11/10: Disney now selling tickets for tonight's previously sold out MVMCP

When do MVMCP Tickets go on sale?
Tickets for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party are limited and may be purchased online beginning July 7, 2022. Guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels can begin purchasing tickets as early as June 30, 2022.

Tickets were available to purchase at midnight.

Please note that MVMCP is a "hard-ticket" event. A "hard-ticket" event means you must buy a separate ticket for admission to the party, you cannot use a day of your regular Magic Your Way ticket to attend MVMCP.​

How much do tickets cost?
Ticket prices vary depending on the date of the party.

Annual Passholder and Disney Vacation Club discounts​

On select nights, guests that are Annual Passholders or DVC owners can save $10 dollars on their tickets.​

Other Christmas Happenings!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom will come alive with the return of a Merry Menagerie of winter animals realized in the form of life-size, artisan-sculpted puppets.

Just in time for the holidays, “For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration” at Disney’s Hollywood Studios adds a festive finale, featuring everyone’s favorite snowman, Olaf, and celebratory songs of the season.

At Disney Springs, guests visiting Town Center will experience a magical snowfall, bringing the spirit of the North Pole to Central Florida.

EPCOT will celebrate the return of “Candlelight Processional” during EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays beginning Nov. 25, a beloved long-standing tradition of heartwarming holiday performances at America Gardens Theatre.

This season, the Guardians will trade in their classic hits playlist for a mash-up of seasonal jams at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT. Guests will blast off to the tune of an awesome holiday single, bringing joy to Xandar and Terra, too.

Festival of the Holidays will officially begin in Epcot on November 25!

There is no special MVMCP merchandise for 2022.​

Where can I buy the tickets? When should I buy tickets?
Tickets can be ordered by calling 407-W-DISNEY or purchase online, https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/tickets/events/. Once you purchase tickets, they will be linked to yourMy Disney Experience account.

Definitely purchase in advance of the party, especially if you plan to attend one of the last parties, or if there is a specific day you prefer to go.

What time does MVMCP start? What time can I enter the park?
MVMCP officially starts at 7pm. Guests may enter Magic Kingdom using their party tickets starting at 4pm. This practice is not officially advertised by Disney, but it has been exercised for many years and Cast Members will readily confirm this information. None of the party-specific M&Gs or treats will begin until 7pm, with a few M&G exceptions.

Do I need a wristband? What if I want to stay without one?
Yes, a wristband is included in the cost of admission. All ticket holders for this event will be required to wear a wristband. You may pick-up your wristband and map of the party at designated locations in the MK.
Once the party begins at 7pm, Cast Members begin looking for those who do not have wristbands to exit the park.

MVMCP Ticket Holders have purchased tickets with "their money" for the party; if you do not have a ticket/wristband make your way to exit the gates by 7pm.
As discussed on another thread, there are different color wristbands, so NO Double Dipping to attend another party. Oh, my! I'm already in the park. Do I have to exit and re-enter for MVMCP? No, there are checkpoints within the park to check-in and receive wristbands for MVMCP!

Santa will start meeting daily at Town Square starting Nov 28th through Dec 24th from 10am to 5pm in addition to MVMCP.




How long are the Character Meet & Greet lines?
It depends. There are a few of the popular characters that will have lines that begin long before the party starts. If you want to see the 7 Dwarfs you will want to line up around 5:00pm. The other M&G wait times will range from 30-45 minutes.

Are the attractions open during MVMCP?
Yes, and the lines for most attractions (except Seven Dwarfs Mine Train) will have much shorter wait times than a regular park day.

Should I attend?
Is MVMCP worth it? IMO it is most definitely worth the price at least once. I thoroughly enjoyed MVMCP, and we plan to attend 2 parties this year (fingers crossed for dates). It’s definitely worth it if your budget allows.

There’s plenty of special entertainment, special decorations and lighting, and lots of unique character meet and greets.

If you decide to attend MVMCP, make sure to purchase your tickets in advance, and use any available discounts (i.e. DVC, AP, etc,). Tickets are more expensive on the day of the party, and several nights each year sell out completely.

Top Five Things You Must Do at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party​

Party Crowds
MVMCP is a special ticket event with a limited amount of tickets sold. It has been discussed that more tickets are being sold as of late. However, due to Party Entertainment, crowds tend to be more concentrated around the events, especially the parade and fireworks.

2019 & Prior: November party dates will almost always be less busy than December dates, and Tuesdays are usually less crowded than parties offered on other days of the week. Day of the week tends to matter as well, with Monday through Thursday evenings being less busy than the weekend events.

Can I purchase Memory Maker for MVMCP ONLY?
Yes, Disney PhotoPass offers Memory Maker (MM) for One Day.

PhotoPass photographers will take Magic Shots during the party where you will pose and when you see the photos afterward, you'll see something magically inserted into the photo.

