Hi Mindy,
Welcome to planDisney! You've chosen the most wonderful time of the year to visit
Walt Disney World Resort - seeing the theme parks, Disney Resorts Collection hotels and
Disney Springs decked out in their holiday finest will put you in the Christmas spirit! At this time, there are still decorations going up around Walt Disney World Resort but holiday-theming can't be missed.
I attended
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party with my planDisney friends last week and we had the very best time! We had a blast riding attractions with Christmas overlay (Space Mountain was our favorite), enjoying the shows on the Castle Forecourt Stage, and watching
Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show and
Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade - there is so much to enjoy!
Party Guests can enter Magic Kingdom Park using their party ticket as of 4:00 PM. The party officially begins at 7:00 PM and Guests can enjoy the holiday magic until the clock strikes twelve. For Guests already in the park when the wristbands are available at the Front gate, they can instead head to a location inside the park and get their wristband there. This year's wristbands are ribbons featuring the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party event logo and a slider that locks the ribbon to fit the wearer's wrist. Each Party Guest will receive a complimentary Christmas ornament that is only available near the front of the park (the location is marked with a house on the event map). Make sure to make your way to the ornament location earlier in the evening because the ornaments are only available until 8:00 PM. There are some fun photo ops along the way (the bypass exits near The Plaza Restaurant) so have your camera ready!
Mindy, I hope this information helps you get ready for a magical evening at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. If you enjoy dancing, be sure to swing by
Club Tinsel at the Rockettower Plaza Stage for a festive dance party. My fellow planDisney panelists,
Lizzie and
Kay, had a fantastic time dancing with beloved Disney Characters there! If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out - we're always happy to help make your Disney experience unforgettable.
Enjoy making magical memories,
Candace
