And for longtime Disney Christmas parade fans: Soldiers, Snowflakes and dancing deer are all still in the parade. The parade features original music as well as both classic and current holiday tunes.

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party comes with a winter-weather forecast guests can count on -- a 100 percent chance of snow flurries on Main Street, U.S.A every night. And just in case the sight causes a chill: complimentary hot cocoa and cookies are served. Many popular Magic Kingdom attractions are open to guests.

Admission to the party requires a separate ticket. Tickets are $47.95 plus tax for ages 10/up and $40.95 plus tax for ages 3-9 (but with advance purchase, guests can save $7 per ticket for select dates). Note: Many party nights are sold out in advance. To purchase tickets, guests can call (407) W-DISNEY or visit disneyworld.com.

Adding to the magic of the event will be two new nighttime entertainment spectaculars:

The colorful cavalcade moves down Main Street, U.S.A. with members of a flag corps each twirling the Jolly Roger, plus royal knights on horseback, court dancers and a regal processional of Disney princesses and princes.
• "Magic, Music and Mayhem," a fireworks display orchestrated to an original musical score, will fill the sky above Magic Kingdom.

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - September & October 2008

With 20 spooktacular party nights scheduled, Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a one-of-a-kind Halloween bash that immerses guests in the fantasy of Magic Kingdom.

The lightly frightful fun for the whole family begins at 7 p.m. (after regular park operating hours) and continues until midnight. Separate admission is required.

Each date features trick-or-treating throughout the park and the Halloween-themed fireworks spectacular "Happy HalloWishes." The event also showcases the newly expanded "Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween Parade." Guests, who are welcome to attend wearing Halloween costumes, can also experience some of the most popular Magic Kingdom attractions.

Guests looking for ghostly tricks during the party are in for a very special treat -- a newly refurbished Haunted Mansion attraction has re-opened its gates just in time for the fall season. The supernatural classic has received an "Extreme Mansion Makeover" including: new show scenes, enhanced sound and visual effects and even a few ghoulish surprises.

Attractions

The Magic Kingdom opened with six themed lands: Main Street, U.S.A.; Adventureland; Frontierland; Liberty Square, a land originally planned for Disneyland; Fantasyland; and Tomorrowland. Mickey's Birthdayland was created in 1988 to honor Mickey Mouse's 60th birthday, and eventually changed its name to Mickey's Starland in 1990. In 1996, the land changed again to Mickey's Toontown Fair.

Ride the mountain range at the Magic Kingdom: Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Splash Mountain.  Take a stream train ride around the perimeter of the park.  Take the kids on all of the Fantasyland dark rides or meet Mickey in Toontown Fair.  There's always something to do in the Magic Kingdom.
