How to buy tickets for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party from the UK and Ireland

The dates for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom have now been announced! ALL DATES NOW SOLD OUT (1 week earlier than 2024).

If you’re visiting Walt Disney World Resort in November or December, you won’t want to miss this spectacular event! Hosted by Mickey and his friends, this is the happiest Christmas Party of the season and comes complete with (almost!) fresh Floridian snow!   

The Parties will take place on select evenings from November 7^th to December 21^st (exact dates below). With limited availability, tickets are priced between $169 – $229 plus tax for adults and $159 – $219 plus tax for children between the ages of 3 and 9, becoming more expensive at weekends and as Christmas approaches.

The Party gets going from 7pm and wraps up at midnight, but you can enter Magic Kingdom anytime from 4.00pm. This is a great opportunity to enjoy any attractions that won’t be available during the Party (see the list below of participating rides) or to have dinner before the festivities begin. If you want to go into Magic Kingdom earlier, you’ll need a Park ticket.

Be warned, this is a popular event: last year, every night sold out by November 29^th.

IMPORTANT FOR UK AND IRELAND GUESTS:

Christmas Party tickets cannot be purchased on the UK website or the app; instead,

• Use an approved third-party official seller (such as FloridaTix or Attraction Tickets), who may have special offers available once tickets go on sale.
• Or you can also use a VPN to buy tickets through the US website or wait until you arrive in the US, but you do run the risk of tickets having sold out with this last option.

What happens at the Party?

No one does Christmas quite like Disney, so you are guaranteed to be in for a treat! The Theme Parks, Resort Hotels and Disney Springs are all beautifully decorated with elaborate Christmas Trees, lights, wreaths and candy canes galore.

Disney likes to keep things fresh and introduces new activities all the time; this year you can meet Anna and Elsa dressed in their Christmas outfits at Princess Fairytale Hall in Fantasyland. You can also visit Mickey and Minnie in their finest holiday attire at the Town Square Theatre on Main Street, along with The Nightmare Before Christmas’s Sally and Santa Jack. Further exciting new entertainment opportunities may be announced as we get closer to the holiday season – we’ll keep you posted!

Some returning favourites will include:

• Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas Parade; a magical yuletide parade, where you can wave to Disney friends and see dancing gingerbread men, marching toy soldiers and – the main man himself! – Santa Claus! Those on Main Street might even be lucky enough to experience snowfall!   
• Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration invites you to gather round Cinderella’s Castle as the magic of the season comes alive during a joyful stage show that fills the air with music, laughter and lots of Disney Characters.
• Minnie’s Wonderful Christmas Fireworks Show sees Minnie Mouse hosting a sparkling firework display and celebrating Christmas with medleys of popular holiday songs. Watch as stunning projections transform Cinderella’s Castle before a magnificent fireworks finale.
• Sample Cookies and Festive beverages, all included in your admission price.
• Get yourself to Cinderella’s Castle at 8.15pm as it is transformed into a frozen wonderland, and join Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff and the Snowgies for a Frozen Holiday Surprise. You can also see this show on non-party evenings.
• Storybook Circus in Fantasyland will be filled with Christmas cheer and teeming with friends from the North Pole… including Santa Claus!
• Fancy a bit of a boogie with some holiday friends? Head to Club Tinsel at Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland.
• For younger partygoers, Disney Jr. Jungle Jam at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café is the place to be. You can meet characters from popular Disney Jr shows like Fancy Nancy, Vampirina, Doc McStuffins and The Lion Guard.
• The Reindeer Wranglers in Frontierland perform classic Christmas songs with a country twist. They’re sometimes joined by the Country Bears from Country Bear Jamboree, who add an extra bit of fun!
• Throughout Magic Kingdom, Disney Characters will be making some very special (and rare) appearances in their holiday best. Once we know who is appearing and where we’ll share a list, just remember to keep your camera handy so you can capture every magical moment!
• Disney’s PhotoPass photographers can add a little more Christmas cheer to your photos using festive Party-exclusive digital effects and props, known as Magic Shots and Props.

On Party nights you can also enjoy some of your favourite rides with shorter wait times!

Please note, the entertainment options, attractions and experiences on offer are subject to change. 

Classic holiday inspired cuisine will be available throughout the Park at quick-service and select table-service locations. Advance booking is recommended for Cinderella’s Royal Table and the Be Our Guest Restaurant, which will be serving Party-exclusive menu items from 4pm. You can also book Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Dessert Party at Tomorrowland Terrace or Plaza Gardens but these are pricey and probably not worth it. Check the My Disney Experience app for more details.   

As the Holiday season draws nearer, we’ll share some tips on how to best enjoy this Party if you are lucky enough to attend! We’ll be visiting WDW this December and plan to take part in as much as we possibly can… and if you can’t make it in person, we’ll have a cookie or six for you!
