Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Annemarie!
I hope you are having fun planning your vacation to Walt Disney World® Resort! As a mother of three who has taken her children since their infancy, I can tell you your trip is going to be full of memories with your little prince or princess. It will probably be more magical for you than your little one, but it's so good for a mommy's soul. My biggest tip when traveling with little ones is to remember you're still on their schedule, and don't be sad if they are not into the costumed characters - 10 years from now their freak-out will be a great story to tell :)
I believe the "Mickey's special event" you are referencing in the ticket section of the website is Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. If not, please let me know. Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is offered on select nights at Magic Kingdom Park and is a separately-ticketed event. Guests with a party ticket are able to enjoy this festive opportunity from 7:00pm-12:00am and includes a special parade, fireworks show, treats, and special holiday character greetings. On party nights Magic Kingdom closes to day guests with regular theme park admission at 6:00pm.

I hope this is helpful, Annemarie! Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I'm here to help you plan some Walt Disney World® Resort fun with your little one!
