Seasons greetings, Al!
Welcome to planDisney, the most magical place on the internet! I am so glad you decided to stop by and ask us this magical question and that you are looking into booking tickets for
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. These special ticketed events at Magic Kingdom Park add so much to your visit, and there is truly no better way to ring in the season!
Now, let's talk about those Annual Passholder perks! You are correct that
Annual Passholders can purchase their special event tickets at a reduced price. However, this offer is only available for select party nights and may not be available at certain times of the holiday season. Typically, the discounted prices are available on nights that are not as popular or in demand, so the month of December usually does not offer those special prices. I know that probably was not the answer you were looking for, but you should still be able to obtain this discount on other nights! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to
reach out to a Disney Cast Member via chat, email or phone, and make sure that you are logged into your My Disney Experience account where your Annual Pass is linked!
Thankfully, the Holiday magic does not have to stop after your Christmas party! One of my favourite activities at the Walt Disney World Resort during the Holiday season is to check out the
gingerbread displays at the various Disney Resort hotels. Although they are all very impressive, my favourite has to be at the
Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, where you can actually buy gingerbread cookies from inside the display! Also, the Grand Floridian typically has a piano player who plays Christmas music on the piano, making the ambience much more cozy and magical. Similarly, I always love to try the different Holiday treats throughout the Resorts and theme parks! The
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays not only has festive treats from around the world, but you can also participate in the Holiday Cookie Stroll. Indeed, you can get cookies from select food booths and receive stamps in your festival passport. Then, once you have received all your stamps, you will receive a complimentary treat!
I hope this was helpful, Al, and that you will have the best day ever on your next Walt Disney World Resort visit. If you have any other questions in the time leading up to the Holiday season or if you want more suggestions from fellow Annual Passholders, don't hesitate to reach out. Cause when we're together, it's a holiday every night!
Have a happy, merry, holly, jolly, day!
