It’s a holiday-themed fireworks display that includes projections, special effects, special lighting, fireworks, and Disney characters. The fireworks are shown once each Party night at 10PM.

Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmastime Parade is a returning favorite… and continues to delight to this day.

The parade is offered twice nightly, first at 8:30PM and again at 11PM (we’ve found that the second parade is usually less crowded than the first).

American Sign Language interpretation will be offered during Parade on November 11th and December 5th, 10th, and 19th, 2024. Guests may request additional interpretation dates as well. “Send an email [at least 2 weeks in advance] to request additional dates. You will be contacted prior to your visit to verify interpreters are available.” (E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected])

You will be contacted prior to your visit to verify interpreters are available.” (E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected])

New to the Party in 2023 — and BACK for 2024 — is Frozen Holiday Surprise! This show brings Olaf and more than a hundred of his Snowgie siblings along with Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff in new holiday looks to decorate the castle for the festivities. The show culminates with Elsa adding shimmering and sparking touches which “transform Cinderella Castle into a shimmering crystallized palace.”

There are two performances on nights when Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is taking place: one at 6:15PM and another at 8:15PM.

And don’t forget the magic of…

…SNOW falling on Main Street, U.S.A.! This festive fun falls intermittently throughout the night.

Additional entertainment includes dance parties like Club Tinsel and Disney Junior Jingle Jam.
