Big news for the holiday fans out there! You can start planning your holiday trip now, because Disney has finally released the dates for this year’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!
This annual party is one of the best ways to enjoy the holiday season in Magic Kingdom and experience some of your favorite rides with much lower waits. Not to mention, you get the chance to see exclusive entertainment, meet rare characters, and enjoy free cookies and hot chocolate/apple cider throughout the night. Here’s when you can expect to enjoy the party this time around!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party runs on select nights from November 8th to December 22nd, including:
- November 8, 9, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 24, 25, 27, 29

Tickets for this event ranged from $169 to $229 in 2025, and will range from $189 to $229 for 2026. Keep in mind, though, that Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members can typically save $10 per ticket to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party on select event nights. Party guests will be able to enter the park beginning at 4 PM, but the party itself won’t officially begin until 7 PM. You can start buying tickets on July 16th, but if you’re a resort guest, you can grab them on July 9th!
We expect to be able to experience offerings like:
- Complimentary Cookies and Cocoa at designated spots throughout Magic Kingdom

Yayyyyy!!! This is not a drill! What time do tickets go on sale July 9?
We come home on the 11th November so only have 8th and 9th to shoot for! Here’s a question will the 9th be easier to get tickets for as, I assume, YouTubers, influencers etc would all be going on the first night. Would that be right? Already biting my nails with nerves. Fingers crossed!!!
Hi Carl! The 9th would be a better option because we already know the 8th is going to be super crowded with everyone going on the first day.
