Mickey set to make house calls

Families booking a Walt Disney Parks and Resorts vacation between now and Dec. 23 will get a personal call from Mickey Mouse announcing the good news on Christmas Day. Parents can plan their trips and have Mickey Mouse call their house and give the “magical surprise” to their kids on Dec. 25. They can also select the greeting that Mickey gives their families -- either “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays.”
