Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2026: Dates, Sold-Out Nights and Tickets

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is Disney World's big holiday ticket, and most 2026 nights are already gone. Here's what's left, what you get and what to do if your night is sold out.

2026 dates

The party runs on 25 select nights at Magic Kingdom:

• November: 8, 9, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 24, 25, 27, 29
• December: 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18, 20, 22

Hours: 7 PM to midnight. Your ticket gets you into Magic Kingdom as early as 4 PM that day, with no separate park ticket needed.

Which nights are sold out?

As of October 30, TouringPlans lists these nights as sold out:

• November: 8, 9, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 24, 25, 27
• December: 1, 3, 18, 20, 22

That leaves November 29 and December 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15 and 17. They've been selling out quickly, so check Disney's ticket page today if you want one.

How much are tickets?

• $189 to $229 per ticket, plus tax, depending on the night.
• Ages 3 to 9 save $10 per ticket.
• Annual Passholders and DVC members save $10 on select nights.

Buy from Disney if you can. You'll see the ticket on resale sites too, and the one we checked on Viator is all sales final. That's why we don't sell or link it.

What you get

• Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, with Santa at the end.
• Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks.
• Castle shows, including Mickey's Most Merriest Celebration and the Frozen Holiday Surprise.
• Holiday characters you won't see the rest of the year, along with Santa.
• Holiday versions of rides, including Space Mountain and Jungle Cruise.
• Cookies and festive drinks, included in your ticket.
• Dance parties around the park.

Is it worth it?

It's worth it if you love Disney at Christmas and you're happy to stay up late. It's a harder sell with little kids who are asleep by 9 PM. A few things to weigh:

• Most of Magic Kingdom's holiday decorations are there on normal days too.
• Rides still run, with a smaller crowd than a regular busy day.
• Disney has often brought much of the party's entertainment to regular hours the week of Christmas, when the parks are at their fullest.

If your night is sold out

• EPCOT's Festival of the Holidays, November 27 to December 30, comes with EPCOT admission.
• Holidays at Universal, with Grinchmas and the holiday parade, come with a park ticket.
• ICE! at Gaylord Palms is a few minutes from Disney.
• Free snow in Celebration falls nightly from late November.
• A private fireworks helicopter tour is a much bigger splurge, but you see the holiday fireworks from above.

A break from the parks

Party nights are late, so plan an easy next morning. Try a Boggy Creek airboat tour or bottle-feed a baby highland calf at Mini Moo Land, both 10% off through us. (I'm Boggy Creek's marketing manager.)
