Cue the snow on Main Street, hot cocoa cravings, and jingle bells in the air. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is officially returning to Magic Kingdom for 2025!

Disney has announced the official dates for the party, and we are so excited that we had to shout it from the rooftops. Let’s check it out!
From 7 PM to 12 AM during select nights at Magic Kingdom, this specialty ticketed event comes to life with holly jolly cheer. You’ll be treated to holiday-themed ride overlays, character meet-and-greets in their holiday best, and live entertainment you won’t find during regular park hours.
As a reminder, you can begin your holiday cheer early on party nights! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party visitors can enter the park as early as 4 PM to enjoy the park a little longer. Even though the party officially starts at 7 PM, partygoers will have the option to arrive three hours earlier to kickstart their time in Magic Kingdom.

These are the dates for 2025’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party:
- November 7th, 10th, 11th, 13th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 21st, 25th, 26th, 28th, and 30th
- December 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 19th, and 21st

Here’s a peek at the merry-making you can expect during the event:
- Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade: Complete with toy soldiers, gingerbread men, Disney characters, and Santa himself marching down Main Street, U.S.A. under a magical “snowfall.”
- Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks: A dazzling show lighting up the night with festive colors and classic holiday music, all choreographed to create serious goosebumps.
- Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration: A stage show at Cinderella Castle where Mickey, Minnie, and their pals throw the ultimate Christmas party with singing, dancing, and sparkling costumes.
- Complimentary Treats: Stop by designated locations around the park for free cookies, cocoa, and other sweet seasonal surprises.
- Rare Character Sightings: The chance to take selfies with characters in their holiday best!
- Low Wait Times: Most major rides are open during the event, and since attendance is limited, you’ll often find much shorter lines. Yes, that includes Space Mountain and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train!
