The holiday season will be here before we know it!

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is currently happening in Magic Kingdom through October 31st, but after that, the holiday season will EXPLODE into Disney World! Many Disney World fans wish it would wait a little longer, preferably until after Thanksgiving, but we love that having Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party start so early gives more families a chance to experience the magic while they visit the parks. However, with Disney’s recent change from Genie+ to Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass, what does that mean for its usage during the party?

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party takes place on select nights from November 8th through December 20th from 7PM to midnight. However, you can enter the parks as early as 4PM on party nights with your party ticket to take advantage of the most amount of time in the park possible. You do NOT need to purchase a regular park ticket to attend the party, unless you’d like to enter before 4PM.

However, it’s been confirmed that Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass WILL NOT be available during the party and for those with party tickets. Not to worry though, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and TRON Lightcycle / Run will both be available with a standby queue instead of needing a Lightning Lane Single Pass or virtual queue!

But won’t the lines be really long? Thankfully, since only a limited number of tickets are sold for the party each night to keep crowds low, it’s very unlikely you’ll see a wait time over about 40-50 minutes, and that will likely be for party-exclusive meet and greets and/or Tiana’s and TRON. Many attractions are very likely to be a walk-on!

If you enter the park at 4PM and only have a party ticket, this means you will not be able to access Lightning Lane Multi Pass OR Lightning Lane Single Pass, UNLESS you’ve also bought a regular park ticket for that day. Otherwise, you’ll be experiencing those final 2 hours the park is open to all guests without access to skip-the-line services.

While this may seem frustrating, we’ve been to these parties countless times and if you want to prioritize rides, it’s very unlikely you’ll have any trouble riding all you’d like to. Most wait times are around 5-10 minutes, which is about how long it takes to walk through the queue itself!

We’ll be at the very first party to show you all there is to experience and let you know if it’s worth the whopping $169-219 price tag, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB!
