When I went to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party for the first time, I felt like I would never get everything done. From trying to get a spot for the fireworks, the parade, and that castle show, I can’t forget meeting characters and special snacks, and ahhhhh, it was so much! There’s a lot to do during the party, and if you don’t plan ahead, you might miss something you were really looking forward to.

One way to plan ahead of time is to know all the available showtimes so you know what to prioritize and where to head first. Disney World just announced the showtimes for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and here’s everything you need to know!

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party runs on select nights from November 8th to December 22nd at Magic Kingdom and will require an additional ticket to enter. The ticket gets you access to exclusive entertainment, characters, and food! Nights are already selling out, so if you have your eye on a certain date, grab your tickets soon.

Here’s a look at all the showtimes:

Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade

This parade is a fan favorite and where you’ll see some of the most iconic characters of the party. You’ll see the Toy Soldiers and plenty of Disney characters along the route. Of course, Santa is also part of it, and it lasts about 25 minutes. You can catch it in a few different places in the park, including by Frontierland, which typically has fewer crowds, and closer to the castle and Main Street, U.S.A. It will run at 8:30 PM and 11 PM.

Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration

This stage show is right in front of the castle! You’ll get to see Mickey and all the friends in their Christmas outfits. There’s some super fun music, and Clarabelle Cow sings “All I Want for Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey, which is pretty iconic if you ask us. You can watch it at 7:40 PM, 9:25 PM, 10:35 PM, and 11:55 PM. You’ll want to be toward the front of the castle to see everything.

Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks

This fireworks show plays only once a night at 10 PM, so you don’t want to miss it! We think the best place to watch is in front of the castle so you can see all the projections and the fireworks above it, but you can also catch it from other locations like Fantasyland and Tomorrowland; just keep in mind you probably won’t see everything.

To catch everything, make sure you’re still prioritizing. Maybe you want to watch the fireworks in front of the castle but the parade from Frontierland so you don’t have to line up as early. There are also multiple showtimes for the castle stage show and parade, but only one for the fireworks. You can see them all, but you might not have as much time for snacks, character meet-and-greets, and rides.

We’re going to be at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party for the very first night of 2026, sharing all the details you need to know to have the best visit ever and to make the most of your park ticket. Keep following Disney Food Blog for more!
