Hi Amanda and welcome to planDisney.
Visiting
Walt Disney World at anytime of year is a magical experience but, once the Christmas decorations go up, it just adds an extra layer of pixie dust, somehow and there is certainly no better way to get into the Christmas spirit than by attending
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party!
You are absolutely right, Amanda, that
Walt Disney World Resort hotel Guests (including those staying at Disney's Art of Animation Resort) are able to purchase tickets to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party starting TODAY, almost a week before they go on general sale, on 22nd July 2025.
The easiest way to book your tickets, from here in the UK, is via the "Chat With Us" option on the
My Disney Experience App. This service is available 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM Eastern Time (which is 11:00 AM - 4:00 AM the following day, UK time), 7 days a week.
Top Tip - You can find the "Chat With Us" option on the My Disney Experience App by clicking on the "≡" (hamburger) symbol in the bottom right hand corner of the home screen and scrolling down to the Help & Feedback section.
I do hope that this information has been of help and will keep my fingers crossed that you're able to secure tickets for your desired date, ASAP.
Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
Emma
