🎄✨ Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
There’s nothing quite like Christmas at Walt Disney World and one of the most magical holiday events of the year is Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (MVMCP)! This special, after-hours celebration transforms Magic Kingdom into a winter wonderland filled with holiday cheer, festive entertainment, and pixie dust you’ll remember forever.
📅 When Does It Happen?
For 2025, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party takes place on select nights between November 7 and December 21, 2025. This is a separately ticketed event, meaning you’ll need a special party ticket to attend. The party typically runs from 7:00 PM to midnight, though ticket holders can usually enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 PM to enjoy extra park time before the festivities begin.
🎁 What’s Included
Here’s a taste of the holiday magic you can expect:
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade - a can’t-miss parade starring Mickey, Minnie, Disney pals, and Santa Claus himself.
Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show - a dazzling fireworks display set to classic holiday songs.
Special Holiday Stage Shows - live entertainment throughout the evening, with characters dressed in their festive best.
Complimentary Treats - enjoy hot cocoa, cookies, and seasonal snacks at select locations.
Rare Character Meet & Greets - meet characters you won’t normally find in the parks, many in adorable holiday outfits.
Shorter Ride Waits - since attendance is limited, popular attractions often have lower wait times.
🎅 Tips for Families & Guests
Arrive early: Take advantage of early entry at 4:00 PM to enjoy rides before the party officially begins.
Don’t miss the parade: It’s one of Disney’s most iconic holiday offerings - try to grab a spot on Main Street U.S.A. for the best view with snowfall!
Dress for the season: Even in Florida, evenings in November and December can be cool - plus, festive outfits or holiday PJs make for great photos.
Plan photos: Magic Shots and festive PhotoPass opportunities are plentiful during the party.
🌟 Why You’ll Love It
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is more than just an event - it’s an experience that brings together everything we love about Disney and the holidays. It’s perfect for families looking to make memories, couples seeking a romantic holiday evening, or anyone who wants to celebrate the season in true Disney style.
We were lucky enough to attend the party last year and I have to say - this was one of my absolute favorite Disney trips with my kiddos. We loved the party so much! From sipping hot cocoa on Main Street while “snow” fell around us, to watching the kids’ faces light up during the parade, it was pure Disney holiday magic. The kids had a blast, and honestly, we would do it over and over again without hesitation. It’s the kind of memory that stays with you long after the decorations come down.
