Hi Amanda,
Welcome back to planDisney and thank you for your question!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is such a fun event, so happy to hear that you’ll be able to experience it with your guests!
At this time, we don’t have the specifics on the start time, but I can share a bit about my past experience. When I’ve gone to the Party, there have been two parade times one in the early evening (closer to 8:00 or 9:00 p.m.) and a later one closer to 11:00 p.m., of course it could be different this year, but it’s a good estimate.
One of the cool things about having a ticket to the Party is that you can enter
Magic Kingdom Park as
early as 4:00 p.m. the night of the Party. So, you have a few options! You could either book an early dining reservation around the Magic Kingdom Resorts or you could book one between 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. in Magic Kingdom. You know your party so do what’s best for them!
If you’re planning to go to the Park once it’s open to Party guests, I suggest having a Resort day or shopping day in the hours leading up to the Party. This way you’re refreshed and ready to enjoy the night’s festivities! Make sure to stay connected to
Disney Parks Blog as well as you get closer to the Party so you can be in the know about all that will be happening.
I hope this “Bit By Bryanna” is helpful as you prepare for a fun and festive celebration later this year. If you have any other planning or vacation questions,
please feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help!
The Magic Is Calling,
Bryanna
