Light the lights and start playing “All I Want for Christmas Is You” — it’s time to talk about the holiday season!
We know, it’s probably the last thing you’re thinking about with the warm summer weather and Halloween around the corner first. However, Disney World just released a TON of information about the winter holiday season including dates for the 2024 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, info for Jollywood Nights (yes, this controversial event is returning), and details for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. The last two are separately ticketed events that happen after the park closes, so if you’re planning to go, you’ll need to prepare to buy tickets. That time is coming up soon — like very soon — because tickets are about to open up to ALL visitors!
On July 2nd, tickets for both Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights became available to purchase…for hotel guests only visiting on those dates. However, TOMORROW (July 10th), tickets go on sale for everybody!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party takes place in Magic Kingdom on certain nights from November 8th to December 20th, 2024 (see the full list of dates right here).
The exclusive party features shows, like Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration, Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, and the Holiday Fireworks spectacular: Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks. This is along with dance parties like Club Tinsel and Disney Junior Jingle Jam.
There’s more where that came from! See everything that is returning at the link below.
CONFIRMED: Everything Returning to the 2024 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom
On the other hand, Jollywood Nights is a new holiday event that kicked off at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2023 and will run on certain dates from November 9th to December 21st.
It was a holiday event unlike any other Disney had created so far…but it quickly became controversial based on fan feedback. There will be some changes this year, though, with new characters and a SKATING. SPECTACULAR. It will be interesting to see if these changes win over the public after a not-so-great debut last year.
Some of the highlights we experienced last year include exclusive entertainment (like the Holidays in Hollywood show featuring the Muppets!), the Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! nighttime fireworks and projections spectacular, exclusive treats, and more!
Everything CONFIRMED for the 2024 Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Based on what we’ve seen with Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, we don’t expect tickets to go super quickly. However, it’s better to buy early if you know which date you want to go because, well, you never know! The dates on or around holidays tend to go the fastest so keep that in mind when getting your game plan together before tomorrow.
Set those alarms and keep following DFB for the latest Disney news.
