Merry Christmas, Ellen! It’s never too soon to begin planning for the most wonderful time of the year. Especially when you’ll be spending some of that time at the Walt Disney World Resort!
I can understand why
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is at the top of your wish list! With “snow” falling on Main Street, U.S.A., Christmas-themed fireworks, Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, characters dressed in their holiday finest, and special perks for ticketholders, this is the premiere party of the season!
While Mickey isn’t quite ready to announce the dates for the Christmas party, we can speculate based on timelines from recent years. In 2025, the parties were held on select nights from November 7 through December 21. And, in 2024, the parties were held on select nights from November 8 to December 22. So, my best guess is that the parties will be held during a similar timeframe in 2026.
Here is a PRO TIP for you! Guests with existing Walt Disney World Resort reservations traditionally get early access to ticket sales for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. For example, last year, Christmas party tickets were available for Guests with existing reservations beginning on July 16. Guests without existing reservations had to wait until July 22 to purchase their tickets.
Check the Walt Disney World Resort website and the
Disney Parks Blog this spring for more information about ticket sales and party dates!
Dreams do come true!