Magic Shots
Disney PhotoPass Photographers will be available to capture Special Holiday Themed Magic Shots at the Main Entrance, Town Square, Main Street, U.S.A., the Castle Hub and in front of The Haunted Mansion.

There is also snow on Main Street after the fireworks. It can snow intermittently on Main Street, but there is not snow during A Frozen Holiday Wish or the Fireworks. There is also snow in Tomorrowland immediately following A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas Show.

What are the times for Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade?
Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade runs at 8:30pm and 11:00pm.

It has been discussed that the second parade is less crowded than the first. There are advantages and disadvantages to both depending on your party size/age and party plans.

FYI: The parade route begins in Frontierland, follows the waterway until it reaches Liberty Square, crosses the Liberty Square bridge, circles Central Plaza in front of Cinderella's Castle, then heads down Main Street, U.S.A., where it ends next to Harmony Barbershop.

You may see the Christmastime Parade at the Magic Kingdom after the final party of the year. At this time it is the day time parade.


What time is Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks?
Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks shows at 10:00pm.

Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks is Exclusive to MVMCP, but will run from December 23-29 at 10pm.

The Walt Disney World Transportation, including the boat launches, bus and monorail stations, all continue to run during and after Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.

Disney Springs: One-way bus service from the 4 Disney theme parks operates daily from 4:00 PM until 11:00 PM or 2 hours after theme parks close, whichever is earlier.

MVMCP Dining FAQ
​

Can I make ADRs in the Magic Kingdom WITHOUT a party ticket?
Yes, you can make your reservations up until 6:00pm. Please note you will be asked to leave the property as soon as your dining experience is complete. If you have not purchased a MVMCP ticket, you can purchase a same day ticket IF the party has not sold out.

Should I eat in a Disney Restaurant while the party is going on? Will I miss something?
This is subjective, and you will see conflicting opinions posted on various threads. Remember - you can enter the park at 4pm if you have purchased a MVMCP ticket. Most agree that you should eat either before, or during the 4-7pm time periods so you DO NOT waste time/miss the Christmas Festivities.

2022 Magic Shots & Photo Ops
Disney PhotoPass Experiences

Capturing Memories During Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

Disney PhotoPass will capture your photos during the party so you can focus on the fun and remember it all long after the sleigh bells stop ringing. With six onboard attraction photo capture opportunities, numerous Character Experiences, holly-jolly props (my favorite is the Tinker Bell lantern available near Enchanted Tales with Belle), Magic Shots, Animated Magic Shots, and scenic photo spots adorned in holiday décor, you won’t want to miss a single memory!

Be sure to ask each photographer you visit during the party which Magic Shots are available at that location.

Celebrate the holiday season at Winter Summerland - Disney’s Christmas Themed Mini Golf
Winter Summerland is one of the two miniature golf course options available at Walt Disney World. The other mini-golf course available at Disney World is Fantasia Gardens.

Winter Summerland is located next to Blizzard Beach water park and contains two 18 hole courses. The theme of the land provides the backstory of how Santa Claus discovered the area on Christmas Eve as the perfect vacation spot for himself, Mrs. Claus, and the elves. The snow and ice from Blizzard Beach provided a wintery area that reminded Santa of home in the North Pole, while the sun and sandcastles on the other half of the course included the warm Florida getaway vacation option. Both Santa and the elves couldn’t decide where to put a mini-golf course, winter side or summer side, so they built the course on both sides!

Thank you for starting this! We'll be trying for 12/6!

Thank you! We're doing both Oogie Boogie Bash at Disneyland plus this one (I know, I know) and both tickets go on sale on the same day! Relieved to see the times look to be different!

Going to Universal for the Orlando Informer Meetup Dec 9 & 10, will be buying a ticket for the Dec 11 party, using my Marriott free night certificate plus some points to stay at the Swan. (Lots of late nights in there!) Probably use some points to stay another night and go to Epcot on the 12th for the holiday festivities.

They are not going to sell out that fast!

Good to know! We're going to the Dec. 22nd party (we'll be there for Christmas Day and that week!) so was a bit worried. I'll be up anyways when they go on sale since the time difference is in my favor so I'll just buy em right away.

I really hope I can make it down there for a few days in November.

Did Oogie Boogie back in 2019 and had a blast! Loved every minute of it. Ticket sales for Oogie Boogie were definitely brisk but weren't an immediate sellout. I would assume Oogie will sell out faster than MVMCP, but we shall see. Good luck and have FUN!

Does anybody know what resorts these include? We’re cruising DCL 12-16 then AoA 16-21. DS bday is on the 18th and would LOVE to get tickets for that party.

I believe from the Halloween thread people staying in the value resorts got emails they could purchase early. I think it is at least all Disney properties plus Swan/Dolphin.

You are in luck! According to the Christmas Party website, resorts include all Disney resorts, Swan and Dolphin, and Shades of Green.
