Hello, Pamela! I hEAR you're planning a visit during The Most Magical Time of the yEAR! I attended this season's first Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party recently, And I'd be happy to answer your question and give you a few suggestions as well.
Although
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party officially starts at 7:00 PM on selected nights, guests can begin entering Magic Kingdom Park as early as 4:00 PM. To help Cast Members distinguish Party guests from regular day guests, those attending will need to get special Party wristbands (Cast Members will begin checking to see that guests are wearing their wristbands around 6:00 PM). Most people get theirs at they enter through the turnstiles, but if you happen to get there before they start handing them out, you can also pick them up at the following locations:
-Chamber of Commerce building on Main Street, U.S.A.
-near Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin
-outside of Mickey's PhilharMagic
-Guest Relations in Liberty Square (next to the Hall of Presidents)
-near Tortuga Tavern
I spoke with a representative at Guest Services today, and unfortunately, she was unable to confirm whether the wristbands are latex-free. She suggested that when you go to get your wristband, let the Cast Member know about the allergy, and they will provide you with another option.
When you enter the Park, make sure to pick up a Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party Map and Times Guide. There's so much to see and do, so you'll want to prioritize your "must-dos." One of my favorites includes seeing Elsa light up the Castle Dream Lights in a show called A Frozen Holiday Wish (shown twice at 6:15 PM and 8:15 PM).
Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade (8:30 PM and 11:00 PM) and
Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show (10:00 PM) are also not to be missed!
I hope you have a magical holiday trip, Pamela!
