Do you hear those sleigh bells in the distance? It sounds like they’re getting closer! We’ve got some holly jolly news for you, Disney fans — listen closely!

The fan-favorite holiday overlay of the popular Magic Kingdom attraction, Jungle Cruise, is coming back — and it’s going to be here sooner than you think!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is still going strong as Halloween approaches, but you can’t ignore that the most wonderful time of the year at Disney World is just around the corner. We’ve been getting lots of holiday news over the past couple of weeks, and now we know when the Christmas version of the Jungle Cruise opens in Magic Kingdom.

The Jingle Cruise is a festive version of the Jungle Cruise that comes out exclusively during the holiday season. It’s essentially the same ride, but decked out in holiday decorations, giving the attraction a festive look. The Jingle Cruise will officially take visitors on a holiday expedition starting on November 3rd!

It’s wild to think the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will be back on November 7th! The after-hours event is held at Magic Kingdom on select nights from November 7th through December 21st, 2025. It’s going to feature festive theming, exclusive treats, fun entertainment like a party parade and fireworks show, special character meet-and-greets (INCLUDING SANTA!), low ride wait times, and so much more.

We know Halloween hasn’t hit quite yet, but we can’t help but get excited for the Christmas season at the Magic Kingdom. As we approach November (crazy, right?!), we’re sure there will be more holiday news dropping. Make sure to stay tuned to AllEars for more.
