Hi Laura!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel. It sounds like you are planning a trip to visit Mickey and friends during the holiday season! I think you will find that
Walt Disney World Resort during the holidays is truly a magical place to be. I love to enjoy the special holiday entertainment, the beautiful decorations and the tasty treats that are available in the theme parks, Disney Resort hotels and Disney Springs!
On select evenings this fall, Magic Kingdom will close at 6:00 p.m. so it can host
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, which begins at 7:00 p.m. At 6:00 p.m., Guests with standard theme park tickets will no longer be able to enjoy the attractions, entertainment and dining experiences in Magic Kingdom unless they have tickets to that evening's party. Since guests must have valid theme park admission to enjoy dining reservations at restaurants inside of the Walt Disney World theme parks, if you have a
dining reservation at Cinderella's Royal Table during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, then you must have a ticket to that evening's party in order to enjoy your dining reservation.
Let us know if you have additional questions as you continue planning! T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
