If you’re not heading to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party this year, not to worry — there are still lots of ways you can celebrate the holidays inside Magic Kingdom during normal hours!
There are all the decorations to check out, holiday merchandise to shop, special snacks to try, and as a reminder, we know when guests can see the iconic Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks, even if they don’t have a party ticket!
This is your reminder that guests without party tickets CAN see Minnie’s Wonderful Christmas Time fireworks on select days closer to Christmas! The days and times available to all guests are as follows:
- December 22nd at 8:30 PM
- December 23rd at 8:30 PM
- December 24th at 8:30 PM
- December 25th at 8:30 PM
- December 26th at 8:30 PM
- December 27th at 8:30 PM
- December 28th at 8:30 PM
- December 29th at 8:30 PM
The Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks show will return to Magic Kingdom for the new year on December 3oth and December 31st, and the Happily Ever After returns beginning on January 1st. It’s also important to note that Festival of Fantasy isn’t showing for guests beginning on December 21st, but it’s possibly because Disney will be showing Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade. However, that’s not confirmed, and times are not showing if that is the case.
