Festive Disney PhotoPass Opportunities During Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

I know what you might be thinking: HO-HO-HOld on, it's only early November! But part of the magic of the season at Walt Disney World Resort is that it comes a little early for those of us whose Christmas spirit can't fit into just one month. If you're one of those people, I bring tidings of comfort and joy: Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party begins tomorrow at Magic Kingdom Park!

During the party, while you're feeling the warmth of the Christmas season (and it's not just the Florida weather), Disney PhotoPass photographers will be making your spirits even brighter with merry photo opportunities! Below are the special photo ops you'll find during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.

Have a taste for sweet Magic Shots? The Mickey Mouse Cookie Magic Shot is available in Adventureland, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland, while the Candy Cane Magic Shot can be found in front of Cinderella Castle and on the bridges leading to Liberty Square, Tomorrowland, and Fantasyland.

Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade is a beloved party staple, and if you love it as much as I do, you'll adore these photo opportunities featuring a few parade favorites! The Toy Soldiers can march into your photo on Main Street, U.S.A., and the photographer at the entrance to the park can offer a Magic Shot featuring a cheerful reindeer and gingerbread man.

Disney Characters can make an appearance in your photos too! A Magic Shot featuring a festively dressed Tinker Bell will be available on Main Street, U.S.A., and look for Olaf to pop into photos taken on the bridges leading to Liberty Square, Tomorrowland, and Fantasyland.

For photos with a traditional Christmas vibe, visit any Disney PhotoPass photographer in the park (except for those at Character Experience locations) to take a Mistletoe Magic Shot, and get a special Animated Magic Shot when you meet Santa Claus.

At various locations around the park, photographers will be offering holly-jolly props for you to include in your photos, including the new Tinker Bell lantern! You'll find this new pixie-dusted prop in Fantasyland near Enchanted Tales with Belle.

And finally, photographers will also be capturing your memories at Character Experience locations during the event.

If you want to deck your halls with all of your photos taken during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, purchase Memory Maker One Day* and apply the entitlement to the day you attended the party! With Memory Maker One Day, you'll receive digital downloads of all your Disney PhotoPass photos linked to your account that were taken on the one day of your choice. Memory Maker One Day is available in the My Disney Experience mobile app once you've linked at least one Disney PhotoPass photo to your account from the day to which you plan to apply the entitlement. You can also purchase it inside Town Square Theater at Magic Kingdom Park.

There's just no place like home for the holidays, and if your home is Walt Disney World Resort, I hope these photos will always serve as a reminder of the joy and magic you find here, especially at this time of year!
