It’s the mooost wonderful time of the yyeeaarr! Tonight is the opening night of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom, and we are here bringing you full coverage of all the festivities.
There is so much to experience at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and the exclusive character meet and greets are one of the things that makes the party special. We are taking you along with us to see all the special characters you can meet during the event!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a separately ticketed event that happens on select nights in Magic Kingdom from November 8th through December 20th, 2024. The party features a variety of entertainment options, themed food and drink, cookie stops, exclusive merchandise, and special character meet and greets.
Not only are we checking out all the festive food and experiencing the entertainment options, but we are also on a quest to check out the exclusive character meet and greets.
We tracked down Anna and Elsa, dressed in their holiday best! Now, you don’t see that every day!
Sleeping Beauty herself Aurora was out in Fantasyland with Prince Phillip.
Not only can you find characters at designated meet and greet spots, but you also never know when you might come across a special character roaming in their holiday best, and at several of the special dance parties scattered across the park. These include at Club Tinsel…
…and during the Disney Junior Jingle Jam!
In addition to spotting some special characters out and about, you can also head over to Storybook Circus to meet the one and only, Santa Claus. Storybook Circus is transformed into Santa’s Christmas Carnival, where you will find Santa Claus and friends from the North Pole. Santa can also be found during the parade!
