Disney Merriest Nites at Disneyland Park is a new after-hours holiday event taking place on five different nights throughout November and December 2021.

We had the chance to visit the first night of this new holiday event and we experienced ALL the entertainment, including six unique holiday parties hosted by different Disney characters throughout Disneyland AND a Christmas parade!

At Merriest Nites, guests will find six different themed holiday parties through the lands of Disneyland! Here’s what we saw.

Mickey Mouse

Located on Main Street, U.S.A., ticket holders will find a Victorian-themed party hosted by Mickey Mouse!

We didn’t spot Mickey and Minnie out in their Victorian threads last night (They were probably our caroling when we were in that area!), but we did see Donald dressed as Ebenezer Scrooge and Goofy dressed as Jacob Marley!

We didn’t know we needed to see these two in their Christmas Carol outfits.

Carolers welcomed guests near the front of the park for parts of the night, but there were a few carolers who stood out.

YES. THE MUPPETS DROVE BY TO CAROL in The Muppets Christmas Caroling Coach.

Muppets are guaranteed to put a smile on any Christmas-lover’s face.

Princess Tiana

Over in New Orleans Square, there’s a bayou-inspired celebration with Princess Tiana. Keep an eye out for Tiana and maybe snag some beignets while you’re at it.

Miguel from Coco

Miguel from Coco is hosting a fiesta in Frontierland. We spotted a cute and festive Miguel photo op up in this area.

Lilo & Stitch

In Adventureland, there’s a tropical celebration with Lilo & Stitch. And, of course, Lilo was there to host!

Check out her Christmas lei.

Elsa

Elsa from Frozen is hosting a winter party in Fantasyland. You might spot the sisters but we also spotted another partier, Pluto near Pixie Hollow and the Matterhorn!

Look at his little reindeer antlers!
