Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

Believe it or not, the holiday season is right around the corner. Disney has already announced plans for the 2024 holidays. To see all of the details and dates for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, read this post HERE.

Many returning favorites like Minnie’s Wonderful Christmas Fireworks and Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade are returning! Stage shows and dance parties will also take place.

Select attractions will have overlays again this year, and be sure to grab those free treats around the park!

Mickeys Once Upon a Christmastime Parade

One of the best parts of the holiday party is Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade. During Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (MVMCP), dozens of characters and performers hit the parade route of Magic Kingdom for some magical Christmas fun.

Gingerbread Men, Toy Soldiers, and beloved Disney characters float by against the backdrop of festive music and “snoap”. The 25-minute parade is only presented on select nights in November and December.

The parade is one of the exclusive offerings available at the holiday party.

If you are heading to Walt Disney World soon, we have exciting news for you! According to the Disney World calendar, there are no times for the Festival of Fantasy parade on November 9 and 10.

The Festival of Fantasy Parade will be replaced by daytime performances of Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade.

The time change is most likely due to holiday filming taking place at the Magic Kingdom. Holiday filming typically takes place in early November. This is a fun treat for guests in the park on those days.
