Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party vs Jollywood Nights

Based on what your preferences are, MVMCP makes the most sense. MK has more rides than HS since that will be will be a priority. The parade at MVMCP is really good. The fireworks is 10x better at MVMCP than Jollywood. And for the treats, both have special food offering for purchase, only MVMCP has the free cookies.

I would say Jollywood has better shows though.

We went to both last Christmas - Went to Jollywood Nights with two other adults and my wife and I went alone to the MVMCP. I would recommend Jollywood over MVMCP based on our personal preference. I didn't have any expectations beyond a video I watched @ DVCFAN so we went in knowing there would be food and some fun. For our group, it didn't disappoint! We are getting the group back together this Christmas and doing Jollywood again.

We have the time to go to MVMCP but will be opting out. It felt like it was more a cookie run than a party. It would have been more fun with our kids - We did end up walking the park twice and got on some rides pretty quick. We ended up taking a ton of cookies back to the kids for Christmas at the parents. The pot roast was really good (even if the hot dog wasn't my thing)! And I'd say that the party Pin is a better looking pin than the Jollywood Nights one.

I really don't think you can go wrong though as long as you go into it to have a good time!

You won’t see snow falling on Main Street at the Jollywood one, something to consider.

For me, the falling “snow” is an emotional thing as in “I’ll Be Home For Christmas.” Just isn’t a Disney home Christmas without the MVMCP.

However, I must admit that being in the MK on Christmas Day is better still, though like trying to navigate in a sardine can of people after around 9:30 a.m. Not at all sure I’m eager to do that again.

I will be going to MVMCP for the first time this year. Any advice will be appreciated. It will be just DH and me!

I gotta second Christmas Day at MK. It is not very magical. I feel fortunate that we escaped with our lives and children intact. That being said, MVMCP is a really must do. We usually head in to the park a bit early. But not so early to be part of the initial crush. It can be a bit intimidating seeing everyone queued up for entry. We take it pretty slow and take in the vibe. Pretty magical. We are going to MNSSHP this year instead.

Enjoy!
