Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmastime Parade is another returning favorite. The parade is typically* offered twice nightly, first at 8:30 PM and again at 11 PM (we’ve found that the second parade is usually less crowded than the first). Parade times have not been confirmed for this year, so stay tuned for those details.

Christmas time is here!

Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration is a show performed at the Cinderella Castle stage featuring beloved Disney pals and seasonal songs. It’s typically presented several times throughout the evening.

Frozen Holiday Surprise brings Olaf and more than a hundred of his Snowgie siblings together with Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff to decorate the castle for the festivities. The show culminates with Elsa adding shimmering and sparkling touches, which “transform Cinderella Castle into a shimmering crystallized palace.”

Be on the lookout for Disney characters in their holiday finery! You’ll often find some rare characters out and about during the event as well. While the full list of characters hasn’t been confirmed yet this year, you can typically find them listed along with their locations on the party map or the My Disney Experience app.

Gingerbread men!
