Happy holidays, Charles! Planning a visit to see Mickey and Minnie during the most wonderful time of the year is a great idea! Of course, there is not a merrier place to be than Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is held on select nights at Magic Kingdom Park after the park closes for “day” Guests. The party traditionally begins at 7:00 PM, but ticketholders can enter the park as early as 4:00 PM. This is a great perk that I always encourage Guests to take full advantage of! The party goes through midnight at the park!
While Mickey and Santa are still finalizing the details of what the 2024 holiday season will look like at the Walt Disney World Resort, we can look to the past to predict the future. In 2023, there were two release dates for tickets. The first was on June 29. Guests with existing Walt Disney World Resort hotel reservations were eligible to purchase tickets on this early date. The second date was July 6. That was the date that tickets went on sale to the public. The practice of having two sale dates – one for Guests with existing reservations and another for all others – has been in practice for the past two party seasons. Time will tell if that will be the case for this year.
Charles, I can’t imagine it will be much longer before Mickey shares his big holiday plans! I recommend you keep an eye on the
Walt Disney World Resort website and the
Disney Parks Blog. These will be two of the most reliable and up-to-date sources for news about Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!
Dreams do come true!
