PHOTOS and VIDEO: See the NEW Stage Show for Disney World's Holiday After Hours Event!

We’re at the first night of Disney Very Merriest After Hours, and we are completely immersed in the holiday season at Disney World!

Santa in Magic Kingdom

While the After Hours event features some returning entertainment like Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks and Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, it also includes a BRAND-NEW castle stage show called Mickey & Minnie’s Very Merry Memories. We grabbed a spot by the stage in front of Cinderella Castle to check it out!

Details from this show were sparse before the first night of Very Merriest After Hours, but we DID hear that the show would be filled with “music, dancing, and nostalgic yuletide fun,” and that it will be a “nod to classic Magic Kingdom holiday stage shows.” The show started off with some snowflake projections on the castle!

So pretty!

Then, a few dancers came out onto the stage.

After that, Minnie and Mickey came on stage!

They’re coming! Do you see them?

They were followed by Donald, Daisy, and Goofy!

Our pals!

Next, they were joined by Pluto and Chip ‘n’ Dale!

Definitely making some merry memories

The gang was having a great time dancing to “Jingle Bells!”

And then Goofy had an outfit change and became Santa Claus!

Goofy Santa!!

And, what’s Santa without his reindeer?!

Dasher and Blitzen maybe?

They joined all the characters and dancers on stage for the finale!

Their outfits are so festive!

We can’t get over how cute Goofy looks as Santa!

We love the Goof!

Overall, this show is SO FUN!!

The end!

You can catch it at 9:25PM, 10:35PM, 11:45PM, and 12:50AM at the After Hours event. Be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more about the first night of Disney Very Merriest After Hours!
