It’s the holiday season in Disney World and the festive happenings are in full swing!

Crowds in Magic Kingdom

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party has officially kicked off in Magic Kingdom and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays is right around the corner. But did you know you can see entertainment from Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party without a ticket to the event? That’s right — you can watch the special parade during the day soon!

From now until December 22nd, Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade is running exclusively during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. But that all changes on December 23rd!

If you are in Magic Kingdom during the day from December 23rd-31st, you’ll have two chances to catch the Christmas parade — it will run at 12PM and 3PM each day.

On January 1st, the parade looks to be officially retired for the year.

These Christmas parade times will replace the Festival of Fantasy Parade that usually runs twice a day in Magic Kingdom. Festival of Fantasy will likely return on January 1st, but there are no times listed for the parade in January yet.

  1. We are from the UK and couldn’t justify the Mickeys Merry Christmas party on top of the tickets. I’m so happy that we will be there on the 23rd Dec so get a little extra magic for free.
