Busy Holiday Season

It is true that Walt Disney World is extra magical this time of year. So much so that huge crowds of guests will visit now until the first of the New Year. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is in full swing and dates continue to sell out for this event.

Unfortunately, some Guests are finding out they cannot make park passes for Magic Kingdom because of busy holiday crowds. Although Disney makes more park passes available at times, it’s a good idea to secure them as soon as you book your vacation.

This is especially important during busier times of the year. Along with this, many guests enjoy booking exclusive dining events to secure reserved seating for entertainment.

I think it is absolutely INSANE! With times are as bad as they due to the non presidency of Biden the average person in no way can afford something this expensive for a one night a year celebration
