Treats You Can Only Get at the Disney Christmas Party

Who doesn’t love Disney snacks? During the Very Merry Christmas Party, Disney outdoes itself with exclusive holiday treats.

There are complimentary cookies available during the party at stations throughout the park. Each station features a classic cookie flavor such as sugar, chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, and red velvet along with a seasonal beverage! You can enjoy your cookie with hot chocolate, apple cider, or eggnog all night at no additional cost. This is one of the only Disney events where you will find complimentary snack items available all night to guests to spread the holiday cheer!

And if you’re looking for something extra special, the party also has exclusive, party-only snacks that can be purchased. Think gingerbread churros, holiday cupcakes, and unique savory treats that are only available during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.

Party-Only Merchandise at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

If you’re a Disney merch collector, you’re in for a treat. The Very Merry Christmas Party offers limited-edition holiday-themed merchandise, perfect for anyone looking to bring home a piece of the party magic. From festive spirit jerseys and cozy winter hats to pins, ornaments, and other accessories, the exclusive items can only be purchased during the party.

These exclusive items tend to sell out quickly, so if there’s something you’ve got your eye on, make sure you grab it early! Plus, it’s a great way to commemorate your time at the party and have a little piece of the Disney Christmas Party to enjoy at home during the holidays.

Very Merry Christmas Party Character Meet & Greets

Let’s not forget the exclusive character meet-and-greets. During the party, you can meet characters you rarely get to see, like Jack Skellington dressed as Sandy Claws, Scrooge McDuck, or the Seven Dwarfs! You can also meet your favorite Disney characters wearing their holiday party finest, offering unique photo opportunities you can’t get any other time of the year. This brings an extra special dose of holiday cheer, and you may even see Goofy in his Santa suit! These rare photo opportunities are a big draw for many Disney fans, so make sure you plan accordingly if this is high on your list.

Snow on Main Street U.S.A.

One of the most magical parts of the Very Merry Christmas Party is the “snowfall” on Main Street U.S.A. Now, we all know it doesn’t snow in Florida, but Disney makes it happen with a little bit of extra pixie dust. As you walk down the street, watching the snow drift down around you while Christmas music plays in the background, you truly feel like you’ve stepped into a holiday movie.

It’s a magical, picture-perfect moment that captures the spirit of the Disney Christmas Party like nothing else. Don’t forget to grab a hot cocoa and enjoy the ambiance!

Early Entry and Extended Park Time

Although Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party officially starts later in the evening, your ticket allows you to enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 PM. This gives you extra time to enjoy the park before the party officially begins. It’s a great way to make the most of your day without needing a separate park ticket.

Plus, after the event ends, you get to enjoy Magic Kingdom with lighter crowds, giving you even more time to experience the holiday magic.

Tips for Making the Most of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

• Plan ahead: Make a list of the exclusive experiences that are most important to you. Do you want to catch the parade, fireworks, and a show? Or are you more into the special treats and meet-and-greets? With so much to do, having a game plan will help you make the most of your time.
• Dress for the weather: Even though it’s Florida, it can get chilly during the winter months, especially in the evening. Bring layers so you can stay warm while waiting for the parade or fireworks.
• Take advantage of shorter ride times: If meeting characters or grabbing snacks isn’t your thing, use the time to hit up the rides with shorter lines. Some of the biggest attractions at Magic Kingdom will have minimal wait times during the party.
