A short post today: I was reminded by my husband that it's worth mentioning the Cast Holiday Parties, while I'm on the subject of holidays.
During the end of November thru December, Disney usually sets aside 2-4 nights as the Cast Holiday Parties. This is where the cast members are invited to come to the parks with their loved ones, as a thank you for all the hard work they do throughout the year.
Two dates are usually "mix ins," where the cast members go to the parks with the general public. This shouldn't effect travelers at all, there just may be more people than usual. However, two other dates are generally "cast only," where the park closes early to the general public (like around 5pm or so) and only cast members with special tickets get in. These are the dates you especially want to ask about and plan around. After all, you probably don't want your day at Disney cut short unexpectedly.
Another holiday event to know about is "Candlelight." This is a special event on two nights, usually in early December, where a HUGE choir takes up one end of Main Street and sings a special mass, while the Christmas story is read by a celebrity guest. It's a really neat thing to experience, but it's VERY popular since it only takes place on two nights, so it may end up being very crowded. And if it's not your cup of tea, then all the more reason to find out the dates and plan around them accordingly.
As always, if you have any further questions for me, please leave a comment!
