Today marks the official opening day for all Disney fans to snag tickets to two of Walt Disney World’s most anticipated holiday events: Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom and Disney Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios. Until now, early access was limited to Disney Resort hotel guests – but now, everyone can join the holiday fun!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
This beloved Christmas tradition returns to Magic Kingdom on 24 select nights from November 7 through December 21, 2025. You can expect these holiday favorites to return:
- Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade
- Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks
- Special character meet-and-greets; including rare appearances like Jack Skellington!
- Holiday-themed attraction overlays (don’t miss Space Mountain!)
- Specialty food & drinks
- 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
Back for another year, Disney Jollywood Nights transforms Hollywood Studios into a glamorous, star-studded holiday celebration. Running on select evenings from November 8 to December 22, 2025, this after-hours event includes:
- Event-exclusive entertainment including Disney Holidays in Hollywood (hosted by Kermit and Miss Piggy!) Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM fireworks, Glisten! ice skating performances, and What’s This? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along
- Specialty food and drinks
- Rare character meet & greet opportunities
- Lower attraction waits
NEW for this year: You can enter the park as early as 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.
Pro tip: Popular nights – especially those with lower prices or weekend dates – will sell out fast. Whether you’re dreaming of snowfall on Main Street, U.S.A. or glitz and glam in Tinseltown, today is your best chance to lock in those tickets before they’re gone!
