FIRST LOOK at 2024 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Map, Wristbands, and Complimentary Ornament

We have a first look at the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party map, wristbands, and complimentary ornaments.

Adventureland check-in

Guests with valid tickets to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 p.m., with the party officially kicking off at 7:00 p.m. through midnight. Each guest must scan in either at the front turnstiles or one of the dedicated check-in locations around the park. Once a Cast Member has scanned the ticket, each guest receives a wristband.

A wrist adorned with a golden band, inscribed with "MICKEY’S VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS," evokes the magic akin to deciphering a Very Merry Christmas Party map.
Amidst the bustling crowd, a person raises their arm, adorned with a gold bracelet labeled "Cast Member Preview" and featuring a castle logo. Clutched in the other hand is a Very Merry Christmas Party map, guiding them through the festive magic.

At 6:00 p.m., when the park closes to day guests, Cast Members will check each guest to ensure they have a valid wristband in order to stay in the park. This year’s wristbands are fabric ribbons again. They feature the event logo and a slider to adjust the band’s fit. We got gold wristbands on the first night. Each event uses a different random wristband color to prevent people sneaking into the party with old bands.

Behind them is a snow-covered Main Street, U.S.A. with Cinderella Castle set against a dark blue sky of stars and fireworks. “Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party 2024” is at the top.

If you enter after 4:00 p.m. with a wristband, you will be directed down the Main Street bypass to the right. It takes you backstage where Cast Members will distribute maps and ornaments.
