Disney World Guests Snap up Limited-Time Magic Kingdom Park Access

Another night of holiday magic has vanished from the calendar at Walt Disney World Resort.

Sunday, December 6, is the latest date of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party to sell out at Magic Kingdom. That leaves just seven nights with tickets still available as the 2026 holiday season gathers pace. Disney has made clear that availability is limited for each date, so the window for guests hoping to attend the park’s seasonal Christmas celebration is narrowing quickly.

Remaining Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Dates

At the time of publication, just these seven dates are remaining for the limited-time event:

  • November 29
  • December 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, and 17

November 29 carries particular weight. It is the final remaining November date, and it is the last opportunity for eligible Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members to claim a $10 discount on party admission. The remaining December dates do not offer those savings.

Ticket prices vary by night. Across the full season, 2026 admission has ranged from $189 to $229, plus tax. The dates still on sale sit at the upper end of that range, with adult tickets for guests aged 10 and older costing between $214 and $229, plus tax. Children aged 3 to 9 receive a $10 discount. Before purchasing, guests should check the official Walt Disney World event page for current availability and pricing.

What Is Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party?

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party returns to Magic Kingdom on select nights from November 8 through December 22, 2026. Admission is sold separately from standard theme park tickets. The event runs from 7 p.m. until midnight, but guests with valid party tickets can enter the park from 4 p.m., which gives them extra time to enjoy the attractions before the festivities begin.

Once the party gets underway, the park settles into full holiday mode. In Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Santa Claus, and other familiar Disney characters bring seasonal cheer through the park. Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show closes out the evening with a festive display. Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration also returns as the event’s stage show.

Beyond the headline entertainment, partygoers can enjoy complimentary cookies and hot cocoa at designated locations, holiday character greetings throughout the park, and access to select attractions. Together, they make for an evening designed to feel distinctly different from a regular day at Magic Kingdom.

With December 6 now gone, only seven dates remained available at the time of the report. For Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members, November 29 is the final chance to secure the $10 membership discount.

Guests planning a Disney World Christmas vacation should confirm party availability before locking in travel arrangements. Disney has cautioned that tickets may sell out before the event takes place, and given the recent pace of sellouts, the remaining nights may not stay available for long.

When he’s not thinking about the Magic Kingdom, Thomas is usually reading a book, becoming desperately obsessed with fictional characters, or baking something delicious (his favorite is chocolate cake -- to bake and to eat). He's a dreamer and grew up on Mulan saving the world, Jim Hawkins soaring through the stars, and Padmé Amidala fighting a Nexu. At the Parks, he loves to ride Everest, stroll down Main Street with an overstuffed pin lanyard around his neck, and eat as many Mickey-shaped ice creams as possible. His favorite character is Han Solo (yes, he did shoot first), and his… More »
