Hi Kimberly!
Thanks for bringing this question to planDisney! The holiday season is my absolute favorite time to visit the parks, and I’m so excited that you get to enjoy all of the holiday fun this year!
Let’s start with Jollywood Nights! With your ticket to that party, you’ll be able to enter Hollywood Studios as early as 5:30 PM. Fantasmic will be shown at 6:30 PM (subject to change). Then, the party will start at 7:30 PM and go until 12:30 AM.
During the party, there will be all sorts of entertainment, and the Disney Parks Blog put together a great
Jollywood Nights guide that reviews the highlights.
You can also find the showtimes on the
Jollywood Nights page of Disney World’s website. Under the Event-Exclusive Entertainment section, just click the Read More button under each offering.
Now, let’s move on to
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. With this party ticket, you’ll be able to enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4 PM, and then the party will go from 7 PM to 12 AM. While I’m not seeing the specific event times listed on Disney World’s website yet, the
Hours & Events Calendar is showing that we can expect Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show at 10 PM.
During last year’s party, there were two showings of Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade: one at 8:30 PM and one at 11 PM. Plus, there were 4 showings of Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration between the times of 7:40 PM and 11:55 PM. So, that gives us an idea of what the timing may look like this year.
Although the times aren’t listed on the Disney Parks Blog at the time of writing this, it’s still worth taking a look at the
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party guide that they put together to read about all the fun offerings this year!
It’s good to note that once the parties begin for the season, there is often a party guide on the
My Disney Experience app. If it’s not on the homepage, try using the search feature. I don’t see one for 2025 yet, but you can search for the Halloween Party guide if you want to get an idea of what the holiday party guides may look like.
Finally, when it comes to
dining reservations, I highly recommend eating dinner before the official start time of each of the parties. Then, save party time for all of the exclusive treats!
I hope that gives you some guidance as you plan! Let us know if you have any other questions. We’re always happy to help!
