Today, July 16th, marks the day Disney World Resort guests can jump the line and score tickets early for two of the year’s most festive special events: Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom and Disney Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
Guests staying at Disney-owned resort hotels, including the Swan & Dolphin, and Shades of Green can now purchase tickets for this beloved Magic Kingdom Christmas party.
Set to run on 24 select nights from November 7th to December 21st, 2025, this seasonal celebration features favorites offerings such as “Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade,” “Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks,” character meet-and-greets—including rare appearances like Jack Skellington—holiday-themed ride overlays, and complimentary cookies and hot cocoa.
Ticket prices range from $169 to $229, (a $10 maximum increase over 2024, which capped at $219) with Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members grabbing $10 off select dates.
Disney Jollywood Nights
Guests staying at the same resort set also get early access to tickets for Jollywood Nights. This Hollywood Studios holiday gala returns on select nights from November 8th to December 22nd, offering an elegant Hollywood-style party complete with live entertainment, specialty food and drinks, rare character greetings, and lower attraction waits. Entry begins at 5:30 PM (30 minutes earlier than last year!) with the party running from 7:30 PM to 12:30 AM.
Tickets are priced between $159 and $199 (a $20 maximum increase over 2024, which capped at $179), with discounts for Annual Passholders and DVC members; early sales are open now, with general sales kicking off on July 22nd.
Resort‑guest tickets are available now through the Disney site or by calling (407) 934‑7639, while general public sales begin next week, on July 22nd. With peak nights and lower-priced nights expected to sell out fast, today offers a golden opportunity for Disney Resort guests to lock in holiday plans before the rest of the world!
