Blast me bagpipes! Heather, I am sorry your holiday plans have hit a humbug. I know you want a Christmas to remember with sugar and spice and everything nice. As Scrooge McDuck declares, "No man is poor who can do what he likes to do once in a while!"
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is quite magical, but there are so many ways to immerse yourself in the holidays at
Walt Disney World Resort. Let's make a list and check it twice.
It sounds like you are doing what you should to try to get tickets for Mickey's party, going to the site to see if anyone has canceled. It's rare, but it is the season of miracles, right? Your next best hope is to stop by
Guest Relations at any theme park gate on the day of the party or when you arrive at Walt Disney World. It's not guaranteed, but my friends were lucky to find tickets available at the
Magic Kingdom last week. Christmas miracle!
If this dream does not come true, the magic does not come to an end. Walt Disney World hauls out the holly and decks the halls everywhere!
I have a trip planned next month to head to
Disney Springs and enjoy all its festivities. In all the times I've been there, I have never done the Christmas Tree Stroll. We are also going to
Jock Lindsey's Hangar (family-friendly) Bar to try its seasonal
menu and take in the holiday decorations overload!
Disney is also where Santa Claus is comin' to town. My friend
Kristi shared her little Mouseketeers' pictures with the jolly 'ole elf last year in Disney Springs. So adorable!
"
Holidays at Disney World 2025: Christmas Lights, Festive Fun and More" on the Disney Parks Blog is a great resource to make sure you know all there is to experience in this winter wonderland. The "
Disney Eats: Holidays at Theme Parks and Disney Springs Foodie Guide 2025" will have sugar plums, peppermint, marshmallows, chocolate and more dancing in your head!
Heather, I wish I had the Fairy Godmother's wand to make your Christmas wish come true, but I have no doubt you and your little one will have a holly, jolly holiday! It's the most wonderful time of the year to be at the Most Magical Place on Earth!
If you have any other questions, please come back to
planDisney. We're here to help you
sleigh your Disney holidays!
Merry! Merry!
