Mickey's Christmas Party: 13 Dates Gone

Here's the money call for Magic Kingdom, and it isn't about tomorrow's rope drop. Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party just added Dec 18 to the sold-out list, WDWNT reports tonight, that's 13 of 25 nights gone. Still open: Nov 15, 19, 29 and Dec 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17. Tickets run $189-$229 plus tax for ages 10 and up, $10 off for ages 3-9, with annual passholder and DVC discounts on select nights. Party entry starts at 4 PM, three hours before the 7 PM kickoff, so ticket-holders get park time the regular crowd doesn't. If you want a December night, my advice is to book this week. And Saturday, Oct 24, the park itself runs 8 AM to 11 PM.
