It’s the first night of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party this year and we have a first look at the event map, featuring treat locations, character meet and greet locations, and other important information.
Guests entering the park for the party can pick up the map from Cast Members. The party officially begins at 7:00 p.m., but guests can enter with their party tickets at 4:00 p.m. Before 8:00 p.m., a special treat trail is open for party guests behind the right side of Main Street, U.S.A. (Market Street) to control traffic flow.
