One of the most exciting aspects of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom is the opportunity to meet a wide variety of Disney characters, many of whom are dressed in their holiday finest or are rarely seen during regular park hours. For the 2025 event, Disney has assembled a lineup of over 35 characters spread across the park.
Knowing where to find your favorites is key to making the most of your party time. This guide provides a complete list of all the character meet and greet locations for the 2025 party to help you plan your festive evening.

Planning Your Character Greetings
With so many characters available, meeting them all in one night is nearly impossible. It is a good strategy to review the list and prioritize your top two or three must-do meet and greets. Some characters, like Jack Skellington and the Seven Dwarfs (when they appear), often have the longest lines, so heading to their locations early or late in the party can sometimes reduce your wait. Be sure to check the My Disney Experience app and the party-specific map on the night of your visit for exact locations and times, as character appearances are always subject to change.
