There’s nothing quite like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom. With the twinkling lights, festive music, and the magical “snowfall” on Main Street, U.S.A., you are instantly transported into a holiday wonderland.
From exclusive parades and fireworks to complimentary cookies and cocoa, this after-hours event is packed with once-a-year experiences that make it a bucket-list tradition for so many Disney fans. But this year, there’s a new twist you’ll want to know about before finalizing your party plans.

We regret to inform you that your Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party plans might need a little adjusting this year. Why? The Beak & Barrel, the cozy new tavern in Adventureland, is officially open during the party. This means that you might want to spend some of your precious party time here.
While Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party starts at 7 PM and lasts until midnight, there is SO much offered that it can feel like a race against the clock. Between the fireworks, the parade, the specialty snacks, and fun character meet and greets, it can feel like you have a long list of must-dos. Now, with The Beak and Barrel open during the party, you’ll be adding one more thing to that list. Reservations for The Beak and Barrel are available starting at 7:00 PM and are strongly recommended. Bookings are subject to availability.
FULL REVIEW of Magic Kingdom’s NEW Beak and Barrel Lounge
Deciding to stop at Beak & Barrel means trading off a little ride time or cookie trail hopping for a chance to relax and sip something seasonal, but for many guests, the trade is worth it. It’s a rare opportunity to experience one of Magic Kingdom’s newest hangouts that might just have some fun holiday twists. Beak & Barrel is already one of the hottest lounges in Magic Kingdom, and during a hard-ticket event like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, the availability for reservations might be slim, so you’ll want to grab yours early.
If Beak & Barrel is on your holiday must-do list, plan ahead. Set an alert, keep refreshing that My Disney Experience app, and be ready to adjust your party strategy. While it may cut into time for fireworks or parades, the chance to enjoy a festive drink in the new bar might be worth it to you.
