Tips for Enjoying the Food at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
With so many seasonal treats to try, a little planning can help you make the most of your party night.
Prioritize party-exclusive items. Some treats are only available during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, while others can be found during regular park hours. If there is something you really want to try, check its availability before your visit.
Use mobile ordering when available. Select locations, including Casey’s Corner and Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Café, offer mobile ordering. Check the My Disney Experience app for availability and ordering details during your event.
Leave room for dessert. From the Gingerbread Cheesecake Beignets to the Nice List Shake, there are plenty of sweet treats worth saving space for.
Plan food stops around entertainment. The party also features Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration, and Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show. Plan your food stops around the entertainment you most want to experience.
Check operating hours. Not every restaurant or snack location stays open for the same amount of time. Review the event information and My Disney Experience app before deciding when to grab a bite.
