"Official" 2024 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

The only downside about going solo. Too many things to try and only so much stomach space

Amen, friend. That’s always my solo problem too! Want to eat ALL of it, but can’t possibly manage!

Very excited to see the food and snack list! Fortunately, my daughter and I have time planned at MK outside of the party night so we'll plan to try the foods that are available outside of party time when we're on our regular ticket, and focus on the party exclusive stuff the night we're at the party.

Going to be a LOT of snacking this trip...we're hitting up Epcot Food and Wine AND Swan/Dolphin Food and Wine.

I was thinking the same thing. I have to be strategic and make sure we focus on the ones available at all times for regular hours. There's so many things I want to try!

I definitely want the holiday turkey burger, although I’m not sure I can wait until 7 to have dinner. There are so many treats I’d like to try, but also don’t want to spend the party feeling gross. Thankfully, I have two kids to help me try them. I want to try everything gingerbread and I know the kids will want the churro. Looking forward to trying the gingerbread Coke. I’ve always wanted to try it at Disney Springs but we barely make it over there on our Nov/Dec trips.

Two weeks to go…

YAY FOR TREATS!!

I'm so excited for POG juice dole whip float! I was making happy noises when I read that lol. I'm SO READY for the tamale and the new Orange chicken and Szechuan cauliflower, oh and the Brie flatbread!
I'm all for that dessert with the macaron too!

I will confess, I wasn't feeling it until I saw the Cosmic Ray's Turkey Burger. Turkey burger ftw!

I had the turkey burger last year. It was good but very filling

RIGHT?! I love going solo but I need help eating everything lol This year I'm going with a friend, hopefully he can help me.
When are you going to the party?

We chose two holiday parties this year 11/8 and 11/11. I was wary of going on the first party as the vloggers tend to dominate that party. But I realized that the vloggers tend to focus on all the food offerings. This may really help us prioritize meet and greets and rides for the first party and then after we watch the videos we can decide what food works best for our second party.

There are tens of thousands of people at these events. A handful of vloggers make up far less than 1% of guests. Most will not see a vlogger during the entire party.

I'm curious, do you know the approximate number of regular tickets sold in a given day, and how it compares to a holiday or after hours party?

After hours are wayyyyy less crowded than the parties. The parties are jam packed full of people now. Just prioritize and have a good game plan.

It would be really interesting to know the number of tickets sold, normal day vs. party vs. after hours.

12/3 and 12/20 now sold out!

I have a feeling the first week of December is going to be especially busy this yeae

12/3 and 12/20 now sold out!

I just got so lucky. I remembered we hadn’t booked our tickets for 12/3 (the only day we can go). I went to checkout and they sold out while I was checking out. I called and they were able to finish the transaction and they showed sold out on the website by the time I hung up. My daughter would have been so bummed if we missed this tradition.

Buy your tickets soon if you have a date in mind!

 

[Memorymakerfor4]

I'm surprised the 12/3 date sold out before any of the Thanksgiving week parties.

I thought the thanksgiving week parties would sell out first. I’m surprised. what is happening the first week of December?

 

[Lsdolphin]

I selected the first week of December based on recommendation of one of the bloggers but now thinking maybe not the best time to go…

I don't think it means anything as far as crowds. All the parties sell out every year.

ADRs are still wide open that week and crowd levels have been pretty low all year, so hopefully this week isn't extra crowded!

I don’t know….resorts are mostly fully booked all week…

I just looked and saw quite a few available. Even Beach Club!

Regardless, I'm sure it will be fine. It's not going to be Thanksgiving or Christmas crowds. Probably not even end of October crowds!

I’m looking at AP options and I just checked again and see 2 options at around $1400 a night….

Sounds like a good plan! What is Sean/Dolphin Food & Wine? Are there details somewhere?
