's actually solid. I think in the past they give out paper ones so definitely an upgrade. Some of the rides have holiday overlays to them like Space Mountain. It is so incredible because it's all lit up like red and green and they play Christmas music. It's almost like riding with the lights on and it's definitely my favorite version of Space Mountain and then also the tea cups are the same way too and we have to do those. Those are a must. Here is a quick look at some of the special snacks you can buy and they've got a lot of good ones. I'm excited to try this Christmas tree cake but some of these you can actually get before the party starts. Some of them you have to wait until six o'clock to actually order it but some you can get now and that's what I did. I ended up getting the holiday dinner dog. Look at this. Holiday dinner dog. Hot dog with cranberry mustard, savory stuffing funnel and cheese curds and look at this bad boy. It looks so good doesn't it? I mean I'm not too sure about that cheese curds but that's a beefy hot dog. That's a beefy hot dog and they sell it in the small and then the foot long too. Depending on what you want to get done during the party there's a lot of things that you can do in between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. that like you can actually line up for the party early. So like if you wanted to go meet some of the characters I know that Jack Skellington and Sally, Sandy Claus, you can get in line as early as 4.30. If you're looking to get some of the snacks you can get some of the snacks and I would take advantage of that time because once the party starts it's like go mode. You're like go go go. And for me I definitely want to try some of the snacks. I also want to see some of the characters because they're really cute but let's dive on into the holiday dinner dog. The holiday dinner dog. Let's be honest I don't have the highest expectations on this hot dog right now. I mean it looks really good but I'm not too sure how I feel about the cranberry and the stuffing funnel pieces. But I'm going for it. I'm going to try to lift it up a little bit and just take a nice bite get a little bit of everything in there. Very meaty. Wow. Alright my favorite thing about this holiday dinner dog is definitely the stuffing funnel cake pieces. They are so good. Like just think of a funnel cake made out of stuffing and that's exactly what it is. Like it tastes so good. I can just eat that. I wonder if I can get an order like a side of stuffing funnel cake pieces please. It's also incredibly messy. After you take that first bite it's all going to fall apart but I really love the stuffing on there. I wish they would actually make like a turkey dog version of that. That'd be really good actually. Can you imagine like a Casey's holiday turkey dinner dog? Like that would be I mean hey. Alright enough of the hot dog business. Now it's time to get down to the pie business. And over at Pecos Bills they have a Texas size sweet potato pie and just look at this beauty. It's a big sweet potato pie with marshmallow meringue and candied pecans and it just looks so amazing. I'm actually so excited to try. Look at the meringue on there. This is going to be so good and this is also available before the party starts. So if you want to come get this you can get it before it even starts and then get the stuff that's later. And I have to say for a Texas size sweet potato pie this was only $5 and I think like 79 cents and that is so cool and we're going to dive in. Look it's actually not even like there's not even like a little tin around the crust. I thought they were going to have something but it's like fresh baked. Look at that and I don't have a fork so I'm just going to bite into it. I'm going to bite into a pie here. Wow this is such an amazing dessert right here. I love it so much the sweet potato and then the marshmallow. What a combination. Wow and for under $6 this is such a great treat. You got to get as many nuts as you can in one bite though but I'm impressed. I'm definitely going to have to say this might be one of my favorite treats and I haven't even tried a lot tonight. It is now officially six o'clock so anyone that is not staying for the party has to leave and they're checking everyone's wristbands. The park is starting to close now and anyone that doesn't have a wristband has to leave and that happens at six o'clock. You can see all the people leaving right here and then this is all party guests over here. Lots of more open space. Well here it is another Christmas time and I must agree with my grandchildren it's just about the neatest time of the year. One of the nicest things about the holiday season is exchanging greetings with our many friends. For these messages from all over the world represent the true spirit of Christmas in many different ways. We are in Storybook Circus and here is the