Shortly before Disney World’s phased reopenings began on July 11th, Disney announced that they would be cancelling Mickey’s-Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
As for their winter seasonal offerings, Disney World hadn’t quite reached a decision — until today. Disney has just officially announced Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will not take place in 2020.
When Disney World canceled its Halloween festivities, they stated that they would continue to closely monitor the ever-changing environment to determine whether or not special events, parties, and festivals could take place as scheduled when the time came. And now, Disney has officially decided to cancel 2020 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
Main Street at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a special, ticketed holiday event that typically takes place on select evenings at Magic Kingdom starting in November and running through December.

The official statement Disney released today states that “holiday experiences that draw big crowds will be on hiatus this year…such as Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Candlelight Processional at EPCOT.”
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party typically includes special character meet and greets, Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration Show, Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks, and the Once Upon a Christmastime Parade. Since Disney World has put a hold on character meet and greets, nighttime spectaculars, and parades for the initial phase of their reopening, it’s not very surprising the celebration has been canceled this year, but we’ll have plenty of time to look forward to its return in 2021!

We were going down but I guess not this year….
We’ve got reservations for 12/16-12/23. I kinda’ want to know what IS going to be there this year, vs. what’s not at this point. I may lose a few points (DVC), but I don’t want to spend $1,000’s on top of the room if they take EVERYTHING away. So hard to know what to do. Low crowds are a huge plus. :/
What a sad day. I remember going for the first 6 or seven years when each ticket holder got a picture and there was sugar cookies and hot chocolate everywhere… and snow on main street. What a great memory… it will be missed
To be expected, and not surprised. Definitely sad 🥺
We were looking forward to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. It was a good time for all last year. Maybe in 2021, high hopes we will be there.
Don’t hold your breath for 2021 either. The parks will be empty for the entire holiday season. Sad sad 😞
Any word that the hours might get extended due to all the Christmas lights, etc? Or extra magic hours?
Donna, so far no changes in hours.
