I Use This Risky Parade Cheat Every December in Magic Kingdom, and I’m Finally Sharing My Secret

There’s just something about a Disney parade that makes the heart SWELL with joy, right?

Holidays in Disney World

Like, every time we see Festival of Fantasy, we legit will have a smile on our face the rest of the day — it’s just so magical! We also ADORE the Boo To You parade that you can only see if you have a ticket to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. However, our favorite might be Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmas Parade that is exclusive to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. However, we’ve got a cheat with THAT holiday parade and we’re going to share it with you.

So believe it or not, there IS a way to see Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmas Parade in Magic Kingdom WITHOUT a ticket to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Usually during the week leading up to Christmas, Magic Kingdom will actually put on this parade during the day for all Magic Kingdom visitors. So if you’re visiting during Christmas week, you can likely see the parade without a party ticket.

You might also get a chance to see Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show, the exclusive fireworks show that happens during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. This fireworks show can also often be seen by general Magic Kingdom visitors during the week of Christmas.

We do have to let you know that this has NOT yet been confirmed for this year, but if these offerings are available outside of the party, you’ll see showtimes in the My Disney Experience app. We’ll be keeping an eye out for showtimes, too, and let you know for sure!
