The “Most Magical Place on Earth” has been partying all year long with dazzling nighttime spectacles, Mickey celebrations, merchandise, and plenty more. While every part of the year is special at Disney World locations across the globe, there’s something uniquely special about the various theme parks during the holiday season whether it’s the Christmas decorations on Main Street, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, or Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show. And one of the most fun aspects of Disney is the symbiotic relationship between the theme parks and he movies, with numerous Disney movies based on rides released over the years.
