Season's Greetings, Michelle! It sounds like you're planning a most magical land and sea holiday celebration! While any time of year is magical at the Walt Disney World Resort, there's just something extra special about planning a jolly holiday there during the Christmas season!
Michelle, if you booked your
Theme Park tickets as part of a
Disney vacation package after your cruise, your tickets will likely not be valid for use until the date of your check-in, so they will not be available for use before. To verify their valid dates, you can log into your
My Disney Experience mobile app, click the three horizontal lines at the bottom right, and then select
My Tickets & Passes. Once here, you will be able to see your Package Ticket with the valid date range listed.
If you do decide you'd like to visit a Theme Park before your voyage on
Disney Cruise Line, you can always purchase another Standard Theme Park Ticket for the date you would like to visit. I'd also recommend checking to see if
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party might be offered on the date you have in mind - this special event takes place on select nights at Magic Kingdom Park from 7 PM until midnight, but with your event ticket, you will be able to enter the park as early as 4 PM. This event combines the
magic of the holidays with the magic of Disney, featuring a special Christmas parade and fireworks spectacular, special holiday snacks, and even some rare character meet and greets to bring extra joy to your world!
Michelle, I know you are going to make the most magical memories on land and at sea this holiday season! If you have any other planning questions, come on back to
planDisney and let us know! For any questions specific to your Disney Cruise, be sure to connect with my panelist classmate and Disney Cruise Line expert,
JoVonn! She is always happy to help Guests capture the magic on the high seas!
Happy Holidays,
Alison