plan. We want to see Santa Goofy because he's always back here and because we're back in this far corner we're going to be able to come up, hit the tea cups up which have the holiday overlay. It's really cool. Then maybe scoot over to Space Mountain, do the holiday overlay there, get some hot cocoa and some cookies and then make it down for the 8.30 parade. We're going to see if it works out that way but that's what I'm aiming for. Santa Goofy always comes out over by the Barn Stormer and there's nobody in line. He's going to come out in just 20 minutes so I'm going to be the first person to meet Santa Goofy. Look at this, I'm very excited. I'm going to be here waiting, I'm Santa Goofy's biggest fan. Santa Goof! All right, yeah, oh yes, excited. Hello there sir, how are you? I'm so excited to come and see you. You're my favorite. I'm a big fan. I'm a big fan. I've been waiting here like as your number one fan, just waiting in line. Yep, oh that is the best. I am so excited. Merry Christmas Goofy. Hugs from Santa Goof, that's the best. See ya, have a great Christmas, bye. Santa Goofy is amazing, I love him so much and look at that, the party just started exactly one minute ago and we already got our first character meeting greet done. Like that's amazing, that's what I love coming in like kind of having a little plan. Now we're going to head to the tea cups and ride the holiday overlay and that's going to be so much fun. Look at this, hardly nobody in line. We timed this perfectly and look how fun it looks in there. I cannot wait, the fog, the music, the lights. All right, here we go and don't worry, I don't like to spin fast, I just kind of like going for the ride but listen to the music. This is awesome, I love it so much. Okay, we'll give it a little spin, just a little bit. This is the ride, Syrian, always, I love it. So much fun and I don't know about you but I can go for a hot cocoa now. Also right outside the tea cups you can meet Tweedledee and Tweedledum and then right over here is our first little holiday treat stop. Hot cocoa in a cookie, thank you, thank you, Merry Christmas. I will, bye. Our first hot cocoa of the night and a snickerdoodle cookie and I am so excited. I've been looking forward to this all night. Not too hot and very chocolatey, love it so much. And then the first cookie of the night is a snickerdoodle and look at this, much too good. The combination, little cookie, little hot cocoa, that's how you do it. They're so soft and they're even more softer when you wash it down with the hot cocoa so take a bite of a cookie and then some hot cocoa. That is a way. We're gonna take our hot cocoa and snickerdoodle cookie and make our way over to Space Mountain, maybe stop at another treat stop up the way. I think there's one actually on the way but I'm so excited for Space Mountain. This is gonna be so much fun. I plan on trying all the free cookies and giving you guys a ranking on which one I like most to which one I didn't like as much and tons of hot cocos and I'm so excited to bring this in the line with us as we wait for Space Mountain. I don't know how long we're gonna be waiting because it's only a 30 minute wait so look at that and also that's the outside of Space Mountain. Look at how pretty that is. Oh look, it's changing colors. It's doing a little dance. Oh that is so awesome. That's what it's gonna be like on the inside when we go to ride. Also we're using the single rider hack. Look at this. I don't know if a lot of you guys know but if you're a single rider you skip most of the line after the touch point. I love that. All right here we go. Gonna have to take off the hats. The hats for this one. I'm all. Here we go. I'm so excited. Just look at the joy on my face right there. Look at the happiness. I was so happy. I'm gonna say it right now. That ride is my favorite ride of all time. Like out of any ride I've ever ridden, Holiday Space Mountain is my favorite. Not Space Mountain, Holiday Space Mountain. It's just so thrilling and the Christmas and the light and being able to see everything. It's just so good. I just wanna stay here and just keep riding it but there's a lot to do. Maybe we'll try to come back. I wanna get maybe one more ride in. Oh the Tomorrow Late Dance Party's happening. It's snowing too. Oh, we got fireworks and Buzz Lightyear. This is great. Can't wait for the stove on Main Street. And I think it's time for another treat. Look at this. I think, oh this is warm apple cider and another cookie. Look at this. It's double-fisting it on the ciders now. Well, this one's kind of like half-full, so. Thought it was hot cider but I think it's cold cider and then we've got ourselves a buttercream frosted red sprinkle cutout cookie. But it's just a circle. It's just a cookie so I don't know what the cutout is but I'm excited. Gonna try, we're gonna try the cider first. Cheers. Very good cider. Very