So many perks go to waste in Disney World. I get it — I’m guilty of leaving some free money or experiences on the table!

Christmas is HERE!
Sure, as an Annual Passholder, I’ve taken advantage of the air-conditioned lounge in EPCOT during the summer. As a Disney Visa Cardmember, I get discounts at restaurants around the parks. But did you know some perks come with special event tickets? At Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, you can get a complimentary souvenir, so this is our official PSA: DON’T MISS OUT ON YOUR FREE ORNAMENT!
Take a look at this year’s ornament! Once you scan your ticket into Magic Kingdom and get your wristband, you’ll find Cast Members handing these babies out. The ornament is small; however, our reporter feels like this is a high-quality ornament! The colors are bright, and it’s metal, which means it will last year after year.

2025 Free Ornament
They’re given to you on Market Street when you enter the party. Does the ornament look familiar to you? We’ll give you a second to think…

Christmas Ornament
Yes, the Christmas tree truck design matches the popcorn bucket that is exclusively available at the party this year!
In 2024, the ornament was a gingerbread house with very festive residents who decorated the outside with candy canes and a Mickey-shaped peppermint.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party runs on certain nights from now until December 20th! Tickets are selling out quickly, but range from $169 to $229 depending on the date. In addition to this complimentary ornament and eating your weight in cookies, you’ll find dozens of specialty snacks around the park, exclusive entertainment, rare characters (including Jack Skellington and Sally!), and low wait times at popular rides.
Oh, and don’t forget SNOAP!! Soap + snow = SNOAP. And it flurries down on Main Street, U.S.A. during the party. There’s a lot to do, but this has to be our favorite every time!
We’ll keep bringing you updates from the party and the rest of Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more!
