The 2026 Keepsake Ornament
Every Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party ticket includes a free holiday ornament, available at check-in.
This year’s design shows Mickey Mouse driving a red and gold holiday train. Two elves ride in the back car, stacking gifts. A green “2026” tag sits at the top, and a “Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party” banner runs along the bottom.
Train fans will notice a theme this year. The ornament lines up nicely with the party-exclusive Holiday Train popcorn bucket, which features Mickey in a Santa hat riding a train. See every holiday souvenir in our 2026 holiday popcorn buckets and sippers guide.
In-Park Wristband Pickup Locations
If you’re already inside Magic Kingdom before the party starts, you don’t need to walk back to the front of the park. You can pick up your event wristband at:
- Near Tortuga Tavern in Adventureland
- Mickey’s PhilHarMagic in Fantasyland
- Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor in Tomorrowland
That’s a big time saver if you’re spending the whole day in the park.
Free Holiday Cookies and Treats
One of the best parts of the party is the free treats. These are included with your party ticket at six locations:
- The Lunching Pad: Snickerdoodle Cookie
- Gaston’s Tavern: Snowman-shaped Pretzel
- Sunshine Tree Terrace: Hot Cocoa Cookie made with Dove Chocolate
- Tortuga Tavern: Buttercream Frosted Candy Cane Flavored Cookie
- Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café: Buttercream Frosted Green Sprinkle Cutout Cookie
- Storybook Circus Train Station: Cookie Dough Buttercream Frosted Cookie
Free Allergy-Friendly Treats
Allergy-friendly options are available at the same six locations:
- The Lunching Pad: Ginger Cookie
- Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café: Vanilla Mini Cookies
- Storybook Circus Train Station: Chocolate Chip Cookie
- Sunshine Tree Terrace: Double Chocolate Cookie
- Gaston’s Tavern: Pretzel Twists
- Tortuga Tavern: Chocolate Mint Mini Cookies
If anyone in your group has a food allergy, ask a Cast Member at each location for the allergy-friendly option.
Tips for the Treat Trail
- Plan a loop. The six locations are spread across Tomorrowland, Fantasyland (including Storybook Circus), and Adventureland. A clockwise or counterclockwise loop saves walking.
- Hit them early or late. Lines are often shortest right as the party begins and in the last hour.
- Bring a bag. It’s easy to collect more treats than you can eat at once.

New Holiday Photo Card Opportunity
There’s a new Holiday Photo Card Opportunity Presented by Shutterfly this year. You’ll find it at the gazebo behind Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe in Liberty Square.
If you want a family photo for this year’s holiday cards, this is the spot. PhotoPass photos can now sync with Shutterfly too, as we explained in our look at the Shutterfly PhotoPass link.
