This was my first time to a MK hard-ticket event, and I must say, I was blown away....it was fantastic. The event runs from 7pm-Midnight, but we entered the park at 5pm for the event. (Park close was at 6pm)
While most of the rides/attractions were open, they are definatly not the focus of the night.
About the events:
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Parade: It is a fantastic parade, very long, it flows well from section to section, and the music is very nice. The parade features a ton of performers and characters. It is especially nice on Main St as they have the snow machines working. The parade runs at 8:15 and 10:45.
Mickey's Twas the Night Before Christmas: is on the Tomorrowland Stage. I did not get to see the whole show, but the part that I saw was fantastic. The show features live music and singing, which is extra nice. The show runs at 6:15, 7:15, 8:15, 9:30, 10:30. This show also runs during the day.
Celebrate the Season: is held on the Castle Stage, and is wonderful. It has a great Nutcraker segment which features ballet as interpreted by great dancers and the characters. The Country Bears perform the "russian" segment, which is funny. I enjoyed this show the most. It runs at 7:00, 9:40, and Midnight.
Belle's Enchated Storytelling: I missed this, but it runs at 6:40, 7:30, 8:20, 10:10, 11:10.
Wishes (done in the round) was at 9:15....it is Wishes, fantastic as always, with more launch locations.
On top of all of this, a brass band was playing in Tomorrowland, carolers were in Liberty Square, and their was a dance party thing for kids in the area in front of Ariel's Grotto. Free Hot Chocolate and Cookies are given out at various park locations, and a free picture was available, taken in Timekeeper or the old Adventureland Verandah.
Plenty of meet and greets were also open, all with a holiday twist, and all of the characters were wearing their holiday best.
Overall, the event was fantastic!
