What time should I arrive at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party?

Timing your arrival strategically can maximize your party experience. Party ticket holders can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 PM, though the party officially begins at 7:00 PM.

Optimal Arrival Strategy:
3:30 PM: Arrive at the park to beat the 4 PM rush
4:00 PM: Longest entry lines – expect 30+ minute wait
5:00-5:30 PM: Much shorter entry lines (5-10 minutes)
6:00 PM: Minimal wait, but you lose valuable party time

Early Entry Benefits (4-7 PM):
 ● Enjoy 3 extra hours in the park
 ● Ride popular attractions before party crowds arrive
 ● Grab dinner before party starts
 ● Secure prime viewing spots for first parade

Favorite Grampy’s Pro Tip: Our Disney experts recommend arriving by 5:00 PM for the perfect balance – shorter entry lines while still getting 7 hours of magic. We’ll create a customized arrival plan based on your priorities and dining reservations.
