I will just hit the highs and lows, my family has been to this event several times over the course of two decades, just rarely enough to forget why we prefer the MNSSHP, and try it again. First off you need to know this: If you are going to be at Disney within a couple of weeks of Christmas just about everything they do for the party will be done during any old regular day. Highs: It is festive, "Christmas-y", and all that jazz. Lines for attractions are shorter, the weather is more often than not pretty perfect. They do throw out some unusual characters, although they have skimped on this the last few years, and the parades and fireworks are great. Snow on Main Street is cool. Lows: Expensive ticket for very little "extras". Dance parties are fun but it's a way to do something "extra" for very little cost to Disney. They used to do a few unique shows, not so much anymore. There is just very little wow factor or difference in a typical day during the Holidays at Disney to make this worth paying for.
LOVE to see that Disney will continue to have the Frozen Fireworks. We feel that they are the visual display Disney has produced in a long time. LONG LIVE THE FROZEN FIREWORKS .
