Hi Walter!
Thanks for your question. There's nothing better than being at Walt Disney World during the holidays. I absolutely LOVE seeing the Parks and Resorts all dressed up in their
holiday finery. Waking up Christmas morning to that sounds absolutely incredible. You're going to have so much fun!
You are absolutely right--
Park Admission Tickets are valid at
Magic Kingdom until 7:00 on the nights when
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is held. At that point, only those who purchased the Special Event Ticket (for the party) will be able to stay in the Park. Take a look online at the
Park Hours page, though, as there are other Parks open on those evenings that you could enjoy. One way or another, there are oodles of fantastic holiday experiences just waiting for you as you celebrate.
Here's wishing you a wonderful visit and a very happy holiday season. Have a magical day!
