Let me be one of the first to wish you a “Merry Christmas,” Liz! Visiting the Most Magical Place on Earth during the most wonderful time of the year is a great idea!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is one of my family’s favorite events at Disney World! While
Happily Ever After is not scheduled to occur on Christmas party nights, a different show called Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks will take place during the party! This is one of the fireworks shows that I always make sure to watch from in front of the castle! I love Christmas, and the Christmas party projection show is one of the best all year!
Yes, Liz, if you purchase a ticket for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, you can enter the park as early as 4:00 PM! I always recommend taking advantage of these bonus hours! It’s a great party perk! Guests without a ticket for the Christmas Party will need to leave Magic Kingdom by 6:00 PM.
Select attractions, including some of the most popular in Magic Kingdom, are available for Guests to enjoy during the Christmas Party! You can find a complete list of attractions on the
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party webpage on the Disney World website. When the page opens, scroll down and click the "Attractions" heading. Please note attractions are subject to change. While the party concludes at midnight, Guests who are in line for an attraction before midnight can remain in line until they’ve experienced the attraction even after the clock strikes twelve!
Dreams do come true!
