Hey Howdy Hey and welcome to planDisney!
I am so excited to hear you are thinking about purchasing tickets to
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom. There is no better way to get in the Holiday spirit than with Mickey and the gang and a full night's festivities. While the party itself is super fun, let's talk about all the benefits that come along with it!
You are correct that when purchasing tickets to this Holiday event, you can get into the parks starting at 4:00 PM. During that time, the park is still in normal operation. I am a huge fan of getting there early and trying to experience as many of the attractions as you can so save time for all the Holiday fun starting at 7:00 PM that evening when the party officially starts. When you tap into the parks, be sure to pick up your bracelet for the party. This allows Cast Members to easily identify party members so you can enjoy the party without issues.
While there are so many unique experiences you will have during the party, one of my favorites is
Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas Parade. This parade will showcase Mickey and all of our favorite characters dressed in their Holiday best capped off by the big man himself, Santa! If you watch on Main Street, U.S.A. there will be an extra special addition to get the Holiday spirit going in all of us!
I could keep going on all the fun that awaits you on this special evening, but it is something you will truly benefit from first-hand experience. Please let us know if you have any other questions, we are always happy to help!
To Infinity and Beyond,
Nick
