2018 MVMCP Overview
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is an annual event
that's not to be missed.
The Magic Kingdom closes to all
but the event ticket holders for this holiday party. The magic
begins with "snow" falling on Main Street.
There's complimentary Christmas cookies and hot cocoa.
This year, the castle glistens with shimmering 'icicles.' An annual highlight is the incredible
parade. With Gingerbread Men, Elves, Snowmen and the amazing
Wooden Soldiers, you'll be filled with holiday cheer
as they accompany Mickey and friends on their nightly
march along the parade route. The grand finale is an
appearance by Santa himself.
With
Christmas Carols in the air, special holiday entertainment,
and a spectacular version of the Wishes fireworks themed
to the evening's festivities, you'll experience an unforgettable
evening. Of course, some of the most popular attractions are open for your
enjoyment. The party begins at 7:00 and ends at midnight. You can get into the Magic Kingdom at 4:00 pm with your Party ticket.
