Welcome to planDisney, Mary! It sounds like you're planning for a jolly holiday celebration at
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party later this year! I actually just purchased my ticket for this seasonal event and am counting down the days until I'll be watching the snow fall on Main Street, U.S.A. while sipping on some hot cocoa! It doesn't get more magical than that!
One of the best perks for ride enthusiasts during these special holiday parties are the lower wait times and lighter crowds that allow for Guests to experience more attractions in less time! While specific details about
Tiana's Bayou Adventure and
TRON Lightcycle / Run for the Christmas party have not yet been revealed, it was recently confirmed on the event page for
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party that both of these popular attractions will be offering a standby line during the Halloween party. I think this is probably a good indication that a standby line could also be offered for the Christmas Party, but I would recommend keeping an eye on the event page as it draws closer for updates.
Mary, did you know that with your party ticket, you can enter Magic Kingdom Park at 4 PM on the day you will be attending the event? This is a great opportunity to cross off a few of your can't-miss attractions before the holiday festivities and party extras begin! Be sure to check out some of the holiday attraction overlays during the party, too -
Space Mountain transforms into an out-of-this-world holiday adventure with lights and music sure to put you in the spirit of the season, and the Jingle Cruise is the perfect combination of merriment and mayhem! Of course, you don't want to miss
Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas Parade and
Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show!
With so much to see and do, you're sure to find lots of holiday magic during your visit! For all the latest holiday updates, make sure to follow the Disney Parks Blog as you count down to your vacation! But you can also read up on
ways to get into the holiday spirit now to help pass the time; and if you have any other planning questions, feel free to come back to

Stay Merry, Mary,
