Hey there, Kerri! Welcome back to planDisney! It's a pleasure to help you with your upcoming Christmas at Disney vacation! Christmas at Disney is my absolute favorite time of year to visit.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party tickets are absolutely worth it, especially if you're hoping to experience
Magic Kingdom with lighter crowds and extra holiday magic! The crowds really are much lighter than a regular day at Magic Kingdom. Plus, with the park ticket, you can enter Magic Kingdom at 4pm to experience any attractions that may not be open during the party.
Tiana's Bayou Adventure wasn't open during the party last year, so I would definitely use that 4pm to 7pm timeframe to experience this attraction.
Whenever my family visits during the Christmas season, we always choose to purchase a Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party ticket instead of a regular Magic Kingdom ticket for that day.
During the party, the park takes on a whole new feel: shorter wait times for popular attractions, special entertainment like Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks, and exclusive character meet-and-greets you won’t find during regular park hours. Wait times for attractions are usually five minutes or less, which usually means no wait at all.
Not to mention, you’ll get complimentary cookies, cocoa, and festive treats at designated spots throughout the park. The atmosphere is full of twinkling lights, holiday music, and that extra sprinkle of Disney magic that makes it feel like you’ve stepped into a snow globe.
If you’re looking for a night filled with festive cheer, minimal lines, and unforgettable holiday entertainment, this is a perfect addition to your trip. And staying off property won't be a problem at all. You'll just purchase these special event tickets from the Disney website, and they will appear in your
My Disney Experience account, allowing you to use your
MagicBand or mobile device to tap at the entrance of Magic Kingdom!
Let me know if you’d like help planning how to make the most of the party night!
Toodles,
Korliss
