Two parties. Two vibes. One magical holiday season! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Disney Jollywood Nights each offer their own sparkle—so which one should you choose? I was able to attend both parties and I’m excited to give you my honest assessment. Both bring holiday magic in their own unique way—but they’re very different experiences. Here’s what stood out at each party, and how to know which one is the right fit for your holiday style. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is the “original” officially debuting in 1983. This party is held at Magic Kingdom. With admission, guests can enjoy complimentary hot chocolate and cookie stations, themed shows and parades, character meet and greets in holiday outfits and with limited attendance, ride wait times were a little shorter. The vibe of this party was magical, but felt a little crowded and chaotic at times. Can’t Miss Event: Mickey’s Once […]

"To Infinity and Beyond!" That’s not just Buzz Lightyear’s catchphrase — it should be your score strategy on one of Disneyland’s most fun rides: Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters! If you’re anything like me, you LOVE some “friendly” competition on a Disney Ride, but whether you're a casual space ranger or an elite Galactic Hero, here's how you can maximize your score and impress Emperor Zurg himself. 🎯 What Is Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters?
