Hello and welcome to planDisney, Christina! I'm absolutely delighted to hear that you're about to embark on a magical journey to
Disney World during the most wonderful time of the year! I just know you're going to have an amazing time and create memories that will last a lifetime. And I'm here to help you navigate park hours and nighttime entertainment to make your trip even more special!
I can confirm that there won't be any special events like
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party or
Disney Jollywood Nights on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. So, the
park hours listed on the website are accurate and up to date. On Christmas Eve,
Magic Kingdom will be open from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with Early Entry for Disney Resort hotel Guests starting at 8:30 AM. And get ready for the fabulous Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks show at 8:00 PM. Over at
Disney's Hollywood Studios, the hours are the same—open from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM with Early Entry, plus my favorite show, Fantasmic!, will light up the night at 9:00 PM. The same schedule applies on Christmas Day, so you won't miss out on any of the magic!
Also, if you haven't experienced it yet,
Luminous: The Symphony of Us is a breathtaking show that you won't want to miss! It takes place at 9:30 PM on both nights, and EPCOT will also close at that time. If you're up for a late night, this is definitely a fantastic option to end your day!
I hope this helps with your planning, and I can't wait to hear more from you
if you have any questions as you get ready for your trip, Christina. It's always a joy to help wonderful friends like you!
Cheers,
Nilson
