Season's Greetings, Lisa, and welcome to planDisney! A holiday visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth is even more magical - the special events, dazzling decorations, and seasonal snacks make this my favorite time of year to visit the Walt Disney World Resort! 2024 has lots of great
holiday magic in store, and I know you're going to experience it on your upcoming trip!
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party tickets purchased online can be connected to the
My Disney Experience account of the Guest that will be using the ticket for admission to the party. Because it is a special event ticket that is purchased separately from a Walt Disney World Resort vacation package, any changes made to your Disney Resort hotel room-only reservation or room and ticket vacation package will not affect your party ticket. In fact, since these tickets are nonrefundable, the only option usually available in your My Disney Experience account will be to reassign them to another Guest. So feel free to explore any changes you're thinking of making without worrying about whether it will affect you attending this festive event!
And speaking of the Christmas party, did you know Guests can enter Magic Kingdom Park with a party ticket starting at 4 PM to take advantage of a few extra hours of fun in the park before the party events begin? My family loves sleeping in on a party day since we know we will be staying late, and then grabbing a late lunch at a restaurant on the
Disney Monorail loop before heading into the park at 4 PM. Last year we dined at
Steakhouse 71 in Disney's Contemporary Resort, which made for a quick walk over to Magic Kingdom after we ate!
While you're at the party, be sure to enjoy the ride overlays like the Jingle Cruise and Space Mountain set to holiday lights and music! I also love seeing the characters dressed in their holiday attire and getting some special Magic Shots from the
PhotoPass photographers as we make our way around the party! No matter how you choose to spend your time, you're sure to find tidings of comfort and joy around every corner!
Lisa, I hope this helps and I am wishing you a joyous holiday season, magical vacation, and lots of special memories along the way! If you have any other vacation planning questions before your arrival, come back to
planDisney and let us know!
Stay Very Merry,
Alison
