Hi Judy,
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE special event at Walt Disney World! My family and I love it and we make a point to go every year since we are lucky enough to be Florida Resident Passholders.
One of the best things that the party offers is the fact that most of the attractions are open and the wait times are minimal because only a limited number of tickets are sold for this event. The Christmas decorations are incredible, and Cinderella Castle has the most beautiful icicle lights covering it from top to bottom. If you want to get a fabulous Christmas card picture, this is the BEST backdrop you could ask for! You'll get to meet special characters, all dressed up in their best holiday outfits, have as much hot chocolate and cookies as your stomach can handle (all included in the price of admission), and you'll get to enjoy
Mickey's Once Upon A Christmastime Parade! The prettiest parade that Disney offers (in my opinion).
You just have to go to the party! It's soooo much fun! Here are some tips; official start time for the party is usually 7:00pm - you can get in to Magic Kingdom by 4:00pm with your party ticket. That's 3 extra hours! Wear a jacket...it will be chilly at night..making it perfect holiday/hot chocolate weather. Of course...my favorite part? It "snows" on Main Street during the end of the evening! It really is a magical event!
I really hope that you consider attending the party. It is simply the best!!!! Thanks for visiting the Moms Panel:)
