Will Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Tickets Sell Out?
Last year, tickets did sell out for all the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Popular dates will sell out quickly, while some dates may linger a little bit until people make up their mind. But if this is your must-do party, I would be ready to purchase tickets the first day they go on sale.
It’s not quite as popular as Oogie Boogie Bash in Disneyland.
Is Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Worth It?
Your mileage may vary on Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, because you can’t do it all in 5 hours. The party hours are from 7 pm-12 am and there’s so much to do including special shows, rides, character meet and greets, fireworks, and parades. The party is a lot of fun, but you also have to manage your expectations.
If you loooooove Christmas, then this is the party for you. But if you just want some holiday decor and want to ride more rides, then I’d either use this ticket as your Magic Kingdom day or purchase Genie+ for your Magic Kingdom day.
And if you have little ones who can’t stay up late, then I would not buy a party ticket for them. A couple hours worth of party time is not worth almost $200 a person.
Happy holidays!
