Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

Event Overview

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is Magic Kingdom's hard-ticket holiday event, running on select evenings from November into late December, with the park's regular Christmas decor supplemented by party-exclusive entertainment, complimentary treats, and falling 'snow' on Main Street, U.S.A.

Its headline elements are Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade and Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks, alongside the Cinderella Castle stage show Mickey's Most Merriest Celebration.

Highlights

• Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, featuring toy soldiers, ballroom dancers, and Santa Claus, shown twice nightly
• Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks with castle projections and holiday music
• Mickey's Most Merriest Celebration stage show on Cinderella Castle
• Complimentary holiday cookies and hot cocoa treat stations
• Artificial 'snowfall' along Main Street, U.S.A.
• Rare character meet-and-greets in holiday attire

Planning Tips

• Prices climb steadily through December — early-November dates are both the cheapest and least crowded.
• Popular dates sell out — buy as early as your ticket window opens.
• Pick one parade viewing spot early on Main Street or in Frontierland, since good viewing areas fill up well before showtime.
• Ticket holders get early park entry before the party officially starts, so arrive ahead of 7 PM to enjoy rides with shorter lines.
