    For Mickey’s very merry Christmas. Wanting to bring children under 3, they normally do not need a ticket to the park so they need a ticket for this special event?

    Hiya Julissa, 

    Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party question! You are in for such a treat. Between the beautiful holiday décor, the “snow” falling on Main Street, and seeing some of your favorite Disney pals dressed in their holiday best, it truly is one of the most magical times of the year at Disney World

    So, Julissa, let’s unwrap your question! If your children are 2 years old or younger, they will not need a ticket to attend Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. The same applies to regular theme park admission. Once your little one turns 3 years old, I like to say they have officially joined the Mickey Mouse Club and will need their own theme park ticket or special event ticket.

    One of my favorite perks of having a Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party ticket is that even though the party festivities officially begin at 7:00 PM, Guests with a party ticket can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 PM. That gives you a few extra hours to grab something to eat, enjoy a few attractions, or stroll down Main Street,  and take in all of those gorgeous Christmas decorations before the party gets into full jingle-bell swing.

    Julissa, I hope this helps answer your question and gets you even more excited for your very merry visit! If you have any additional questions as you plan, please come back and visit us again. 

    See you real soon, 

    Christina
