Happy holidays from Disney World!
We’re live from the sold-out first night of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and we’re bringing you with us to check out all the treats, merchandise, entertainment, rides, characters, and more. There’s so much to do in so little time, and the longest line at this party probably isn’t what you might think!
There are so many characters available to meet at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party — including some pretty rare and obscure ones we don’t often see in the parks! And, those rare characters can garner some pretty long wait which is exactly the case this year with one pair in particular. Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas had a 120-minute wait before the party had even officially started!
Check out this line! The party hadn’t even officially started yet when we stopped by, but it seemed pretty clear to us that Jack and Sally are one of the most popular attractions at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. The shorter line you can see in the video is to meet Mickey. A Cast Member we spoke with said that coming later in the evening and right before the parade is usually your best bet for a shorter wait. Just don’t wait too long because we’ve seen them pack it in early in past years.
The line to meet Jack and Sally is GROWING FAST! The other line you see here is to meet Mickey! ✨ pic.twitter.com/N9Cefi3638

A Cast Member we talked to said the wait time would likely drop once the party begins, but that’s quite the long wait! Since you have limited hours to see and do everything during this party, spending your time in line meeting characters might not be at the top of your list, but if you get the chance we recommend saying hi to some of your favorites.
We stopped by later in the evening, and the wait was only 15 minutes!
We’ll be bringing you live coverage of the first night of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more!
