Merry Christmas, Rachel! I’m so glad that you came to planDisney with your question! I think I’ve got a great answer for you!
While Mickey and Minnie haven’t announced plans for the 2024 Christmas party season yet, we can look to the past for some possible (and likely) future plans! So, for this answer consider me the “Ghost of Christmas Past” with an eye to Christmas future!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a separate-ticketed event that takes place in Magic Kingdom Park from the beginning of November (usually around November 8-ish) through late December (usually ending on December 22). Those are the dates for which Guests purchase separate tickets to attend the special party from 7:00 PM to midnight.
Then, on December 23, something kind of magical happens! Some of the entertainment from the Christmas party shifts to the daytime hours for day Guests to enjoy with their regular Magic Kingdom Park admission ticket! This includes things such as Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration stage show, and Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks! These events usually take place from December 23 through December 31.
Rachel, keep in mind that my answer is based on events from the past few years. We’ll have to wait to hear what Mickey, Minnie, and Santa have planned for this year! Keep your eyes on the
Disney Parks Blog and
Walt Disney World Resort website for information!
Dreams do come true!
