Hey Howdy Hey Patricia and welcome to planDisney!
I bet you are so excited to have the opportunity to welcome back
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom this year! This party is filled with festive parades, a special Christmas nighttime firework show, our favorite Disney characters dressed in the holiday best and special holiday snacks to get you in the holiday spirit! Thank you so much for your question on some of the specific characters you may see, let's go over a few things which will get you ready for the party.
While we do know that Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party will be returning to Magic Kingdom this year, we do know there will be a special parade, nighttime firework show and meet-and-greet opportunities for some of our favorite characters, other details are still in the works. We can be fairly confident that we will be seeing Mickey, Minnie and Santa Clause himself during the party, but some of the other characters we will have to wait and see if they are able to make an appearance. The 7 dwarves are most likely to show up during Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas Parade or at a special meet-and-greet area in the parks. On the day of the party, you should get an updated guide to the characters available that night to see for photo opportunities as well as we should know by then which characters you may see in the parade. On your
My Disney Experience app look for the location tab at the bottom of the screen. Once on the location screen, at the top, you should be able to select the drop-down menu and select "Characters" which should give you the locations of meet-and-greet opportunities throughout the park.
As we continue to wait for word on many of the specifics of this special holiday party, make sure to keep up with all of the latest news over at
Disney Parks Blog. Keep an eye out for their
Foodie Guides as well which may guide you through all of the festive holiday goodies available during the party!
Best of luck as you continue to plan your holiday celebration in the Most Magical Place on Earth! If you have any further questions, please feel free to stop by and let us know, we would be happy to help!
Have a Magical Day,
Nick
