Disney just dropped SO MUCH INFO on celebrating the holidays at Disney World!
We now know that Jollywood Nights — a special ticketed holiday party that debuted in 2023 in Hollywood Studios — is coming back, we know that EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays will run Nov. 29th through Dec. 30th, and we’re excited about some shows like the Frozen Holiday Surprise in Magic Kingdom and the Holiday Projection Show in Hollywood Studios will be returning. And, of course, there’s the granddaddy of them all — Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom. We’ve got the dates and some information on pricing for the Very Merry Christmas Party…and, well, ticket prices are going UP (surprised? yeah, we aren’t either.).
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a seasonal Magic Kingdom event requiring a separate ticket for entry. The party will be held on select nights from November 8th through December 20th. Once inside, guests enjoy plenty of festive fun only available at the Party!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party features special shows like Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration. Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade is another highlight of the party (complete with Santa Claus and the famous Marching Band of Toy Soldiers), as is the Holiday Fireworks spectacular: Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks!
As we mentioned, this party requires a special ticket. In 2023, those tickets ranged from $159 to $199 — depending on which night you chose to go. This year, those ticket prices have jumped up quite a bit! The 2024 ticket range for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is $169 to $219.
Here’s when you can expect each party night to be held in November and December!
- November 8th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 17th, 19th, 21st, 22nd, 24th, 26th, 27th, and 29th
- December 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 19th, and 20th
As you might expect, the party dates closest to Christmas, as well as weekend nights, will likely have the highest ticket prices. We don’t typically know the prices for each night until tickets go on sale.
As for when you’ll be able to purchase tickets, those will go on sale to guests of select Disney World hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin hotels, and Shades of Green starting on July 2nd, 2024. For anyone else looking to purchase tickets, you’ll be able to purchase yours starting on July 10th, 2024.
If you’re looking to purchase tickets for this year’s party, reach out to our friends at Small World Vacations so they can help you snag these tickets as early as possible before they start selling out!
