Held on select nights at Magic Kingdom® Park, this exclusive, limited-capacity event transforms the park into a holiday wonderland. With seasonal treats, special shows, rare character sightings, and festive merchandise, it’s one of the most magical experiences of the year.

Fewer Crowds, More Magic
Because it’s a separately ticketed event, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party welcomes fewer guests than a typical day in the park. That means shorter wait times, more room to explore, and a peaceful, joyful atmosphere perfect for making family memories.

Your event ticket typically grants early access to Magic Kingdom® Park starting at 4:00 PM, even though the party itself begins later in the evening. This bonus time gives your family a head start on rides and attractions before the party-exclusive festivities kick off.

Honestly, it’s easier to ask what isn’t included. While offerings are always subject to change, here are some of the magical experiences that have been part of past events:

Holiday-Exclusive Entertainment

• A castle stage show called Frozen Holiday Surprise

• Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration, a joyful musical starring fan-favorite characters

• Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, featuring Santa and rare Disney characters

• Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show, synchronized to classic holiday tunes

• The unforgettable snowfall experience known as snoap along Main Street, U.S.A.

Complimentary Holiday Treats
Throughout the evening, partygoers have been treated to complimentary cookies and seasonal beverages at multiple locations. In addition, the park offers limited-time holiday treats like themed cupcakes and holiday-inspired savory bites that add to the festive fun.

Character Meet-and-Greets in Holiday Costumes
One of the most beloved features of the party is the opportunity to meet favorite Disney characters dressed in festive outfits. You may also encounter rare characters that don’t usually appear in the parks. The parade brings even more chances to spot familiar faces, including the Toy Soldiers and Clarabelle dressed in holiday cheer.

Exclusive Holiday Merchandise
Each year brings a new line of party-exclusive merchandise, including festive apparel, accessories, and collectibles. These limited-time items make for meaningful souvenirs or thoughtful gifts.

With so many exclusive offerings, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a highlight of the holiday season at Walt Disney World® Resort. As one of the most in-demand events of the year, tickets tend to go fast, and resort hotels often fill up just as quickly.
