For years, one of the attractions at the hard-ticket party has been the free unlimited snickerdoodle cookies and hot chocolate available to guests. Don't worry — Disney still will offer those long-time favorites at this year's parties. But Disney's adding some additional options to the free-cookies-and-drinks line-up, at long last.
You'll be able to find the original snickerdoodles and hot chocolate at Adventureland's Tortuga Tavern. But Disney's offering different treats at other locations in the Magic Kingdom this year:
The potential downside? With different treats at each location, now people have more of an incentive to go to every one of them, instead of just hitting up whichever location was closest to the other stuff they wanted to experience during the event. That likely will lead to longer lines at each location. But, hey, for free egg nog and peppermint bark cookies, we'll wait.
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party starts tonight and runs 21 selected nights though Dec. 22. Prices range from $86 to $99 for adults.
Over at Disney Springs, Disney's renovated shopping and dining area is teasing a new nighttime display for visitors.
Hmmm... what remote-controlled device could enable those green lights to hover in the sky like that? Could this be Disney's first public use of its now-approved entertainment drones?
We will find out when the new "holiday experience" debuts later this month.

So even if this does make the lines for cookies a bit longer, I'd say the added bonus of some variety makes it a positive.
Besides, who doesn't want a free snow cone?

We have decided until Disney ups there game with respect that people get to be in the park when they have not paid to be there then we will have to miss the event, why would I pay 99 dollars to see someone stand beside me at the parade who has paid nothing.
