Hello, by 27 p.m. from Magic Kingdom. We are here for the first Mickey's Very Man Christmas

0:07.1

party, and so far we are pleasantly surprised, even though it doesn't technically start till 7.

0:12.5

So let's start back from last night we landed at Orlando Airport, and as is the normal routine now,

0:19.7

stayed at the MCO Hyatt. I did not get in until

0:22.8

2 a.m. because of flight delays. So I was glad that I didn't have much of a commute from the

0:27.5

baggage claim up to the hotel room. So that was really nice. And then we slept in this morning as

0:32.3

long as we could so that we could be rested up for the party tonight. We headed over to Pup Century where we could get our groceries delivered to our room

0:40.9

because I had Kroger delivery this morning.

0:44.3

And then we had some lunch at the food court before heading to Magic Kingdom.

0:49.3

We got on the bus around 2.30 and lined up at the tap styles. I want to say we were maybe 10 people back

0:57.0

at our particular tap style and just sort of sat there waiting. They let us go into Magic Kingdom

1:03.9

a little bit early. I want to say a little bit before four. Was it around 345 that they let us

1:10.4

the Magic Kingdom? And then we hadn't planned not getting in line for Jack and Sally because it's such a time commitment and we've done it so many times, but we were so close to the front and we thought we meant as well. And I'm really glad we did because it ended up being much, much better than in the past. So first of all, they started meeting at 4 o'clock, which is nice. In the past,

1:28.7

they've started meeting a little bit later, so you would have to just stand in line and wait at least

1:32.4

to 4.30. But not only did they start waiting, I mean, a meeting, but it moved very quickly.

1:39.1

And the reason for that is they have multiple rooms, if you know what I mean. So that makes it much, much more efficient.

1:45.7

So we were done meeting Jack and Sally by 4.30.

1:48.6

And then we went through the trail that goes behind Main Street,

1:52.5

which is kind of a great entry point for both the Halloween parties and Christmas parties.

1:56.6

And there's like a lot going on, which is super fun.

1:59.2

It's a really fun way to kick off your time for the Christmas party. And it doesn't last for the whole night. It's only like, I think, between 4 and 630, 4 and 7, something like that. And so you get to kind of go back there and there's entertainment. There's a DJ. You can pose for pictures with the Ginger Bedman. There's stilt walkers. There's bubbles,

2:19.3

or snope and bubbles. And they give you an ornament and snacks. So it's like a really fun way to kind
