Our Breakdown
Here’s our suggestion of what your Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Party plan of attack should be:
- 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.– go on attractions that will not be open during the party, eat dinner (do not eat dinner during the party, as you are wasting valuable time), get in line at around 5:30 p.m. to meet the character you want to meet the most. Sometimes characters will start meeting early, ahead of the party, if you have a party ticket. For those unique characters that you must see, like Jack Skellington and Sally, this is a must! (Don’t care about the parade or fireworks? That’s another good time to get in line for the characters you want to meet.)
- 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. – go on attractions, buy Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party merchandise, meet characters with shorter lines, grab special party themed snacks, Dance Parties. If you want to take in the first parade, get your spot at least 30 minutes early. We strongly suggest waiting until the second parade, however, if possible.
9:00 p.m.- 11:00 p.m. – See Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime fireworks, grab cookies and hot cocoa (Catch Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration, if you won’t be able to stay at the park all evening.), Dance Parties
11:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m. – Catch the second Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade if you didn’t watch the first one, grab cookies and cocoa, meet characters with shorter lines, ride attractions, eat more special party themed snacks, Dance Parties - Midnight – If you didn’t catch the show earlier, catch the last show of Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration
