Guide to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party 2024

Every year people ask me if they should attend Mickey’s Very Christmas Party. My answer is always a big, “YES!” Now I know ticket prices are more than what most people expect, and I assume this is why people want to know if it’s worth it, but like most things at Disney World, you get what you pay for.

I have yet to hear from anyone who didn’t have a great time.

Plus, there’s something extra magical that happens here if you’re a fan of rides. I’ll explain more further down. It’s the NUMBER 1 reason I go to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the Christmas season than at Walt Disney World! And this party is the highlight of the season.

I am so excited to hear that those delicious complimentary cookies and hot cocoa will be offered throughout Magic Kingdom once again in 2024. This is maybe the very reason I go!

Here’s a tip: The free cookies are big, so there’s no need to consume them all in one night. It’s perfectly ok to bring a backpack or bag so you can save them for later.

Of course, Main Street, U.S.A. will be decorated beautifully but so are some of the attractions.

And speaking of attractions, it’s time to reveal why I go to MVMCP each year!

Space Mountain. Yep. That’s it.

During Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and only during the party, you can ride Space Mountain with red and green lights on.

How many times have you been on Space Mountain and wished that maybe the work lights would come on so you can see what it really looks like?

Starting 1 hour after the party officially begins, Space Moutain will get a holiday makeover complete with Christmas music rock and roll style and flashing red and green lights.
