You are at WDW during Xmas week when the party’s parade and fireworks are on during the day as standard. Therefore, you do not need to purchase party tickets to see these. The only benefit I can see to the party tickets is that they will provide the shortest MK ride times of your 10 day visit.
We will be there the first few days of your visit and I know how expensive those party days are and how likely they are to sell out. So we’ve decided to skip the party.
Have you booked accommodation yet? If not, I would consider booking at least one night at one of the Universal hotels that give you the free express pass and go to Universal over 2 days. You can save money on the park to park hopper if you want, but there really is a benefit to going to both parks. Both Universal parks are amazing and not to be missed.
I can’t wait to see all their Xmas offerings this year. Scroll back through RIx Flix’s You Tube videos to the Xmas ones he did last year to see the great variety in decorations. From watching various You Tube videos, the Macy’s parade looks better to me than Disney’s Xmas one. Can’t wait!
