Christmas is officially here…in Disney World, at least. This weekend boasts the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party of the season. This specially-ticketed event is offered on select nights during November and December. As you dash your way through the “snow” in Magic Kingdom acquiring specialty snacks, grabbing complimentary drinks and cookies, and enjoying holiday-themed rides, be sure to also make time for the spectacular live entertainment at the party, too!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party offers some of the most anticipated live entertainment options all year. The event features holiday spirit, good cheer, and an abundance of Disney magic! With so much going on, you’ll want to know what to expect so you can prioritize. We’ve got a list of the entertainment you can expect at this year’s party. Let’s get to it!