good. And now for the cookie. I don't know about this one. But the cider. Now you can get as many cookies as you want. She actually just handed me two cookies and I was just like, oh thank you. Sad this isn't my favorite cookie. The Cicardoodle is definitely better. Maybe we'll go back and get some Cicardoodles later but we have a lot of cookie and cocoa spots left to go. Just to give you guys a heads up, Tomorrowland is probably the most festive land. Basically, all the rides over there have holiday overlays. We didn't get to do the Tomorrowland Speedway. That has a holiday overlay with Christmas lights. The Laugh Floor actually has their own overlay. They have the stage show. We caught a little bit of that. They have two treat locations. So that's a good place to start but we're gonna make our way over to Frontierland and see what else they have to offer and try to catch the parade. Looks like everybody is starting to line up for the 830 Parade. So we might actually just head over to Main Street so we can catch the parade there. I wanna see it snowpin'. I wanna see it snowin' on Main Street. So it's definitely a full house and they also have some area that is blocked off because they're doing a special holiday taping here tonight and tomorrow. So that actually takes up more room. Usually it's not this crowded. Oh yeah, it looks like it's a little bit crowded here on Main Street. Here is the parade pump up. It's a Christmas miracle. It's snowing in Florida. That little parade pump up was awesome. I love that with the little snowballs and then snow. I mean, I didn't expect it to actually start snowing this early. Usually they do it during the parade but it was a pleasant little surprise. All of their friends have been writing to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year. That's why I'm taking the proudly presents and making the most of all the Christmas time in the rain. The music really really gets me happy and a little emotional, too. So, it's literally making its way down Main Street right now and I'm so happy the snow is happening. I just love that parade so much. It was amazing and we had such a good spot seeing the snow and all the characters are coming up to the camera and I was getting all excited and giddy. And also, it's fun to mention, if you were waiting for any characters like doing any meet and greets, if they're in the parade, they're not gonna be meeting a greeting guest because like if Santa Claus is in the parade, he can't be in two places at once. So he'll go back in and then come back out once the parade is done. So if you wanna actually go wait by those spots, you might actually see them coming back to their spot. And I think that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna go see if we can get our eyes on Santa. Oh, and there he is. Santa's coming to town. Look at that. I'm so excited Santa's here. That's awesome. Look at that. We got to see Santa Claus. And now I think it's time for some more treats. Gonna go find more holiday treat locations. Gotta get more cookies and then we have the stage show, then we have the fireworks show. There's so much and then we can watch the parade again. We can ride more rides, meet more characters. The night is pretty young. It's only 9.30 and I think 10 o'clock is the fireworks. So we have to be back out in the hub area at 10 o'clock. Don't wanna miss the fireworks. Those are just phenomenal. Look at how empty it is over here in Frontierland. There's hardly anybody over here. I think our next treat location is on the other side of Pecos Bills. So we're just gonna make our way over there and just do a big loopy. Come around Adventureland and then back out to the hub. Sounds like a pretty solid plan. Here is our next little treat location. I don't know what they got over here. I think it's eggnog. Ooh, I don't like eggnog that much. I want more hot cocoa. There we go. How are we? Got cookies and eggnog? Just take them, grab and go. Thank you. Merry Christmas. Yeah. We got our eggnog and our cookie and I hear the reindeer roundup is happening. So we're gonna make our way over there. I love the reindeer roundup. Here comes Big Al. Wow, this is such a great time. Eggnog and all. This song, we are the reindeer rangers. We wanna do a song for the youngins to warn them not to get up out of bed on a Christmas Eve as a terrible idea. If you do that, you might find out that Santa Claus goes to the lawn. This is the best thing right here. The reindeer rangers are so much fun. I love them. It's like a real party over there and they have scheduled times just out front of the Country Bear Jamboree. But we gotta get to our eggnog and cookie and I'm not the biggest fan of eggnog but I'm gonna drink it for science. Here we go. Actually, that's not bad. That's a very good eggnog. I would drink that. Very nice. Now we're gonna eat the cookie here. This is like the same