The holiday season means the return of one of Walt Disney World’s most popular events – Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (MVMCP) at the Magic Kingdom.
On select days in November and December, the Magic Kingdom transforms into a Christmas wonderland. Festive events, attractions, and treats decorate the park from 7:00pm to close. Word of Mouse Tip: ticket holders can enter the park at 4:00pm. Pricing for MVMCP varies depending on which day you attend, and if you have Annual Passholder or Disney Vacation Club discounts.

Crowd Information and Planning Tips
Crowds at MVMCP tend to be concentrated around specific events, especially parades and fireworks. Good news though – Disney limits the number of tickets sold for each party, ensuring smaller crowds than a normal operating day. Parties tend to be busier closer to Christmas and on weekend nights.
If you’re looking for a sit down (table service) meal during the party, Be Our Guest, Cinderella’s Royal Table, and Crystal Palace will be open. Word of Mouse Tip: taking time for a table service meal will cut into your party time. We suggest sticking to quick service, or just enjoy the complimentary snacks!
