Dance Party Characters at Mickey’s Christmas Party (Club Tinsel and Disney Jr. Jingle Jam)
We love a good dance party at Walt Disney World, especially when it involves characters! If you’re attending Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in 2025, you’ll have a few opportunities to hit the dance floor at both Club Tinsel and the Disney Jr. Jingle Jam. We did just that on the evening we attended the party and were surprised to find so many cool characters, including the one and only Santa Goofy! Below, we’ll discuss who you might bump into if you’re attending Mickey’s Christmas Party this season. Characters appear intermittently at these locations between 7:00 p.m. and midnight.
Club Tinsel Dance Party
Club Tinsel is held in Tomorrowland on the Rockettower Plaza Stage. This offering allows guests to “party the night away with a DJ and some holiday friends in an oh-so-jolly setting.” We ran into Santa Goofy, Max Goof, Judy Hopps, and Nick Wilde at this location. Here are a few photos.
This is one of a few locations to see Santa Goofy this holiday season. He also has a special meet-and-greet at the Odyssey Pavilion at Epcot during regular park hours. (That is the best place to find him if you’re not attending the Christmas Party.) Goofy’s son, Max, was wearing a holiday sweater.
We also ran into Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps from Zootopia. If you’re looking for a traditional meet-and-greet, you can find the pair at the Zoogether Day Gathering Spot at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. That meet-and-greet opened in early November and will be their traditional location moving forward.
Disney Jr. Jingle Jam
Nearby at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe, we find the Disney Jr. Jingle Jam. Per Disney, “partygoers can boogie down alongside some favorite Disney Jr. Characters during this high-spirited dance party.” This is a great place to warm up if you find yourself at the Christmas Party on a chilly evening. You can stop at the nearby complimentary holiday cookie location and then head to the dining room to enjoy the dance party with your snack. It’s a win-win.
We saw Vampirina, Fancy Nancy, Doc McStuffins, and Timon on the Jingle Jam Dance Floor. Since their former meet-and-greets and character dining experience ended earlier this year, this is the only place to find them, except for Timon. Here are a few photos.
