Hey there, Jacquelyn! Thank you so much for visiting us here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is such a fun event! There is all sorts of holiday entertainment, a fantastic Christmas parade, a spectacular fireworks display, and a few special surprises that I look forward to every year. The
Magic Kingdom really is transformed with the holiday splendor.
The fun festivities begin at 7 PM on party nights. In years past, guests with party tickets have been able to enter the Magic Kingdom as early at 4 PM, however, this is up to the discretion of
Walt Disney World at the time of the event. I think you are probably safe to make
dining reservation as long as they are after the 4 o'clock time frame.
If you plan to be at the Magic Kingdom that day anyway, and are going to use a regular day admission ticket, then absolutely snag that 3:30 at
Cinderella's Royal Table. It will be a nice break and a nice transition between your day time adventures and the holiday happenings.
Have a wonderful time!
Anna
