Disney PhotoPass has 20 Magic Shots and photo ops at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party 2026, which runs on select nights at Magic Kingdom from November 8 through December 22. New ones this year include Olaf, Stitch, the Holiday Orange Bird, Bean Bunny and Jack Skellington flying his sleigh across the moon. Here is every one, sorted by where you will find it in the park.
Before you go: The photographer adds Magic Shots after the photo, so ask for the one you want by name. Your photos go to the My Disney Experience app. To download them, you need Memory Maker or you can buy them one at a time.

What is new: Compared with last year, Olaf, Stitch, the Holiday Orange Bird, Bean Bunny, Santa Jack and Mickey and Minnie are new. The Muppet Christmas Carol shot is back in Liberty Square, in a big year for the movie that also brought a new Muppet Christmas Carol collection to Disney Store.
Party details: Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party starts at 7 p.m. on party nights, and guests can enter Magic Kingdom at 4 p.m. Tickets run from $189 to $229 plus tax, depending on the night. Not going to the party? Read our Christmas party hack from last year.
Our take: Santa Jack is the one to get. Jack Skellington flying across the moon over the castle makes a great holiday card. Plan a stop in Liberty Square too, since the Muppets, Bean Bunny and Zero are all a short walk apart.
