What exclusive activities are available at MVMCP?

Details are still being released for 2024 but the merriment includes exclusive holiday character meet and greets as well as:

• Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show

  • 10pm

  • This combination of projections and fireworks is delightful, but the viewing area in front of the castle will be quite crowded. For a less chaotic experience consider watching from the Rapunzel bathrooms or near Gaston's Tavern. 

    

    
    

• Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade (runs from Frontierland to Main Street U.S.A.) 

  • 8:30pm and 11pm

  • The parade runs approximately 20 minutes and features toy soldiers, reindeer, gingerbread men, Disney characters dressed in the holiday finery plus the jolly old man himself. Disney pipes in the best holiday smells. It will even "snow" on Main Street. Pro-tip - the best spots to watch the parade are on Main Street near the front of the park, however this area will be very crowded. The second parade will have much lighter crowds.
