My Experience at the 2011 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party,,,captured in video! - Part 5 - Entering and Exiting the Party

This will be the last post in the series.  I will cover the experience of entering and exiting the party.  Depending on the night that you attend, the crowds tend to be the highest towards the beginning of the party.  I think this mostly because most of the young kids that want to attend the party will not make it to the end because they will be tired and fall a sleep.  The night I attended the party was very crowded at the beginning of the first hour.  Below is a video that I shot with my Motorola Droid Bionic smartphone of me walking down Main Street USA navigating through the crowds of people.


I stayed the entire time and made sure that I waited to be one of the last people to leave the park.  It makes a big difference to do this.  When  I walked down Main Street USA, it was totally empty.  I was able to enjoy the sights and sounds of Main Street USA without being rushed. Below is a video that I shot with my Motorola Droid Bionic smartphone of me walking down Main Street USA at the end of the party.

My Experience at the 2011 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party,,,captured in video! - Part 4 - Wishes (Christmas Edition)

This post in the series covers the fireworks show shown during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, Wishes.  This is based on the same Wishes fireworks show that is shown every night at the Magic Kingdom.  The park puts a twist on the show, adding elements of Christmas in it.  It is a great show to watch, and something you do not want to miss while you are at the party.  I watched it near the bridge that leads to Tomorrowland.  Below is the video that I shot using my Motorola Droid Bionic smartphone.

My Experience at the 2011 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party,,,captured in video! - Part 3 - Magic, Memories and You

This post in the series will cover the Magic, Memories and You show that is shown on Cinderella's Castle before the Wishes fireworks show.  Special projections are shown on the castle to transform it to a giant project screen showing special animation effects and pictures. The park makes special tweaks for the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.  Below is the video that I took with my Motorola Droid Bionic smartphone of the show.

My Experience at the 2011 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party,,,captured in video! - Part 2 - Once Upon a Christmas Time Parade

In my second post in this series, I cover the Once Upon a Christmas Time Parade that is held at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.  This parade only shows during this party.  That year, the Magic Kingdom held the parade twice during the party.  That was a smart move by the park because the first showing of the parade is the most crowded.  I took videos during the first showing, which was a challenge because I did not get the best view of the parade.  I was stationed near Cinderella's Castle.  There were parents that put their kids on their shoulders right in front of me to obstruct my view.  That was irritating.  I did not let their inconsideration ruin my time at the parade.  Here are the videos that I took of the parade with my Motorola Droid Bionic.

My Experience at the 2011 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party,,,captured in video! - Part 1 - The Dance Parties and Musical Entertainment

I'm starting this series of posts sharing my experiences through videos that I made from the 2011 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at the Magic Kingdom.  This post features the dance parties and the musical entertainment that is offered at the party.

There was a dance party held at Cosmic Ray's.  A DJ was setup to interact with the guests and to play all the popular dance hits from 2011.  Cast members brought several characters to the dance party to dance with the guests.  Yes, I also got on the dance floor and danced! In my opinion, this was the best dance party offered at the party that year.



This video featured Goofy and Pluto dancing with a cheerleader group to KeSha's Blow.


This video featured Goofy and Chip and Dale doing the Cupid Shuffle with a lot of kids and adults.

This video features Goofy and Pluto doing the shuffle to LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem.

I also attended the dance party at the Diamond Horseshoe building.  To me, this was the least fun to attend because the DJ was not that good at getting the guests into the music.  It seemed that most of the people were just standing the around and looking at the characters.



I went outside of the Diamond Horseshoe and spotted the Frontierland Band playing lighted up banjos.  This was really cool because they were all decked out with lights while playing all their music.



I headed to Tomorrowland because another musical performance was playing there.  A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas Show was featured.  This was funny and entertaining.  The dancers were really into the performance.  I took two videos of this show:
