Specialty Food Items
In true Disney fashion the party has specialty food items scattered throughout the park. Cake, chocolate mousse, specialty milkshakes and even a turkey burger with dressing on top, just to name a few. Be sure and check your map AND https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2023/10/disney-eats-foodie-guide-to-mickeys-very-merry-christmas-party-2023/ for this years food options.
Merchandise
This years specialty popcorn bucket is the Mickey toy soldier bucket. These are located at the popcorn kiosks on either side of the hub in front of the castle. The lines are long and they are expected to sell out.
They also have party collector pins, jerseys, t shirts and Starbucks mugs.
Pro Tip
For the 2023 party, we recommend experiencing the treat stations/holiday twist attractions/meet and greets and photo opportunities around the park. THEN head toward the castle (hub) a little before the 10pm fireworks. Watch the fireworks and as the crowd thins out and many leave the park head down Main Street USA to get a spot for the parade.
The Cast Members came out before the parade and hyped up the crowd which was fun to experience. Also, on Main Street USA is where the snow takes place.
