I Cried at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, and You'll Never Guess Why

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a very special after hours event that happens each year.

Snoap almost always makes us emotional

Between the snoap (that’s snow+soap) falling on Main Street, U.S.A., the holly jolly atmosphere, ride overlays, exciting entertainment, the iconic parade, and fireworks, there are a lot of moments that can make you emotional. While we were definitely feeling the emotions throughout the night, there was something we stumbled upon that genuinely made us burst into happy tears.

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party happens on select nights from 7PM to midnight. We made the most of our party ticket by squeezing in as many things as possible during the event. In fact, as the night was ending, we decided to make one more stop for a free drink. While we were rushing to get hot chocolate before the party officially ended, we passed through Frontierland and stumbled across the Reindeer Wranglers. They perform throughout the party in Frontierland and serenade you with holiday tunes. But that wasn’t what made us cry — no, it was this.

Reindeer Wranglers with Cast Members

The Wranglers were singing “Hallelujah” to this line of party Cast Members, who were slowly swaying back and forth to the music, really feeling the music and soaking in the moment as they sang along. You could truly feel the love and holiday cheer of the moment and how special it all was. You really had to be there to fully feel the moment, but we did capture this video to give you a little glimpse of the magic.

Honestly, we just teared up again while we were rewatching it! You never know what you may find while you’re running around the party, and it was a moment that really stopped us and reminded us to take a breath and feel the Disney holiday magic.
