🎄 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party 2026: Entertainment Schedule Is HERE! 🎄

If you’re heading to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom this year, it’s time to start planning your night! 🎅✨

Disney has released the 2026 entertainment schedule, which means we can finally start figuring out how to fit all of those holiday favorites into one magical evening.

And let me tell you… there is A LOT to see! ❤️💚

Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s party entertainment and the times you’ll want to have on your radar.

🎄 Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration

One of my favorite parts of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is the festive castle stage show, Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration!

This is one you definitely don’t want to miss, and Disney is giving us FOUR opportunities to see it:

✨ 7:40 PM✨ 9:25 PM✨ 10:35 PM✨ 11:55 PM

Having multiple showtimes is great because it gives you some flexibility with the rest of your evening.

🎅 Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade

Okay… THIS is the one I know so many of you are waiting for! 🎄❤️

Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade will take place twice during the party:

🎄 8:30 PM🎄 11:00 PM

And here’s my little planning tip:

If you want to see the parade but would rather avoid some of the bigger crowds, consider the 11:00 PM parade.

The later parade typically has smaller crowds, which can make finding a viewing spot a little easier. Plus, you’ll have the chance to enjoy some rides, characters, snacks, and all of that Christmas magic earlier in the evening!

✨ Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks

And, of course, we have the fireworks!

🎆 10:00 PM

Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks will light up the sky at 10 PM.

This is one of those moments where I always recommend taking a minute to stop and soak it all in. You’re at Magic Kingdom, surrounded by Christmas decorations, holiday music, Cinderella Castle is glowing, and fireworks are going off overhead.

It doesn’t get much more magical than that! ✨

❄️ Frozen Holiday Surprise

There is one piece of the entertainment schedule that we are STILL waiting on.

Disney has not yet released the showtimes for Frozen Holiday Surprise.

As soon as those times are announced, I’ll be updating you!

🎄 So… How Would I Plan My Night?

If you’re wondering how you can possibly fit everything in, here’s one way I would structure the evening:

7:40 PM – Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration 🎄

8:30 PM – Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade 🎅

After the parade, this is a great time to enjoy some attractions, grab holiday treats, shop, or visit characters.

9:25 PM – Another opportunity for Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration if you missed the first one.

10:00 PM – Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks 🎆

After fireworks, you can take advantage of shorter attraction lines, enjoy more snacks, meet characters, or…

11:00 PM – Catch the second showing of Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade!

And if you're still going strong…

11:55 PM – The final Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration of the night! ✨

❤️ My biggest piece of advice?

Don't try to do everything at once!

There is so much going on during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party that it can be tempting to build a minute-by-minute schedule and rush from one thing to the next.

Instead, pick the things that are most important to YOU and build your evening around those.

Maybe the parade is your must-do. Maybe it’s the fireworks. Maybe you’re all about the characters and holiday treats. Or maybe you want to ride as many attractions as possible with lower wait times.

There is no wrong way to do the party! 🎄

And remember, the party takes place on select nights November 8 through December 22, 2026, so if you're attending, now is a great time to start thinking about your strategy.

As soon as Disney releases the Frozen Holiday Surprise times, I’ll be sharing those too!
