Vegan Guide to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party runs select evenings throughout the months of November and December. The party itself begins at 7 p.m. and ends at midnight, however your party ticket will get you into Magic Kingdom as early as 4 p.m.
As day guests are filtering down Main Street U.S.A. and escorted to the exit, party guests are directed to the Main Street bypass on the right-hand side of town center. There are several “Christmas card worthy” photo ops in this exclusive area as well as your first opportunity for complimentary cookies. Party goers are given a Mickey Christmas tree ornament and a marshmallow treat (not vegan!).
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Entertainment
There are a few shows that will take place in front of Cinderella Castle during the party.
Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration is performed several times throughout the evening on the Castle Forecourt Stage (7:40pm, 9:25pm, 10:30pm, 11:55pm). This character extravaganza features Mickey Mouse and friends enjoying a Christmas party with music, festivities and fun.
A Frozen Holiday Wish takes place just before the first parade at 8:15 pm and ushers in the lighting of Cinderella Castle with holiday projections.
Minnie’s Wonderful Christmas Fireworks Show begins at 10:00 pm. You are going to want to stand in front of Cinderella Castle for this one as the new show is more about castle projections then the fireworks.
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade is by far one of the lengthiest specialty productions that Walt Disney World puts on. The Christmas music is infectious, the parade floats pump out holiday scents into the air, there’s snow falling on Main Street and all of your favorite characters are dressed up in their holiday finery.
The parade runs twice per night (8:30pm and 11:00pm) so you can pick which viewing best fits your schedule or watch them both from different vantage points if you choose. It begins its journey in Frontierland next to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and ends at the foot of Main Street U.S.A.
At Tomorrowland’s Rockettower Plaza Stage dance the night away at Club Tinsel. Also in Tomorrowland, Disney Junior Jingle Jam is hopping with your favorite friends from Disney Jr. inside Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. Santa’s Christmas Carnival is over at Storybook Circus.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Free Treats
Much like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is offering guests complimentary treats. Here’s a complete list of where to find them. This year they are offering Home Free and Red Plate brand allergy-friendly cookies. Two locations offered vegan drink options of apple cider, and one had fruit punch, the rest of the locations serve dairy hot chocolate or eggnog.
Also, we were excited to see the Snowman Pretzel has returned to the party! We haven’t seen him in a few years, but it was a great addition, especially if you are over all the sweet options! You can find them at the Fantasyland railroad station.
Fruit Punch is available at the Fantasyland railroad station, Apple Cider is available at the Lunching Pad in Tomorrowland, and Sunshine Tree Terrace in Adventureland.
There are also exclusive specialty Christmas treats for purchase during the party and this year we have one vegan one and one modifiable treat! Keep reading to learn more.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party “Holiday Twist” Attractions
Five Magic Kingdom attractions receive a special holiday twist to them and they can be experienced during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
In Adventureland take a ride on the Jingle Cruise.
In Fantasyland holiday enhancements begin at nightfall on the Mad Tea Party teacups with lighting and smoke effects.
Tomorrowland’s Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor will crack you up with corny holiday puns. Also in Tomorrowland, take a ride on Space Mountain where the Christmas lights and music are pumpin’. I especially enjoyed this overlay because instead of riding in complete darkness, you can actually see the track while riding the attraction.
Strap in for a drive on the Tomorrowland Speedway where you can take in all of the festive Christmas lights and displays set along the track.
Vegan Quick Service Dining Options during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party:
You can also get table service reservations for The Plaza Restaurant, Be Our Guest Restaurant, and Cinderella’s Royal Table.
Vegan Holiday Treats for 2025’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party:
