LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — It may still be spooky season, but Disney is already getting ready to deck the halls at Magic Kingdom.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will return on select nights from Nov. 8 through Dec. 22, bringing holiday entertainment, character meet-and-greets, festive ride makeovers and plenty of sweet treats.
The separately ticketed party officially begins at 7 p.m., but ticket holders can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4 p.m.
Santa Claus will make an appearance at Storybook Circus, while Mickey and Minnie will show off their holiday looks. Guests can also meet Jack Skellington dressed as Santa alongside Sally, as well as Anna and Elsa.
The holiday lineup includes Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas Parade, complete with dancing gingerbread men, toy soldiers and Santa, along with Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks over Cinderella Castle.
Several attractions will also get into the Christmas spirit. Space Mountain, Tomorrowland Speedway, Mad Tea Party, Jungle Cruise and Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor will feature holiday-themed twists during the party.
Guests can also catch Elsa, Anna, Olaf and Kristoff during Frozen Holiday Surprise, dance with Disney characters throughout the park and grab complimentary cookies and festive drinks at select locations.
And for anyone looking to take some Christmas magic home, Disney unveiled this year’s exclusive merchandise, including holiday shirts, Mickey ears, an ornament and a Mickey’s Very Merry-themed picture frame.
