Get ready to jingle all the way to Main Street U.S.A!
With the holidays on the horizon, Walt Disney World has already begun getting into the festive spirit. A fan-favorite seasonal event is returning to Magic Kingdom and we have the latest one of the event’s special holiday experiences!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is BACK! The holiday celebration will be held on 25 select nights from November 9th through December 22nd and features unique shows, holiday dance parties, and a fireworks spectacular. Some rides — including Space Mountain and Jungle Cruise — will have holiday overlays! Guests will get to meet some of their favorite Disney characters in their best holiday attire while experiencing a simulated snowfall. With all that said, we’re here to show you a first look at one of our favorite aspects of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party — the parade!
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade boasts an impressive roster of iconic Disney characters, including the main mouse himself, Mickey!
We also caught a few glimpses of our pals from Frozen such as Olaf and Elsa!
Goofy is definitely getting a workout this year as he pedals a giant candy machine!
Check out these dancing gingerbread men! Mixing it up with other classic Disney characters and these decorative dancers really elevate the festive themes.
At last! The Disney Princesses! Adorned in their holiday best, this parade wouldn’t have been complete without these lovely ladies.
This holiday parade wouldn’t be complete without the Nutcracker Soldiers!
And of course, finishing the Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade is the icon of Christmas festivities, the one and only Santa Claus! Check out that sleigh!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party requires a separate ticket for entry and can be purchased on the Walt Disney World website and My Disney Experience App. Tickets start at $159 per adult and run up to $199 per. Children ages 3-9 can receive discounted tickets that are about $10 less. The Party begins at 7 p.m. but guests can enter Magic Kingdom at 4 p.m. Complimentary cookies and drinks are offered at designated spots.
