The 2025 edition of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is here, and we’re on scene to share anything and EVERYTHING about the Magic Kingdom’s Holiday extravaganza!

Anna and Elsa in their Christmas outfits!

First launched in 1983, the after-hours event has become a staple of the Holiday Season for millions of guests over the years, offering annual traditions including complimentary snacks and cocoa, the Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas Parade, Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks, and even snow (AKA snoap) on Main Street.

The 2025 edition of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party kicked off on November 7th, and we were on hand on opening night to get up close and personal with some of Disney’s characters in their Holiday best. These included the MEGA-popular Jack and Sally Nightmare Before Christmas meet & greet in Town Square…

“Hello there…”

… which had a wait of an hour, THREE HOURS BEFORE the party officially began!

This was 10 after 4… 3 hours before the party even begins!
