Hi David,
Welcome to planDisney!
Having had to change plans myself, I understand your dilemma. I contacted a cast member tonight to double-check. For this kind of ticketing question, they suggested that you
call to speak with a cast member in Website Support and, once connected, explain your situation and ask to speak to a cast member with the Ticketing Help Desk.
Of course, I love
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party so, in the spirit of Princess Tiana, I am sending a wish to the Evening Star hoping that you will be able to go! I am also a person who believes in traveling in the moment because life is short. So, if you can visit in May and December, keep that after hours ticket! Check the
Special Offers with
Disney Resorts Collection hotels to take advantage of any special deals that might be available at the times you plan to visit.
In the meantime, also keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog so that you know the dates of next year's Christmas party as soon as those are released. I must also add that the
Holidays at Walt Disney World Resort are my absolute favorite. We adore the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays presented by AdventHealth and the
Candlelight Processional!
David, make that phone call as soon as possible! Consider two shorter visits, one in May and one in December. Most of all, keep up the
practically perfect planning!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
