Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is set to begin on November 7th and run on select nights this holiday season through December 21st. One of the highlights of the event is specialty entertainment. Guests can enjoy everything from a magical parade under Florida “snowfall” to holiday fireworks, and everything in between. In this article, we’re going to take a look at the recently posted entertainment showtimes for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade Showtimes
When: 8:30pm, 11pm
Where: Along the standard parade route, kicking off in Frontierland and ending on Main Street USA
For an enchanting parade that embodies the spirit of the holidays, look no further than Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas Parade. This mesmerizing performance includes dancing gingerbread men, whimsical ballroom dancers, beloved marching toy soldiers, and upbeat holiday music and scents that will immediately put you in the festive spirit.
Get swept away by the magic of Christmas and see many Disney characters dressed in their holiday attire before the parade concludes with a special appearance by Santa Claus as he wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and happy New Year.
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade is the premier holiday parade, and something of a must-see during the event. In 2024, Walt Disney World debuted a new soundtrack and made other adjustments to the parade. Check out our article for a full rundown of the changes, or check out our video of the parade coming down Main Street USA below!
Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Showtimes
When: 10pm
Where: Anywhere around Magic Kingdom, Main Street USA recommended
Hosted by Minnie Mouse, this nighttime spectacular combines beloved holiday classics — such as “Deck the Halls” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” —with stunning pyrotechnics, castle projections and lighting effects.
Cinderella Castle will be wrapped like a present in vibrant holiday scenes; all synchronized perfectly with the music and fireworks above. Gather the elves in front of the castle to view the projections or watch the fireworks display from a variety of vantage points throughout Magic Kingdom, with great views available in areas like Liberty Square, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland.
Minnie’s Once Upon a Christmastime Fireworks show is a combination projection and fireworks show featuring festive scenes on Cinderella Castle. Unlike Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular during the Halloween season, there is no stage element to the Christmas fireworks show, which means that you don’t have to pile into the hub around Cinderella Castle if you don’t want to.
That said, there are some perimeter fireworks that will expand the canvas in the sky a bit wider than you may be used to. In 2023, we watched from just to the left of Cinderella Castle, providing a nice view of Cinderella Castle, the forecourt turrets, and the perimeter fireworks. Check out our video below!
