Seven of Very Merry's 55 Party Menu Items Are Sold Without a Party Ticket, Four of Them at The Plaza From November 1

Disney published the food and drink menu for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party on Thursday, October 29, on the Disney Parks Blog. It lists 55 items at 17 spots around Magic Kingdom, and 14 of them carry a new label. The detail worth knowing before you buy a party ticket for the food: seven of those items are also sold during regular park hours, so you can try them on a normal day with regular Magic Kingdom admission.

The short version: Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party runs on select nights from November 8 to December 22, 2026. Most of the menu is party-only. The exceptions are four items at The Plaza Restaurant, served in regular park hours from November 1, 2026, through January 2, 2027, plus a milkshake, a cold brew and a float. Disney listed no prices for any of it.

What you can eat without a party ticket

Disney's guide marks some items as sold during regular park hours as well as at the party. Seven of the 55 carry that note:

  • The Plaza Restaurant, regular park hours from November 1, 2026, through January 2, 2027 (Disney recommends reservations): the new Classic Reuben Sandwich on griddled rye, the new Santa's Floridian Pulled Pork Sandwich with roasted pineapple chutney, the new Red Velvet Cheesecake, and the Merry Berry Cosmopolitan.
  • Plaza Ice Cream Parlor: the Gingerbread Milkshake, sold in regular park hours and at the party until January 2, 2027.
  • Auntie Gravity's Galactic Goodies: the Cherry Cordial Cold Brew, made with Joffrey's cold brew and cherry whipped cream.
  • Aloha Isle: the Santa Surf Shack Float, with coconut soft-serve and passion fruit orange guava juice.

The party ends December 22, but the four Plaza items and the Gingerbread Milkshake are listed through January 2, 2027, so they keep going for 11 days after the last party night, through the week between Christmas and New Year's. Disney gave no start or end date for the cold brew or the float, only that they are sold in regular hours as well as at the party, so they may not be on sale yet.

The new items that are party-only

Eleven of the 14 new items are sold only on party nights:

  • Main Street Bakery: Winter Wonderland Express, a hazelnut mousse and panna cotta dessert.
  • Casey's Corner: Minnie Cocoa Cake, chocolate cake with marshmallow filling.
  • Plaza Ice Cream Parlor: Holiday Brownie Sundae with hot fudge and crushed peppermint.
  • Astrofizz: Peppermint Bark Cola Slushy, frozen Coca-Cola with a chocolate-peppermint swirl.
  • Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe: Mickey the Elf, a vanilla mousse dessert with a sugar cookie.
  • The Friar's Nook: Sugar Cookie Soda, Coca-Cola with cookie butter syrup and cold foam.
  • Storybook Treats: Very Merry Mickey Sundae.
  • Be Our Guest Restaurant: Mussels Marinière with white wine, garlic and sourdough croutons.
  • Sleepy Hollow: Mongolian Beef Bao with miso-gochujang sauce (mobile order available).
  • Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe: Tostada de Nochebuena with smoked pork and two salsas, and Pluto Reindeer Cake, a gingerbread cake with apple filling.

Disney's introduction also calls the Gingerbread Cheesecake Beignets at Golden Oak Outpost new, but the beignets' own entry in the guide does not carry the new label the other 14 items have. We have counted 14, going by the labels.

Returning favorites, and the rest of the menu

Disney named the Holiday Pot Roast Melt at Cosmic Ray's and the Nice List Shake at Auntie Gravity's as returning favorites. Casey's Corner has a holiday pot roast topping, with beer-cheese sauce, crispy onions and horseradish mustard, on three items: a hot dog, mini corn dogs and loaded fries. The Peppermint Bark Funnel Cake at Sleepy Hollow and the Pastrami Reuben Spring Rolls at the Spring Roll Cart are on the menu without a new label; Disney does not say whether they are returning.

Cinderella's Royal Table has a party menu of roasted pork belly, lamb chops and a slow-cooked beef strip loin, with a Hazelnut Carriage Cake and two cranberry cocktails. None of those carry a new label. Be Our Guest's party menu adds a free-range chicken, a lamb chop cassoulet, a flourless Black Forest trifle and two cocktails alongside the new mussels.

Late-night hours during the party

The guide gives a party-night closing time for every one of the 17 spots, which matters if you plan to eat after the parade or fireworks:

  • Until midnight: Main Street Bakery, Casey's Corner, Astrofizz, Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe, The Friar's Nook, Sleepy Hollow and Golden Oak Outpost (all but the bakery have mobile order).
  • Until 11 p.m.: Plaza Ice Cream Parlor, Auntie Gravity's Galactic Goodies and Aloha Isle.
  • Until 10 p.m.: Storybook Treats, Pinocchio Village Haus, Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe and the Spring Roll Cart (Pinocchio and Pecos Bill have mobile order).
  • Until 9 p.m.: Cinderella's Royal Table, reservations recommended.
  • Until 8 p.m.: The Plaza Restaurant and Be Our Guest Restaurant, reservations recommended.

What Disney did not say

There are no prices in the guide, for any item. It does not say whether the Cinderella's Royal Table and Be Our Guest party menus are fixed-price meals or ordered item by item. Disney also notes that all offerings are subject to change.

Planning note: Tickets are still the harder part. When we last counted on October 24, 13 of the 25 party nights were sold out, including every Thanksgiving week night. If you cannot get a party ticket, seven items are sold in regular park hours: the milkshake, cold brew and float at walk-up counters, and the four Plaza Restaurant items from November 1 (reservations recommended).
