    We are planning to go to Disney World on Christmas Day. What is usually planned that day as I see the fireworks and parade are done on other days and tickets are already sold out?

    Welcome to planDisney, Chelsey! 

    It’s a magical time at Disney World on Christmas Day! The decorations, seasonal treats, festive Characters, and more make this one of my favorite times to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth! 

    Typically, on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Magic Kingdom has Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade happening a few times throughout the day! Minnie’s Wonderful Christmas Fireworks show is also a special offering on both of those evenings! These are especially magical events as they are usually only offered during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! (Tickets for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will not go on sale until later in the year. Check the Disney Parks Blog to watch for the announcement if you’re interested in attending! I will note, however, that this party has not happened on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day in past years.)

    EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays will also still be in full swing, Hollywood Studios will be merry and bright, and Animal Kingdom always has festive tricks up its sleeve (my favorite being the Merry Menagerie)! Each year’s holiday offerings will be slightly different, so I highly recommend following the Disney Parks Blog closely as they will have the most current information regarding 2025’s Christmas Day happenings! 

    Rest assured, Chelsey, your time at Disney World will be magical on Christmas Day! And with faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie dust, your vacation will be here before you know it! 

    If you have additional questions as you plan for your trip, we’d love to hear from you again at planDisney!
