One of the most memorable events during the holiday season, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, is returning very soon for the first time since 2019. With this staple Magic Kingdom after-hours party paused during the pandemic, there is certainly pent-up demand for the event and tickets are selling quickly.

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party comes with the ultimate line-up of uniquely Disney holiday experiences like Minnies Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks show above Cinderella Castle and Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, along with hot cocoa and cookies available around the Disney Park, festive photo ops, the Mickeys Most Merriest Celebration stage show, Club Tinsel dance party, A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas, an appearance by Santa Claus, himself, exclusive snacks, merchandise, and more.

Given the success of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year, which also returned to Magic Kingdom Park for the first time since 2019, we are expecting Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party to sell out in advance of all remaining dates. As of this writing on October 31, 2022, 14 dates still have availability, while 10 dates have already sold out.

The first three nights of the party are already sold out, so while the event kicks off on November 8, 2022, tickets are now unavailable until November 14. December 22, the date closest to Christmas itself, is also sold out. (Note: if you are visiting Walt Disney World during Christmas week, select holiday experiences like Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, the Jingle Cruise overlay of the Jungle Cruise, and more, will run during regular daytime hours in the Magic Kingdom.)