thing as the last cookie. Buttercream Frosted Green Sprinkle Cutout Cookie. I mean, it's okay. It's a good cookie. Still nothing better than a Snicker Doodle. Now we gotta make our way over to the Columbian Harbor House. That's the next little treat stop there. Everything's marked with the candy cane and I think they've got the hot cocoa here. We need the goods. All right, what have we got here? I got hot chocolate and cookies. All right, I'm on hot cocoa and cookies. What kind of cookie is it? Oh, chocolate chip. Classic, I like it. Thank you. Can I have another hot cocoa? I think it's definitely on here. Double-fisting it. That's the way. You're gonna stack it like that? About a bang, about a bang. Thank you. Merry Christmas. All right, now we got the classic chocolate chip. Classic chocolate chip, you say? And I got hot chocolate, some hot cocos and I think we're gonna go see the fireworks after this. So I asked for two cups because I'm telling you, the fireworks are even better while you're holding a cup of hot cocoa. So cheers. So good. Wow. Definitely snickerdoodle still number one. Then chocolate chip, then the weird buttercream frosting ones. But this is a good one. Oh, I love the hot cocoa though. Now it's time for fireworks and I'm so excited. They give me chills every single time I watch them and now I hurried over to Storybook Circus because I really wanna meet Scrooge McDuck. This meet and greet over here is usually one of the longest lines and I figured after the fireworks they're probably gonna be a lower wait time only because you get to meet Donald and Scrooge and Minnie and Daisy. So you get to meet four characters in one line. So I think we're gonna go in for it. It looks a lot better than what I saw every time I was creeping over looking at it and plus we get to meet Scrooge McDuck. That's the best thing ever. I think we planned accordingly because there's almost nobody in line. Look at this. I've seen this line all the way out past Dumbo. After the fireworks I think we only waited probably about 20 minutes and we're about to see four characters. So that's not too bad because some of the lines are like 60 minutes just for one character and not to mention it's Scrooge McDuck. And look at this. We've got Donald and Scrooge. Very happy to see both of you today. Thank you so much especially you Scrooge and put me in the festive spirit. I like it, yeah. But you look great Donald. You look fantastic. Oh, kind of. Not so much. I mean, yeah, I do like your hat though. The hat is definitely a winner. And the earmuffs. Did Ducks have ears? I don't even know. Honestly, I gotta look. I mean, obviously I think they do have ears. But like now I'm trying to think. Yeah, well, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and thank you. I guess I'll see you later. Thanks. Yeah, have a great one. Bye. I love meeting Scrooge. That was really awesome. I didn't know how to act though. I mean, if you guys don't know Scrooge is Donald's uncle but he is kind of a Scrooge. So it's kind of like Merry Christmas, you know what I mean? And now we can actually go meet Minnie and Daisy like right afterwards. So that whole time, the 20 minutes wait is for four characters, it's kind of worth it. Hi friends, hi Minnie, hi Daisy, Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays. You guys look fantastic as always. I like the outfits you got matching shoes on. Very cool. Did you plan that? Yeah, I would say so. It's the holidays, right? Very cool. And I like your bows. They're very nice. And it's just a great holiday season. Yeah, thank you. Oh, you guys are so sweet. Well, I hope you guys enjoy. Have fun. Bye. Meeting Minnie and Daisy, actually that whole entire experience was really fun. And I feel like we're getting a lot accomplished tonight. I think we have one more treat spot and that's over at Pinocchio's Village House. So we're gonna head over there next and then, I don't know, kind of figure out what we should do then. I mean, the night is creeping up on us. I don't know if this is a different cookie but I'm hoping for some hot cocoa at this stop. We'll see once we get in there. Oh, look at how pretty it is over here. I just like listening to the Christmas music. I'm really getting so happy. Ooh, what kind of cookie we got here? Gingerbread. Gingerbread, oh my Lord. And a hot cocoa? Thank you. All right, here we go. Last cookie, a buttercream frosted gingerbread cookie. Why couldn't they just keep the buttercream away? I'm just not the biggest fan. But this is gonna be good because I do like gingerbread and mixing it with hot cocoa, I feel like that's a perfect combination. So, cheers. I really like that gingerbread. Mmm, I have to say, it goes snickerdoodle number one, gingerbread number two, chocolate chip number three, and then the other buttercream sugar cookies last. But I did like this gingerbread a lot. Very good. I