It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
Christmas in Magic Kingdom
The holidays in Disney World are the best time to be in Disney World in our opinion. EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays is happening, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is underway, and Jollywood Nights has us dancing the nights away. Starting tomorrow, we have another big change coming to shake up the festivities!
Tomorrow, December 21st, you can see Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmas Parade without paying for an extra ticket! This popular holiday parade is typically only available during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, which is a separately ticketed event — but not anymore.
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade
Throughout the rest of the Christmas celebrations, you can catch this parade twice a day at Magic Kingdom! The parade will run at 12PM and 3PM for anyone who is at the park. While this does mean that the Festival of Fantasy parade will be unavailable for now, there’s no need to worry. It will be back starting on January 1st, 2025.
The parade at night.
The Christmas parade features Mickey and all his best pals in their holiday getups, along with familiar faces like Anna and Elsa from Frozen, Vanellope Von Schweetz from Wreck it Ralph, and even Santa Clause himself! This parade has been one of our favorites throughout the years, and now you can see it without going to the party.
Santa!!
This is a great way to see a rare parade without paying more than your traditional Disney ticket, and we are excited to enjoy it for the next few days. If you’re not going to be in the parks over the next few days, not a problem! You can always catch the Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade on ABC or Disney+ on Christmas Day. As always, keep following Disney Food Blog for all of your Disney news and updates.
