No worries - do shop around though to check who is cheapest - anyone that sells Alamo should offer the pick up at Disney option.

Have a great trip!

Do you mean Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party? They show the parade then, or if you are still in Orlando over the Christmas period it shows for free during normal Magic Kingdom hours. I *think* from 20th December onwards, but please don't take my word for it.

From HMRC website:

From 1 December 2008, when travelling from a non-EU country (including the Canary Islands, the Channel Islands and Gibraltar) you can bring the following into the UK for your own use without paying UK tax or duty:

• 200 cigarettes; or 100 cigarillos; or 50 cigars; or 250g of tobacco
• 4 litres of still table wine
• 16 litres of beer
• 1 litre of spirits or strong liqueurs over 22 per cent volume; or 2 litres of fortified wine (such as port or sherry), sparkling wine or other alcoholic beverages of less than 22 per cent volume and
• £300 worth of all other goods including perfume and souvenirs.

If you have any more than these allowances you must declare the goods in the red channel or use the red point phone. If you do not, you are breaking the law and we may prosecute you.
From 1 January 2009, the other goods allowance will increase again from £300 to £340. However, there will be no further increases to any of the other allowances.
Additionally, from 1 December you can combine some of your alcohol or tobacco allowances, and there is a lower other goods allowance for passengers travelling by private plane or boat for pleasure purposes.

The daytime Christmas parade may start a bit earlier than that. I recall seeing it early December when I was over at that time of year. They are doing the taping for the ABC parade Christmas day special on the 5th and 6th December according to the Orlando Sentinel:
