The weather outside is hardly frightful, but even in Florida, no holiday celebration would be complete without snow. At Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party there is a 100 percent chance of flurries in the Magic Kingdom on Main Street, U.S.A. each party night!
Of course, there is plenty of magic as well, with Disney characters in their holiday best for meet-and-greets, complimentary cocoa and cookies, special holiday entertainment including the enchanting Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade and a nighttime fireworks spectacular. Also enjoy the most popular Magic Kingdom attractions during the evening.
The magical snow is predicted to fall on 18 select nights — now through December 18. A special admission ticket is required and many nights sell out in advance, so purchase your tickets to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party today!
