For the Little Ones

Merry Moments with Disney Characters

At Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, character meet and greets are an ideal activity for the little ones in your group. While some holiday attractions might not be the best fit for the younger explorers during this festive event, there are numerous enchanting opportunities for them to meet their beloved Disney characters who will also be dressed to impress in their holiday outfits. Surprise them by introducing them to new characters they have not met before and capture those precious moments with some photos.

Attractions

Although there are more limitations when it comes to attractions available for the little ones, you will still find experiences they can participate in that have a holiday twist! Check out Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor® in Tomorrowland® to get in some holiday laughter and cheer, and then check out Fantasyland® where you can stick with the classic ride of Prince Charming Regal Carrousel or opt for the holiday twist on Mad Tea Party. If your little one loves to ride, you will find other attractions geared towards young children still running during the party, but they will not have any festive overlays giving them that holiday twist. However, you will experience shorter lines due to the limited crowd during the party, and we know that is a Christmas miracle on its own!

Entertainment

There is an abundance of entertainment awaiting children at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, making it a challenge to decide what to do first! Kick off the evening by watching the stage show ‘Frozen Holiday Suprise’ where Olaf and his pals light up the castle to get the party started. After that, visit Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe for the Disney Junior Jingle Jam dance party. With a lively DJ and appearances by Disney Junior characters like Fancy Nancy and Doc McStuffins, kids can dance the night away. And when they have danced up an appetite, grab a complimentary cookie and head back to the castle, so they don’t miss Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration performance, where the whole gang spreads holiday cheer.
