Overview

• Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party runs on select nights from November 7 through December 21 at Magic Kingdom with the parade, fireworks, Santa sightings, complimentary cookies and cocoa, and reduced ride waits.
• The Beak and Barrel, a new Pirates of the Caribbean–themed lounge, will be open during the after-hours event as an added experience for partygoers.
• Reservations for the lounge are limited, open 60 days before the visit, and are reported to sell out quickly due to high demand.
• Booking the lounge on a party night requires a ticket to that same evening’s event, creating a planning hurdle for interested guests.
• The lounge’s inclusion introduces a time tradeoff for attendees, with alternative party-night dining still available at Be Our Guest, Cinderella’s Royal Table, and The Plaza Restaurant.
