Tickets on Sale NOW for 2 Popular Disney World After Hours Events - But There's a Catch!

How did we get here already?! It’s time to start planning for the holidays at Disney World!

Disney recently made a ton of announcements about the holiday season including the return of the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom, and Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We’ve already learned a bit about what’s in store for these events (although we’re still waiting for full details), but tickets are now on sale to a certain group of Disney World fans!

Staying at a Disney World hotel on the same dates as these holiday events? You’ll be able to snag tickets starting July 2nd, 2024. You must have a hotel reservation for the date you want to go to either party, so keep that in mind.
