Magic Kingdom Shines With Very Merriest Decorations
Though the Magic Kingdom remains open for all guests for another hour, the magical theme park transformed tonight into a spectacle of holiday splendor fit for the first Christmas-themed special event in almost two years. Very Merriest After Hours transforms Main Street U.S.A. and the rest of the Magic Kingdom into a holiday wonderland beginning tonight at 9 p.m.
Incredible lighting in holiday reds and greens illuminated the recently redecorated flower beds that greet guests as they approach the Walt Disney World Railroad Station.
Guests stopped for a Magic Shot with Disney Photopass photographers on their way into the celebration with “Happy Holidays” illuminated on the sidewalk below the station.
Inflatables greeted guests as they entered Main Street U.S.A., speckled in seasonal snowflakes and playful fonts that characterize the new After Hours event.
Tonight’s sold out festivities mark the return of holiday-themed special events to the Walt Disney World Resort. The last party to take place was Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in 2019. Very Merriest After Hours presents a new event for the theme park as it reimagines its special ticketed events post-pandemic.
Chip and Dale joined Mickey, Minnie and the other members of the Sensational Six to bid guests without tickets for tonight’s event adieu as they left the park for the evening. Though still sporting their 50th anniversary “EARidescent” ensembles, the group of friends will most certainly be changing into their holiday apparel for tonight’s spectacle.
The train station as well as the rest of the Magic Kingdom received a major holiday makeover last week. As is tradition for the theme park, crews worked throughout the night of Halloween and into the morning of November 1st to transform the incredibly popular destination into a holiday wonderland.
A Very Merriest Beginning to the Holidays
With the enormous Christmas Tree illuminated at the center of Town Square, tonight’s event is sure to make a perfect start to the holiday season for so many. Stay tuned to MickeyBlog for more of Very Merriest After Hours tonight live at the Magic Kingdom.
