    I’m going to Disneyland (Anaheim,ca)on Saturday dec.13,2025. I do not have ticket for Mickey’s very merry party . Will I have to depart park at an earlier time or able to stay at park til regular closing time and enjoy my whole day there ?

    Welcome, Angie!

    We're so happy you stopped by planDisney with your question. It looks like you are getting ready for a holly jolly day at the Disneyland Resort next weekend! It's smart to do a little advanced planning, especially when it comes to Park Hours, so that you have a sense of how much time you will have to spend in the magic. Let's take a look together! 

    I have some good news for you! While there are many similarities between Disneyland and Walt Disney World, they have different holiday offerings, and only Walt Disney World hosts Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. Disneyland does not offer this special-ticketed event, so the park will not be closing early to regular park Guests on December 13th! Currently, Disneyland Park's hours for that day are 8:00 AM until midnight, which makes for quite the pixie-dusted day. Park hours are subject to change, but you always have access to them right at your fingertips, so you can stay up to date. When you open up the Disneyland App, tap the three-line icon in the bottom right-hand corner and scroll down to "Park Hours & Info" for the latest information. 

    While you are mapping out your park day, I highly recommend taking a look at the Entertainment Schedule to make note of any parades, live music, and nighttime spectaculars that are on your must-see list. With the holidays in full swing, there are many limited-time, seasonal offerings from A Christmas Fantasy Parade to Holiday Fun with Santa & Friends to the "Believe...in Holiday Magic" fireworks Spectacular! These are just a few that make my annual must-do list, not to mention the many festive treats available. I like to check out the Disney Parks Foodie Guide and earmark my favorites so I remember to look for them as we make our way through the parks. I can't wait to try the Peppermint Holiday Sundae from Gibson Girl!

    Angie, I hope this has been helpful! If you have any more questions, send them our way! We love chatting about all things Disneyland, especially during such a festive time of year. 

    Magic awaits!
