Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party 2019

Tips for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

• • IT SNOWS! While a lot of guests like to cut through the Emporium to avoid the crowds on Main Street USA and start shopping, but make sure you don’t miss the snow when doing so. Typically as part of the parades and toward the end of the night, you will see it snow on Main Street USA. 
  • To save money, buy tickets ahead of time from Undercover Tourist 
  • The parties closer to Christmas are more likely sell out so if you are positive on the day you want to go buy in advance
  • Tickets are non-refundable and the party will go on in bad weather, so some people prefer to wait until closer to the party to decide which date works best for them
  • You can enter Magic Kingdom at 4pm with a party ticket, so you can save money on a park ticket that day and spend time in Disney Springs or at a resort instead of purchasing an extra day
  • If you don’t care about getting a photo with a character most of them are outside so you can simply see them in passing
  • Decide before the party which characters you and your family must-see, that way there is no time wasted during the actual party
  • Pick up a park map and time guide when you enter the park. This will tell you where you can find characters, trick-or-treating stations, PhotoPass shots, and more!
  • Disney provides you with a treat bag when you enter so you don’t have to worry about packing one
  • The event goes until midnight so don’t plan an early morning the next day because you will want to stay until the very end since you paid for this party and don’t want to miss a thing
  • Come hungry for treats! Like the Halloween party you get treats. However, unlike the candy these are typically cookies or other items that can go stale quicker so you will want to eat them during the party or the day after
  • You can get an exclusive Sorcerer’s of the Magic Kingdom Card during the party. Head to the firehouse when you enter and pick up this years card!
  • Fastpass is not available once the party starts at 7pm. You can book before it starts, but unless you are using a park ticket to get in earlier, people have reported their fastpasses have gotten removed from other days if they use them on a day they weren’t in the park with a ticket. 
  • If there are characters you absolutely must-see, especially rare ones like Jack Skellington, head there first! They are occasionally out before the party starts at 7pm so head to their designated area first. You can ask a cast member where to line up too!
  • Some characters are together, so they can be more popular but you also get two characters for the wait time of one
  • A lot of families leave around 11pm after fireworks, but before the second parade, so this makes it a great time to try to get back in line for character meets
