We’ve got TONS of holiday news that we’ve been sharing with you including dates for the 2021 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, the return of the Cookie Stroll, a first look at the holiday merchandise, and SO. MUCH. MORE. One of the biggest announcements was that Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is being replaced by a brand new after hours event, and we’ve got a big update on it!

Disney Very Merriest After Hours will debut in the Magic Kingdom this year, and will include special holiday treats, fun character sightings, and Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks! Now, Disney has released dates and times for the after hours event, so you can start planning your holiday trip.

Disney Very Merriest After Hours will take place on select nights from November 8th to December 21st. Each night, the special event takes place from 9PM to 1AM. This gives you 4 hours to enjoy the event!

Disney Characters really know how to celebrate the holidays!

Since this is an after hours event, you will need to buy a separate ticket. With a ticket to the after hours event, you will be able to enter the Magic Kingdom starting at 7PM. This gives you a little bit of time before the after hours festivities begin! Tickets are set to go on sale next month, and we’ll let you know the exact date when it is announced.

Disney has not released pricing for the event yet, but if it’s anything like the new Halloween after hours event, it will be pretty pricey. As more Christmas and holiday news rolls out for the Disney Parks, we’ll be here to keep you in the loop. Stay tuned for more!
