The 2025 edition of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is here, and we’re on scene to share anything and EVERYTHING about the Magic Kingdom’s Holiday extravaganza!
Let’s get Merry!
First launched in 1983, the after-hours event has become a staple of the Holiday Season for millions of guests over the years, offering annual traditions including complimentary snacks and cocoa, the Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas Parade, Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks, characters in their Christmas best, and even snow (AKA snoap) on Main Street.
We’ll be updating this article with additional crowd and wait time information as the party continues, so keep checking back here for the latest info!
The 2025 edition of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party kicked off on November 7th…
Party day technically means early closure.
… and the crowds were huge, even three hours before the party was officially scheduled to begin.
… and the crowds are READY.
While many of the party’s offerings were in demand, the longest wait time early on belonged to the Jack & Sally meet & greet.
Crowds for Jack and Sally!
Large crowds were already set to wait for an hour for the meet & greet… once it actually opens THREE hours later. If you want to meet them, we would definitely recommend hopping in line to meet them as soon as you arrive, so you don’t waste literal hours of precious party time later on.
This was 10 after 4… 3 hours before the party even begins!
Of course, once you actually get to meet Jack and Sally, it’s one of the best meet & greet experiences Disney offers, including a heavily themed environment…
We’d love to live like Jack & Sally.
… and Jack in FULL Sandy Claws regalia.
“Kidnap the Sandy Claws…”
The 2025 edition of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is set to run select nights through December 21st. Stay tuned to DFB for more on the event.
