    When will Mickeys holiday party dates be announced? We are trying to plan our trip for December.

    Greetings, Travis! Or, should I say Seasons Greetings instead? Welcome to planDisney! It's never too soon to start planning your trip to Walt Disney World during the holiday season, and I'm so glad you found us to ask us your question. 

    Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and Disney Jollywood Nights are two extra ticketed events that are typically held on select nights in November and December at Magic Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studios, respectively. While details haven't been announced yet for this year's parties, I do recall that last year tickets went on sale in July. If this year follows that same pattern, we're still a couple of months out from info. I recommend keeping your eyes and ears on the Disney Parks Blog and Disney Parks social media because that's usually where news breaks first. 

    Because you're planning your trip in December, EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays will also be in full swing and is included in your EPCOT admission. My favorite part of this festival is the Candlelight Processional held a few times nightly at America Gardens Theater. I highly recommend the Candlelight Processional Dining Package for guaranteed seating. The last time I went, I reserved my dining package at Le Cellier Steakhouse, which made the afternoon and evening feel extra festive. 

    Travis, I hope you're able to secure your tickets soon and that you have a very merry good time during your holiday trip. Please visit us again with any other planning questions. 

    Let your dreams guide you!
