Mark Your Calendars: Dates and Tickets!

Ready to plan your holiday getaway? The 2025 party will run on select nights from Friday, November 7, through Sunday, December 21. And here’s a tip to get a head start: while the party officially kicks off at 7:00 p.m., your special ticket lets you enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 p.m. That’s three extra hours to soak up the magic before the main event!

For tickets, get your speed-dial finger ready. Guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels, and Shades of Green can snag their tickets starting July 16. Everyone else can jump in and purchase tickets starting July 22. Don’t forget, if you’re an Annual Passholder or a Disney Vacation Club Member, you’ll want to check out the special discounted prices! You can grab tickets online or by calling the Disney Reservation Center.

Character Greetings and Seasonal Shows Galore!

You’ll find your favorite Disney pals all decked out in their holiday finest! Exclusive character meet-and-greet opportunities are everywhere. Want to see Anna and Elsa in their Christmas attire? Head over to Princess Fairytale Hall. You can also find Sally and Santa Jack, along with Mickey and Minnie Mouse in their holiday looks, at the Town Square Theater. Plus, make sure to visit Santa’s Christmas Carnival in Storybook Circus to meet the man in the red suit himself! It’s a perfect stop for little ones, complete with crafts and other festive friends.

The stage shows and parades are where the party truly sparkles. You absolutely can’t miss Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas Parade. It’s a mesmerizing spectacle featuring dancing gingerbread men, toy soldiers, and, of course, a grand finale appearance by Santa Claus! On the Cinderella Castle stage, Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration is an energetic performance with characters like Clarabelle Cow and Woody getting everyone tapping their feet to a medley of joyful tunes.

Fireworks, Snow, and Dance Parties!

Hold onto your festive hats for the nighttime spectaculars! The Frozen Holiday Surprise sees Elsa, Anna, Olaf, and Kristoff transform Cinderella Castle into a glittering, frozen wonderland. After that, get ready for Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks. Hosted by Minnie Mouse, this stunning show lights up the sky with dazzling pyrotechnics, castle projections, and holiday music like “Deck the Halls.” For an extra-sweet experience, you can book the separately priced Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Dessert Party at Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant for amazing treats and incredible views.

And if you want to shake off some of those sweet treats, there are dance parties all over the park! Show off your moves at Club Tinsel in Tomorrowland or bring the little ones to the Disney Junior Jingle Jam at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café.

Holiday Overlays on Classic Rides!

What’s a party without exclusive ride fun? Several classic attractions get a holiday-themed makeover!
