Hiya Laurie - welcome to
planDisney!
Thanks so much for stopping by with your question for our team of panelists. We're glad you're here and I'm happy to help answer your question! This year's holiday season is going to be unforgettable - the
Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration will still be going strong, and we all know how
magical the Theme Parks and Resorts are around the holidays. I can't wait!
First, as a registered Guest of a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you'll already be at an advantage for getting extra time in the Theme Parks. Currently, registered guests are eligible for
Early Theme Park Entry at all four parks every day! These offerings might change by the time December rolls around, but my hope is that they stick around forever.
Disney After Hours events and parties are usually offered every year. There's Boo Bash and Very Merriest After Hours, Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, and more! We haven't seen any announcements about the events for this upcoming 2022 holiday season, but gosh, we certainly should be hEARing something within the next couple of months or so. Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog - that's usually the first place these events are announced, and you'll usually get all the info you need, including on-sale dates for tickets. Sometimes you'll even get a direct email about the events when you already have a Resort reservation during the time the events are being offered!
Remember, although the After Hours and Party excitement typically starts
after the park closes to regular Guests, you can usually enter the park earlier in the evening to soak up more of that holiday magic!
I know this isn't the firm answer you were hoping for, but know that you're not alone - I want to know the dates too!
Please let me know if any other questions pop up that we can help with.
