I am so excited for you, Laura! Your first-ever Walt Disney World Resort vacation! And, you’re visiting at such a special time of the year!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a special ticketed event requiring a separate ticket. A regular theme park admission ticket can’t be “upgraded” to include the Christmas party. Guests can purchase Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party tickets by visiting the
Walt Disney World Resort website.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is held on select nights at
Magic Kingdom Park. The party takes place from 7:00 PM through midnight. However, party ticketholders have a nice benefit! They can enter the park, with their party ticket, as early as 4:00 PM! The event is full of festive holiday fun including seeing your favorite Disney characters dressed in their holiday finest. You’ll also find unique entertainment such as Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas Parade, Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime fireworks, Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration stage show, and the Frozen Holiday Surprise stage show! And, it also “snows” on Main Street, U.S.A. throughout the party!
Laura, tickets are still available for some of the Christmas party dates! Tickets for the Christmas party tend to sell out, especially once we get to the holiday season. So, if you’re thinking about partying with St. Nick and “St. Mick” now is a good time to buy your tickets!
