Hi there, Nicole!
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is one of my favorite events at Magic Kingdom! I'm planning on attending a party this season as well and am already dreaming of all the festive fun like strolling through the glistening snowflakes on Main Street U.S.A. and lining up in Frontierland to see the marching toy soldiers in Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade! I'm also thinking about all the holiday treats to enjoy including the complimentary hot cocoa and cookies located throughout the park! It's the perfect time to indulge especially since Disney vacation calories don't count! I'm sure your family is as excited as mine to attend this magical and merry celebration!
When I've experienced Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party in the past, I've noticed Cast Members passing out wristbands close to party time at several in park locations so you shouldn't have to go too far to get yours. If they use the same locations as in the past, you may find one in Tomorrowland over by Stitch's Great Escape!, but be sure to check with a Cast Member once you arrive. I also remember seeing a place to pick them up in Fantasyland and near Tortuga Tavern in Adventureland. Again, please look for a Cast Member to point you in the right direction as distribution spots are always subject to change.
Nicole, I hope your family enjoys every magical minute of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party! After you arrive, you'll want to pick up an event guide that includes a park map, the parade route, holiday treat locations, specialty food options, attraction information, dining locations, entertainment, character appearances and where to find the special event merchandise! It will be your go-to guide for the entire night!
Thank you for continuing to use the Disney Parks Moms Panel! We are so glad you stopped by!
