As always, we bring the most comprehensive information to our followers and customers. Check below what to expect from the 2023 edition and the dates when the event will take place, so you can start organizing your trip today. 

Main Attractions of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in 2023: 

Special Characters – This is the moment when the Magic Kingdom brings in some characters that aren’t usually present in the park, like Snow White’s seven dwarfs. 

Treat Distribution – Visitors are treated to free cookies and hot chocolate. 

Fireworks Show – Usually, the Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show takes place at 10 p.m. and is an incredible display of fireworks. 

Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration – The famous show featuring Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and other characters. It happens in front of Cinderella’s Castle and has varied timings depending on the day. 

Frozen Holiday Surprise – Elsa illuminates Cinderella’s Castle, and other characters like Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf also take part in the show. This attraction is new for 2023. 

Christmas Parade – The Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas Parade is the most beautiful parade of the event and occurs twice during the night, at 8:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. The parade starts at Frontierland and ends on Main Street. The first one tends to be quite crowded, so it’s important to arrive early or wait for the second time, which is usually quieter. 

Totally Tomorrowland Area Christmas – This is a musical show with characters from Monsters, Inc., Stitch, Buzz Lightyear, and Mike Wazowski. It’s perfect for children and occurs five times per night. 

Important Tip: 

It’s important to remember that staying informed about the dates of specific shows and parties in the Orlando parks is necessary even if you don’t plan to attend them, as they usually affect the normal park operating hours. 

At Magic Kingdom on Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party nights, the Happily Ever After fireworks show doesn’t take place, and the park also closes its gates earlier if you don’t have a ticket for the nighttime event. 

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Dates in 2023:

The Secret to Enjoying the Party with Kids: 

Certainly, this is the perfect party to bring the little ones to, making it a unique family trip. Just as the concern for buying tickets in advance and reserving hotels, another detail is also crucial if you’re traveling with children: stroller rental. 

Don’t wait to rent one directly at the park, as you risk not getting one and it might not be comfortable for your little one. 

Here at StrollerCare, we care a lot about the comfort of our young clients. After all, when they’re comfortable, they enjoy the ride much more, and parents also have a more peaceful and enjoyable experience.
