Hi Lauren!
Thanks for visiting planDisney!
There’s just something special about nighttime at the parks! As you’re planning, keep an eye on the
Hours & Events Calendar. That will tell you the times of each nighttime show and parade at the theme parks.
The calendar usually updates about two months in advance, so you’ll likely be able to see showtimes for your park dates sometime in September. Of course, showtimes are always subject to change, so I recommend rechecking those times as your trip gets closer, as well.
Something to think about as you plan your park nights in November is that Magic Kingdom will close at 6 PM for regular park guests whenever the park hosts
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. That means that, on those nights, the
Starlight parade and
Happily Ever After fireworks will not be shown since the party offers its own entertainment.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will take place on the following nights this November: 7, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 25, 26, 28, and 30.
Hollywood Studios will also close a bit early for regular park guests when hosting
Jollywood Nights, but I’m happy to report that you’d still be able to see
Fantasmic on those nights even if you don’t have a party ticket.
I hope that helps! Let us know if any other questions pop up as you continue to plan. And enjoy every second of being at Disney World during the holidays! It’s my favorite time of the year there!
