Attraction Availability

One of the big benefits of going to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is short lines on the rides. We’ve walked on to Space Mountain and other rides during parties we’ve attended. Not all of the attractions are open during the party, but most of them are. Here’s the list of what to expect.

This list changes from time to time, and attractions may be closed at any time due to unforeseen circumstances.

Character Meet and Greets

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a great place to do Character Meet and Greets. The Characters do come out to celebrate in their Christmas finest. Here are some of the characters who are routinely found at the party.

• Minnie
• Daisy
• Donald
• Scrooge McDuck
• Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
• Jack Skellington as Sandy Claws
• Various Princesses and their Princes
• Anna and Elsa

There is a special line that forms at Princess Fairytale Hall for party guests. Many of the princesses will be available for meet and greets – with their princes!

Santa will also be available to meet at Santa’s Christmas Carnival, located near Dumbo the Flying Elephant and The Barnstormer in Storybook Circus.

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Crowds

The number of tickets sold to the party is a closely guarded secret. Only Disney knows how many people are in the parks. Through the years, it seems like that number has gotten bigger.

All-in-all the crowd levels at the party aren’t too bad. Crowds do pile up around the parade route for both showings of the parade. Also, Main Street becomes a sea of people after the first parade for the Holiday Wishes show. That being said, most of the rides have very short lines. We’ve been to sold out parties and walked onto rides like Buzz Lightyear and even Space Mountain.
