Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration castle stage show is back for this year’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (MVMCP) at Magic Kingdom — Mickey, Minnie, and friends fill the Cinderella Castle stage for a festive pageant of songs and festive dance numbers, and, surprise… it’s an adorably cheery time.
You can watch the full show from this year’s opening night HERE!
About the Show
Castle projections are set as the show’s backdrop as two live-singing performers lead Mickey and friends in music and dance. The show features It Feels Like Christmas from The Muppets Christmas Carol (!!) and holiday classics like It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, and Feliz Navidad.
Amongst the usual character favorites (Goofy, Donald, Daisy, Pluto, Chip & Dale) are Woody, Jessie, Peter Pan, Alice, Panchito and José… and not to mention the icon herself, Clarabelle Cow, who arrives in a mirror-balled sleigh accompanied by silvery reindeer, with a dramatic performance of All I Want for Christmas is You.
At one point in the show, Mickey and Minnie leave the stage area for a “surprise” only to return in Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus costumes in their own red sleigh, accompanied by more reindeer.
While the 2026 show is the same as prior years, you can’t go wrong with a castle stage show filled with characters!
Show Times & Party Planning
The performance happens four times each evening of a MVMCP: 7:40 PM, 9:25 PM, 10:35 PM, and 11:55 PM, and the show is approximately 20-minutes long. To optimize your time, we recommend catching the last showing at 11:55 PM as the party ends at midnight — before you slowly meander down Main Street through the “snow”, of course.
Another option for this year’s entertainment schedule (and if you would like to catch the fireworks show and parade right before/after), is catching the 10 PM Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks, followed by Mickey’s Most Merriest Stage Show at 10:35 PM, before watching the 11 PM step off of Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas Parade. This offers up more time earlier in the evening for cookie-collecting, shopping, dining, and enjoying more of the party atmosphere around the park.
This show is always a highlight during our time at Very Merry. However, if you’ve seen this show in the past, you’re not missing anything new if you decide to spend your party time elsewhere.
