We went on a Dec night when the weather was a monsoon from 5-7:30. Although the weather dampened the party spirit, it was still enjoyable. I have been many times and this was the second time where the weather did not cooperate. This season was not very cooperative
Pros:
Lower wait times, special fireworks show, night time Christmas parade, four o’clock entryCons:
Ride breakdownsReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 12/10/2023

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party
Pros:
Fun parade, and the fireworks/show was amazingCons:
People who didn't pay for the party stayed in the park. None of the employees checked for a wristband that I paid an arm and leg for. I felt like it was scammed!Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 12/08/2023

We went last night- 12/7. Very disappointed in the merchandise- hoodies , jackets etc all very generic and plain. Couldn’t find a Christmas party souvenir cup anywhere and I get one every year. The Que for TRON was a waste. They were only putting party groups on an entire train- waste space. We saw multiple trains with less that 4 people on the entire train. Several staff members seemed annoyed to be working.
Pros:
Parade was awesome, cookies were great. Fireworks were beautiful.Cons:
Merchandise was lacking its usual luster and cheeriness. No Mickeys Very Merry Christmas souvenir cup. Would not recommend this yearReviewed by nlg0517 Review Date: 04/22/2023

Best $350 I’ve ever spent at Disney! This was a birthday gift to myself during a mother/daughter birthday trip. We were able to enter the park at 4 so we started with the rides that had holiday overlays already. The lines were a little long but that changed quickly after 7 pm. We also used the extra time to grab dinner at Columbia Harbor House. The manager asked about our buttons and when I explained it was my actual birthday he gave us the 50th Anniversary Haunted Mansion shake! The holiday overlays after 7 were a lot of fun. The parade was magical. The fireworks are some of the best Disney puts on. We ended the night & closed down the park with the last stage show of the night. The characters were fantastic during the whole party.
Pros:
Highly recommendCons:

This used to be the event to go to, but like so much in recent years, the price is outrageous for nothing special. They sell far too many tickets to this event so it doesn't feel like anything special is happening. Back in the day it felt like you had rented out the park because every ride was a walk on, they put tape on the ground in Christmas designs for kids to play hopscotch on, there were little activities everywhere for kids to do. The cookies were fresh baked... Not anymore. Now it's bumper to bumper crowds that feel no different from an average busy day at MK. The cookies are disgusting prepackaged garbage and the lines to get them are like trick or treating lines when it used to be that you just walked up and got a couple of cookies casually whenever you wanted to, and they were GOOD! Now people are more interested on getting something free from Disney and they collect as many of those nasty things as they can and take them home since they are in plastic. The Christmas party has sadly turned into just another money machine that is over crowded and offers nothing special to make it worth the price tag anymore. This was once my favorite reason for going to WDW but charging more and offering less has ruined another great thing.
Pros:
There are none anymore.Cons:
Everything about it is a con.Reviewed by mcarolla Review Date: 03/31/2020

It's nice. I love Christmas but like it's just nothing special. Most of the cookies are only okay. The layovers aren't that exciting to me. I would say do it once and form your own opinion but it's too much money for something not that great.

I was worried about negative reviews, but bought the tickets anyway & my young adult children LOVED IT! They ran around enjoying the rides, food, special fireworks, character meet & greets like they were 10 yrs. old again. It was truly magical! I'm thinking that the after hours events are fantastic for teens/young adults. They have enough energy to keep going until midnight. Their middle aged parents headed back to the resort w/our sleeping grandson by 10 p.m:) Yes, it's crowded - but we didn't find it quite as busy as in the day time, especially as the evening wore on. Yes, it's festive! It was SNOWING on Main St.! And No - the snack vendors did not run out of treats. There were more treat offerings than we could possibly consume. Next to the Star Wars attraction, this was our family's favorite experience of the trip! We would love to do it again!
Pros:
Very festive atmosphere! Fun, fun, fun!Cons:
Long day for someReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 12/23/2019

Much busier than daytime. Lines the same wait as day. People climbing over you to see parade and shows, so even if you wait to get a spot people will fight you for it. Felt unsafe. So much rain shows didn’t happen or where stopped. Extremely disappointed.
Pros:
Christmas lights.Cons:
Too many people.Reviewed by DizFan12 Review Date: 12/20/2019
