About the Party
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a separate ticketed event. Guests who purchase a party ticket can enter the Magic Kingdom Party as early as 4:00 p.m. on the day of their event. The party, however, doesn’t officially start until 7:00 p.m. It lasts until midnight.
The Magic Kingdom closes to the public at 6:00 p.m. on evenings when the Christmas party is offered. Part of the appeal of attending the party is that it’s a limited-capacity event, allowing guests to experience attractions with shorter wait times. You can also enjoy special entertainment offerings exclusive to the party and participate in unique (often rare) character meet-and-greets.
Some of the highlights of the party include:
- Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade
- Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show
- Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration
- Characters and Dance Parties
- Complimentary Cookies (Select Locations)
