A social media Reel from a Walt Disney World Cast Member appears to indicate that the familiar Cast Member costume for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party may no longer be in use.
In the video, posted by Instagram user alexasmagicalife, the Cast Member holds a striped bow headband before changing into the longtime holiday-party costume. Text over the Reel reads, “RIP to another legendary costume,” while its caption asks, “Can we make this one better than the Halloween one plz?”
The reference is to this year’s change to Cast Member costumes at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, which the post characterizes as unpopular.

The Reel does not show a replacement costume or provide official confirmation from Disney. WDWNT reported it planned to attend the first night of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom the following day to see whether the change is in place.
