Disney4me Posted August 15 Report Posted August 15 I can’t believe we’re talking about Christmas already, but here we are! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is just around the corner, and we want to make sure you’re prepared to tackle this special-ticketed event! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party There is A LOT to experience in such a short amount of time at this party, so there are some tips you should follow — enter the park at 4PM, watch the second showing of the parade for fewer crowds, and get the party-exclusive snacks as opposed to the snacks available during regular park hours. BUT there’s a NEW rule you need to follow for this year’s rendition! There’s one thing that’s really inevitable when it comes to Disney World — the weather and its unpredictability. We’ve seen it before — bright and sunny one minute and torrential downpour the next, just for it to become sunny again 10 minutes later. Look at those clouds! It’ll likely rain on your Disney World vacation, more specifically during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. And if it does, there is one rule you NEED to follow — DO NOT LEAVE! Disney recently released their updated Weather Updates and Policies for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, which will likely carry over to the Christmas party. Rain at Magic Kingdom If the policies remain the same, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will continue in the event of most inclement weather. It is recommended to experience indoor offerings such as shopping, dining, or attractions. Outdoor attractions and entertainment will close, but everything else will remain operational. Space Mountain at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Speaking of entertainment, these offerings, showtimes, and experiences are subject to change without notice, and this includes in inclement weather. So, what happens when special offerings get delayed, or even worse, shut down? Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Well, in some cases, a rain check is given. We saw this last year at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party — a notification was given on the My Disney Experience app, alerting guests who attended the party that their party ticket had been converted to a 1-day park-hopper ticket. ©Disney However, this is not guaranteed, and Disney has not confirmed the rain check ticket policy yet this year. The newest update from Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party actually suggests that they will be giving out fewer rain check tickets this year, so we’d think it would be the same for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Since inclement weather is common, it’s best to be prepared if bad weather approaches. Be sure to pack some ponchos, shoe covers, umbrellas, and anything else that may keep you dry. We also recommend getting your must-dos in earlier in the night, especially if they’re outdoors and may not be available during inclement weather (outdoor attractions or live entertainment). Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks If the weather really gets bad where you’re no longer enjoying your night, you can always head over to Guest Relations across from the Town Square Theater and speak with a Cast Member. While it’s not guaranteed you will be compensated or given a rain check ticket, there is no harm in asking — the worst they can say is ‘no!’ Disney Jr. Jingle Jam But there is still SO much to do during the party if it rains, so make the best of it! Meet Santa Jack Skellington and Sally in the Town Square Theater. Grab a festive snack from an indoor dining location. Ride the holiday-themed Space Mountain or experience holiday jokes at the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor. Just have fun, because you’re in Disney World during the holidays after all! Monsters, Inc.
