Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will occur on select evenings from November 8th to December 18th at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. I have attended this before and had a great time! It is a special event with a limited amount of tickets available. Guests will meet Disney characters that are rarely in the park, see a Christmas parade, firework show and get as many snicker doodle cookies and hot chocolate as they wish throughout the park. This event does tend to sell out so it is recommended to buy your tickets as soon as possible.

Mouse-Con will be taking place on November 15th in Concord, California. This is the first time that this event is being held and compared to the prices of the D23 expo held in August it is really affordable at $10 a person and children 8 years or younger get in free. Now it won’t be as grand as the D23 expo but for Disney fans it sounds like it will be fun day. Two Disney Legends will be in attendance: Floyd Norman, an animator, and Tommy Kirk who is best remembered for play Travis in Old Yeller. There are other special Disney guests who are scheduled to appear and for $10 it should be more than worth your time. For more information please visit: mouse-con
The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2 Red Carpet Premiere: As of now the information I have found on the event has no confirmed location but lists the date as being November 16th in Los Angeles.

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will be held on November 26th and if you are in the area on November 25th you can watch them inflate the balloons.
