🎟️ What is Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party?

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (often abbreviated MVMCP) is a separately ticketed event held on select nights from early November through late December at Magic Kingdom Park.

🌟 Highlights of the Party

🎆 Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show

Hosted by Minnie Mouse herself, this holiday spectacular fills the sky with festive colors choreographed to beloved Christmas carols. With snow on Main Street U.S.A. and projections on Cinderella Castle, it’s a can’t-miss moment.

🎄 Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade

This iconic parade features Santa Claus, toy soldiers, gingerbread men, and a lineup of Disney characters dressed in their holiday best. Bonus: the parade is accompanied by “snowfall” on Main Street U.S.A.—a truly magical touch in sunny Florida!
