Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party Offers Rare Opportunity to Meet Royal Couples

If you’re attending Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party this holiday season, you’ll have the opportunity to meet several royal couples throughout the park. This is a rare opportunity since the princesses often meet solo. Of course, you can regularly see a few princes in castle stage shows and parades at Magic Kingdom. Aside from that and a few rare appearances on Valentine’s Day, you would be hard-struck to find a meet-and-greet with one of the princess’s companions.

You’ll want to check the My Disney Experience app on the evening of your visit for the exact times. We noticed a few of these meet-and-greets are in the character section of the app, while others are listed in the entertainment section. Here are the instructions for locating characters in the app. They will not appear until closer to the party’s start time.

How to Locate Characters in the My Disney Experience App

Open the MDE app and select the pin drop at the bottom of the home screen.
Select the “Characters” category at the top middle of the screen. (The default is “Wait Times”.)
After selecting characters, use the park filter to select the park on the top left side of the screen.
Then, on the top right side of the screen, select “Show List.”
Scroll through the list of characters with their times and locations.

*As the day passes, you might notice that characters disappear from the app. When their last scheduled time passes, the meet-and-greet automatically disappears. A new schedule won’t be loaded until the following day. It is essential to check the app for meet-and-greets on the day of your visit.

*Meet Friends from Frozen at Fairytale Hall and Meet Royal Couples at Fairytale Hall are listed in the app’s entertainment section. You’ll use the exact instructions above, except select “entertainment” instead of characters. Princess Fairytale Hall is open between 7:00 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. during the party. We’ve had good luck in the past saving this meet-and-greet until closer to the end of the party. It’s also an excellent location to wait if it rains during the party.
