Tickets on Sale NOW for 2 Popular Disney World After Hours Events — But There’s a Catch!

How did we get here already?! It’s time to start planning for the holidays at Disney World!

Disney recently made a ton of announcements about the holiday season including the return of the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom, and Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We’ve already learned a bit about what’s in store for these events (although we’re still waiting for full details), but tickets are now on sale to a certain group of Disney World fans!

Staying at a Disney World hotel on the same dates as these holiday events? You’ll be able to snag tickets starting July 2nd, 2024. You must have a hotel reservation for the date you want to go to either party, so keep that in mind.

Here are the dates for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in 2024. Prices range from $169 to $219 per ticket, which is an increase from 2023.

• November: 8th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 17th, 19th, 21st, 22nd, 24th, 26th, 27th, 29th
• December: 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 19th, 20th

These are the 2024 Jollywood Nights dates. Ticket prices range from $159 to $179 depending on the date.

• November 9th, 13th, 16th, 18th, 23rd, 25th, and 30th
• December 2nd, 7th, 11th, 14th, 18th, and 21st

Ticket sales don’t open to the general public until July 10th, so you have a few days to decide if/when you buy tickets!

Can’t decide which party is for you? Luckily, we compared the two so you can see which one aligns with your priorities more. Both parties offer exclusive food and entertainment, rare characters, and low wait times for rides due to the limited capacity at the event.

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party vs. Jollywood Nights: Which One Is Worth Your Money in Disney World?

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is the fan-favorite event that’s been around for years. You’ll get to experience holiday ride overlays, Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmastime Parade, Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show, complimentary cookies and hot cocoa, and so much more.

Jollywood Nights debuted in 2023, and to be honest, it had a rocky start. Certain aspects of it were loved by partygoers, while others had criticisms. You can read all about the reviews of Jollywood Nights right here!
