Wanted to jump on with a quick update: Usually, the early-in-the-season Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party are a pretty safe bet for lighter crowds and shorter lines. However, the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party of the season has ALREADY sold out. This year, the first party is Thursday, November 9, 2017. That party has already completely sold out!!
A couple things that COULD be contributing to this: Perhaps, Disney is releasing few tickets for the very first party of the season, giving them a chance to work out any kinks in this year’s party events, shows and parades. Or, they might limit the tickets for the first party to generate news and stories like this one: this could build excitement and drive people that have been thinking about attending the parties this year rush to commit and buy their tickets before they’re all gone!! Or, quite simply: There may just be a LOT of people planning to attend that very first party. Usually, that week in November is reasonably light traffic–maybe this year is different? Maybe more people are traveling to Disney this November? I don’t work for Disney, so I honestly don’t know. I’ll keep researching and see if I can learn anything more about this year’s crowds.
Our tickets for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party are for the 5th party of the season, November 16. I will be sure to report back after the party to let you all know how crowded it is (or isn’t!) and whether it’s sold out by party night. Here’s a link to my post with more details about Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
How about all of you? Are you planning to visit Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party this year? Have you bought your tickets yet? I’d love to hear from you!
Happy Dreaming!
