    We will be there for Thanksgiving until Dec 2nd; I have tickets for the Very Merry Christmas party and am trying to make reservations for Christmas Dinner but do not want to miss the parade. What time is the Very Merry Christmas Parade?

    Hi, there!

     Welcome to planDisney, Barry. I'm so glad you stopped by! It sounds like you're planning a fa-la-la-la-fabulous holiday visit to the Walt Disney World Resort. How wonderful!

     The Walt Disney World Resort is always magical, but exceptionally so during Christmastime. There are holiday happenings in all four theme parks and Disney Springs, but my favorite offering is Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party! With complimentary cookies and festive drinks (the eggnog - yum!), exclusive entertainment, unique Character Greetings, short wait times for popular attractions, and soft snow falling on Main Street, U.S.A., this special event is very merry, indeed! You ask an excellent question about Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade. There are two showtimes for the parade this year; 8:30 PM and 11:00 PM. If you are hoping to schedule a dinner at one of the table-service restaurants open during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, I recommend booking the earliest reservation available. That way, you won't miss much of the party!

     I hope you have plans to visit the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. This celebration, included with your admission to EPCOT, features The Candlelight Processional. This classic retelling of the Christmas story with a massed choir and 50-piece orchestra is not to be missed!

     I hope this was helpful, Barry. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! We'd love to help you plan a magical stay.
