Of all the Special Events at Walt Disney World, my absolute favorite is Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
The fun begins TONIGHT at the Magic Kingdom!
“On 19 special nights, holiday revelers can delight during this cheery, family-friendly event. Party-goers embrace the joys of the season – sipping cocoa, catching a ‘snowflake’ and enjoying merry shows, fireworks, carolers and special character meet and greets.”

There are so many wonderful things about the Party that I enjoy. For starters, Cinderella Castle is decorated in breathtaking Dream Lights.
I really love Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmastime Parade which features many beloved characters and is complete with a visit from Santa Claus himself. One of my favorite parts of the parade is when the toy soldiers come marching by.
 The Holiday Wishes fireworks are mesmerizing. I especially enjoy cookies eating Christmas cookies and sipping hot cocoa while strolling down Main Street in the falling snow. Some of my favorite memories of Disney in recent years are from Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
I’m so excited to be bringing my family to the Disney World in just a few short weeks and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is on the agenda. It promises to be a magical night!
