SURPRISE!
Frozen Holiday Surprise
A fan-favorite Disney Holiday show just announced a SURPRISE early return date for the 2024 Holiday season at Disney World! Frozen Holiday Surprise is returning to the Magic Kingdom… TODAY, November 5th!
Happy holidays! It feels so weird to be saying that, but we are officially into the holiday season.
Happy Holidays from Disney World!
Magic Kingdom is getting ready to celebrate with one of our favorite after-hours events of the year. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a specially-ticketed event to celebrate the upcoming holidays. You get access to shorter lines for rides, FREE hot chocolate and cookies, exclusive entertainment and treats, and more. It will seriously make you feel ready for Christmas in one night. And since the event starts on November 8th, we thought you might want a little inspo for your Christmas Party outfit!
In my four years working for Disney Food Blog, I’ve been to a LOT of hard-ticketed events.
2022 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
Some of those offerings were for work, while others were for fun (we DFB employees are die-hard Disney fans just like you guys!); some of them were in Disney World, while others were in Disneyland Resort (Disney Channel Nite was a BLAST, y’all). But the ones I’ve done the most are the Disney World holiday parties! I’ve been to all three of them at this point, and I’ve got some hot tips to share.
It is almost time for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party to start in Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom During Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!
On select nights from November 8th to December 20th, the Magic Kingdom hosts Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, it is a specially ticketed event. Those with tickets can enter the Magic Kingdom at 4 PM. The park officially closes for regular park operating hours at 6 PM, and the party kicks off at 7 PM. During the party, there is specialty entertainment like Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade and Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks. There are also holiday-themed character meet, and greets, and lines for attractions tend to be shorter since the party has a limited capacity. Of course, there are tons of party-exclusive food, but we are confused about why getting some of these treats is so complicated.
Hold up. Can you believe it? It’s almost 2025 and that means your Disney World trip is just about here!!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom

The transition from Halloween to Christmas continues at Magic Kingdom!
Happy Holidays!
November 1st marked the beginning of the holiday season at Magic Kingdom! Overnight, the park went from the spookiest season to the jolliest. Wreaths, poinsettias, and Mickey and Minnie holiday topiaries showed up at the train station and Main Street, U.S.A. But the biggest and most magical decoration was yet to make its appearance — the Christmas tree!
Can you feel it in the air? Christmas time at Disney World is almost here!
