Disney is eagerly anticipating the 2026 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party with an extensive lineup of character meet-and-greets across Magic Kingdom. Winnie the Pooh and his friends have relocated to Pete’s Silly Sideshow this year, where guests can admire their festive winter scarves alongside a snowy backdrop. Popular characters like Mickey and Minnie will appear in coordinating candy-cane outfits inside the Town Square Theater on Main Street, U.S.A. Adventureland, Liberty Square, and Fantasyland will host numerous rotating character appearances, including Aladdin, Captain Jack Sparrow, and various Disney princesses with their princes. Fantasyland offers the largest collection of character experiences, featuring Alice, the White Rabbit, Tweedle Dee, and Donald Duck’s family. Princess Fairytale Hall will showcase Anna, Elsa, Cinderella, and Rapunzel, while Mirabel and Bruno from Encanto will meet guests at the Fairytale Garden. Santa Claus and his elf assistants will host a special carnival in Storybook Circus, handing out treats and souvenir postcards. Guests are advised to plan ahead due to the moving nature of character locations and appearances throughout the event.
