At Magic Kingdom, you can experience “Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party,” a special ticketed event featuring a parade, holiday fireworks, and snow on Main Street U.S.A. The parade showcases your favorite Disney characters in their holiday best, and the fireworks display, “Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks,” lights up the sky in festive colors. Plus, who could resist indulging in the complimentary cookies and hot cocoa scattered throughout the park?
