Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Carolyn. I'm so happy you stopped by and even happier to hear you're planning a visit to the Walt Disney World Resort this holiday season! The theme parks are always magical, but especially so during Christmastime. Yay!
It sounds like you'll be enjoying
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party during your stay. How very merry, indeed! With complimentary festive treats, exclusive yuletide entertainment, and unique and delightful Character Greetings, this ticketed event is always fa-la-la-la-fabulous. Purchasing a ticket for
Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Dessert Party with Plaza Garden Viewing is sure to add some holiday cheer to your merry and bright evening at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. To answer your question, your ticket for Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Dessert Party guarantees a reserved seating area for
Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks. The dessert party begins at 8:30 PM, so you should be able to see the
Once Upon a Christmastime Parade from the party too. Your view of Characters and dancers on the street will likely be quite obstructed from the dessert party, but you'll have no trouble seeing the parade floats. Fortunately, there is a second showing of the Once Upon a Christmastime Parade at 11:00 PM, so you can catch that performance along the parade route later in the evening. The second performance is usually the least crowded, so that's the one I always recommend!
