Get ready to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is the signature, separate-ticketed holiday event that transforms the Magic Kingdom into a stunning yuletide fantasy on select nights from early November through late December. It’s the quintessential Disney Christmas experience, offering exclusive entertainment, complimentary treats, and a festive atmosphere you won’t find during regular park hours.

The Heart of Holiday Entertainment
The party is famous for its must-see seasonal spectaculars, all designed to fill the air with cheer and excitement.
Spectacular Shows and Parades
- Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration: This jovial stage show takes place in front of Cinderella Castle, featuring favorite Disney characters singing and dancing to a lively mix of classic holiday tunes.
- Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks: Hosted by Minnie Mouse, this dazzling fireworks extravaganza lights up the night, choreographed to classic Christmas carols and featuring beautiful lighting and projection effects on the castle.
- Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade: A mesmerizing performance that marches down Main Street, U.S.A., twice each night. It includes dancing reindeer, gingerbread men, marching toy soldiers, and beloved Disney characters, all culminating in a special appearance by Santa Claus himself!

Treats, Overlays, and Exclusive Fun
The party ticket gives you more than just late-night park access; it unlocks unique holiday perks and a chance to experience rides with a seasonal twist.
Complimentary Goodies and Ride Overlays
- Free Treats: Guests can stop at designated treat stations across the park for complimentary cookies and hot cocoa, perfect for warming up on a chilly Florida night.
- Ride Overlays: While many attractions remain open, some even get a temporary holiday overlay exclusive to the party, like the festive lighting and music on Space Mountain – Holiday Run! and the holiday race theme on the Tomorrowland Speedway. The Jingle Cruise also sets sail during this time, providing jungle humor with a seasonal spin.
- Frozen Holiday Surprise: The spectacular Cinderella Castle transformation show, which sees Olaf and his Snowgie siblings decking the castle with festive lights, also plays during the party.

Rare Character Encounters
The party is the best time to see over 20 Disney characters dressed in their Christmas best, including rare characters who seldom appear during the day:
- Jack Skellington and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas meet guests in their festive attire (Jack dressed as Sandy Claws).
- Rare princes often appear alongside Disney Princesses in Fantasyland.
- You can meet classic pals like Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse in their sparkling holiday costumes at Town Square Theater.
The event allows visitors to enjoy Magic Kingdom with shorter wait times for popular attractions like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and TRON Lightcycle / Run, making it the perfect way to create unforgettable family memories this holiday season.
