Hi Sandra!
Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade is definitely a highlight of
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, so of course you don't want to miss it! While I have not yet seen a schedule for this year's party, in 2018 the parade was performed twice during each party, at 8:30 and 11:00 pm.
There is quite a lot of other great holiday entertainment during the party as well, including "A Frozen Holiday Wish", when Cinderella Castle is turned into a glittering ice palace. Believe me when I say it is breathtakingly beautiful! And don't forget this year's new nighttime spectacular,
Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks. You'll also want to experience the
new holiday attraction enhancements, as well as special character greetings, complimentary holiday treats, and more!
With so many holiday happenings during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, my family doesn't want to miss a moment of all the fun. In the past, party guests have been permitted to enter
Magic Kingdom Park as early as 4:00 pm. We try to schedule our dinner early, between 4:30 and 5:30, so that when the party begins at 7:00, we are ready to enjoy every minute!
I hope that helps! Please visit the Moms Panel again if you have any other questions about
planning your Walt Disney World Resort vacation.
Enjoy your visit!
Anne Marie
