    When will the schedule be out for the Christmas party?

    Happy Holidays, Teresa! It’s a great time to talk about visiting the Most Magical Place on Earth during the most wonderful time of the year!

    As you may have heard, information was recently released about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! That can only mean that details about Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will be released soon! While there are no official details about sale dates for the 2023 festivities, we can look to the past to predict the future!

    Last year, tickets for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party were released on June 30 for Guests with reservations at a hotel in the Disney Resorts Collection. Guests not staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel were able to begin purchasing party tickets on July 7. I anticipate a similar (or close) release date for this year. 

    As far as a prediction about the 2023 schedule, again, I’ll use the past as a guide. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party usually kicks off about one week after Halloween. The first Christmas Party of 2022 was on November 8. The final party date was held on December 22. Again, a similar schedule is likely to occur for 2023. 

    For some additional perspective, let’s also look at ticket sales for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. In 2022, tickets for that event went on sale to Walt Disney World Resort hotel Guests on May 12 and for all other Guests on May 18. This year, tickets will go on sale a bit earlier for Walt Disney World Resort Guests on April 27 and for all other Guests on May 2. So, it’s possible that tickets for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party could also go on sale a bit earlier than last year.

    Teresa, it sounds like you’re as excited for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party as a kid (or kid at heart) on Christmas Eve! Keep checking the Walt Disney World Resort website as well as the Disney Parks Blog for the most up-to-date news regarding the holiday season!

    Happy Planning!
