What time is the Parade doing good the Mickey Merry Christmas Party
Will the MVMCP tickets be refundable or exchangeable for another available night this year?
Can Disney Springs get a diverse Christmas playlist, please. Putting the two Pentatonix Christmas albums on continuous replay is a drudgery. That fact that any album is played in its entirety without curating which songs are excellent and which ones are a ‘skip’ is a dereliction of The Christmas Spirit!!
When will Christmas decorations start going up this year. In years past it was common to start seeing decorations arrive 1 November. Will this be the case this year too?
