    If we have tickets to the Merry Christmas party do we need a ticket for the Magic kingdom park too. With only a Merry Christmas Party ticket what time can we get in to the Magic Kingdom. Thanks for your help to plan our next vacation.

    Hey there, Mary Sandra! Welcome back to planDisney! 

    For guests attending Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party this year, your party ticket allows you to enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 PM, even though the official party doesn’t start until later in the evening. That gives you a few extra hours to enjoy some of the park’s classic attractions, grab a bite to eat, or meet characters who may not be part of the party lineup.

    Keep in mind, you won’t be able to enter the park before 4:00 PM with just your party ticket. If you’re hoping to spend the whole day at Magic Kingdom, morning to night, you’ll need to purchase a separate, regular theme park ticket in addition to your party ticket. It's all about how much park time you want before the holiday festivities begin!

    If you're planning to make an Advance Dining Reservation during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, your options will look a little different than a typical park day. A great strategy is to take advantage of the 4:00PM early entry that comes with your party ticket. You can plan to enjoy a sit-down meal right after entering the park, so once the party officially kicks off at 7:00PM, you’ll be free to dive into all the festive fun without having to pause for dinner. This way, you won’t miss a moment of the special entertainment, character greetings, or holiday treats.

    Mary Sandra, have a wonderful holiday experience at Magic Kingdom. Please stop by and see us again if you have more planning questions.

    Toodles,
    Korliss