made my way back down to the front of the park and the 11 o'clock parade should be starting anytime soon. And I figured why not see what Jack and Sally's like. Like, you know, we lucked out with seeing all four of those characters right after the fireworks. Maybe we'd be better on a wait time during a parade. So we're gonna peek in there real quick and just see what it's like. Maybe we'll get to see them, maybe we won't. Well, it says 45 minutes, so we'll see what it's like. I'm not too sure how long the wait is. It says 45 minutes, but I don't think it is. And Mickey has no wait. You can just walk in and see Mickey right now, but I think we're gonna see Jack and Sally. Look at that. Nobody in line to meet Mickey Mouse and then this is the line for Jack and Sally. And may I say this has been up to 120 minute wait, I think. But there's like 10 people in front of me, I think. This was such a great idea. We really lucked out. This is my first time actually ever getting to meet Jack and Sally. I usually skip it because it's such a long wait, but this worked out perfectly and I'm very excited. I get to meet him in his sandy claws like I'll fit. Wow, I have to say the production value in this meet and greet is like far better than anything I've ever seen. Like any other meet and greet, look at this. I'm like ready to go into another world. They don't even have tape on the floor as they have the little snake from the movie. And then they've got all the characters up here. Little zero and oogie boogie. I love it and look at all the pumpkins too. This is really amazing. I really love it so much in here. Gracie actually dressed up at zero this year for Halloween. I don't know if you guys know that or not. How can we hold things out here now? Well, well, well, what have we here? Thank you. How wonderful, I see skulls. That'd be an electric. I see people running in terror. There's terror, there's definitely terror. I'm looking fast. Indeed. Indeed. Their wings could be a bit more tattered, but I'm sure Dr. Bicklestyne would be able to help us. So sweet, so sweet. I'm sure this one here is zero's main thing, but this one right here is my life. Would you like to know why? Even why? I've never seen it before in my life. Or in my death for that matter. I'm not quite sure what it is, but I'm hoping it's a sky. Could it be a kind of light trigger? Could this finder sign this night at a school? I guess. So many possibilities. We do have an entire casket board with a sense of your way. Oh yeah, I mean I would love so. Especially around the holidays. We have to make sure everyone gets equal about their findings here. We have to figure out what it is though, what's this? I mean. That's why I'm trying to find out what that's where. It's just not popping out. Yep. Let's find our eggsack at all. Well, this has been a really wonderful. Well, we could only hope then it would make a marvelous ingredient for some of your students. Ooh. Do you like to enjoy the treats around Halloween? I do. Yes. And I love all your stews too. It sounds like you have quite the power. Yeah. It's a job to die for. Frog's breath. Is that what it is? It is. A bit of a difference for my taste. To each their own. I would have waited an hour and a half for that. I was smiling ear to ear. That was literally the best mean grade I've ever been to. What a night tonight. I'm having the best time ever. I was planning on watching the last stage show, which I think was at like 11.55. But I was a little bit too long inside Jack and Sally. I think it already started. So we're gonna have to skip out on that one because it's time to start making our way home. But like I said, it was so worth it actually. Me and Jack and Sally. I've never like smiled so much before. And I guess with that, we are calling it a night here tonight. It was a wonderful night. Honestly, compared to my first night's experience and basically I broke my glasses, my camera, my umbrella in one night. This has been just a dream come true. Honestly, I feel like we got so much accomplished. We got to meet one, five, six, seven. We got to meet seven characters. We tried all the cookies, all the sweet stops, three different ones. We got to do two ride overlays. We got to see three shows, the full parade, the fireworks. We did a lot and I feel good about that. I really hope I'm gonna be able to get tickets to bring my mom and sister to this. They sold out already for November. There's only like three dates left, but they're coming down soon and I definitely wanna bring them. So if they open up some more, we're definitely coming. And I hope you guys enjoyed the video. Let me know what you guys think. I would pay $160 for this. I mean, I think it's just such a phenomenal party. And yeah, let me know in the comments what do you guys think? Is it worth $160? I feel like it is. And I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye.
