Christmas Party at Disney World

Disney Christmas parade

It’s already more than halfway to Christmas! Disney has announced that all of the usual festivities will return to all of the parks this year. More details on those coming soon.

At Disney World in Florida, this means the Festival of the Holidays in EPCOT and many other events in the other parks. However, the most anticipated is probably the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and Disney has confirmed that it will indeed return in its full glory this year!

This special event takes place on select nights November 8 to December 22, 2022, from 7pm – midnight ET, though you can get in the park after 4pm with the party ticket. No park reservations necessary for the party.

Throughout the evening, you can:

  • Delight in the amazingly festive Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks show!
  • Gather to watch Disney Characters give a yuletide nod to the season during Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade.
  • Head over to Cinderella Castle for a yuletide stage show, Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration!
  • Get the perfect picture and Magic Shots with Disney pals dressed in their Christmas best!
  • Make your night extra sweet when you explore the park searching for cookies and cocoa, plus many other holiday treats and merch. 
  • Dance the night away at several dance parties with your favorite characters.
  • Take in the elaborate decorations that bring the spirit of the season to life!
  • Enjoy lower crowds on rides and shows, some with holiday overlays and decor.
  • See Santa!

Tickets range from $139 – $199. Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members can save $10 per ticket.
Tickets are on sale now for guests of select hotels at the Walt Disney World Resort.
All other Guests may purchase tickets beginning on July 7, 2022.

Tickets are limited so certain days can sell out. If this is a must-do and you’re limited to certain days, you may want to buy your tickets ASAP.

We’ve been to this in the past and it was pretty fun. However, if you’re not going to the party, you may want to go to a different park on a party day since Magic Kingdom will close early to non-party guests.
