It’s the most wonderful time of the year, which means it’s also the BUSIEST time of the year!

Let’s party!

Christmas is officially here at Disney World, and that means Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is finally back! Of course, we just had to be there on the first party night, and we weren’t the only ones with that idea. You’re not going to believe the crowds that showed up on day one!

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a separately ticketed event that runs on select nights at Magic Kingdom from November 8th through December 22nd. The party runs from 7 PM till midnight, but you can enter the park starting at 4 PM to enjoy some time in Magic Kingdom before it closes to the public for the party.

It’s time for the Christmas Party!

We thought the Christmas Party was going to be busy, but look at these crowds at the entrance before the party has even really begun! The line starts more than an hour in advance, and it gets particularly hefty on opening night.

WOW!

It took a little while to get to the front of the line and get our tickets scanned. They had the queue zig-zagging to keep the walkways clear. If you’re planning on rope dropping the party like this, just be prepared to stand in the direct sun.

Once we scanned in and grabbed our wristband, we headed up to the train station in Town Square to get a birds-eye view of folks entering the party. There was a pretty steady flow.

But the REAL kicker here was Main Street, U.S.A., where things were absolutely SLAMMED. This space was packed with those who’d come in early for the party, along with guests who hadn’t yet left Magic Kingdom for the day. You’ll likely see heavy crowds here between 4 PM and 6 PM on party days.

SO MANY PEOPLE

NOTE: We’ll be updating this with more crowds and wait times so stay tuned!

Sure, you’ll have to deal with the busyness, but there’s something really special about the Christmas party that makes it all worth it. The party offers exclusive entertainment, access to Magic Kingdom attractions (some with special holiday overlays), exclusive character meet-and-greets, festive treats, and free cookies and cocoa all night long!
