When You Can Catch Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade — WITHOUT a Party Ticket!
If you’re anything like me, you’re counting the days until Halloween (7 days!), Christmas (62 days!), AND Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom — which officially kicks off on Friday, November 8th (in case you’re wondering, that’s just 15 days!).

The festive, hard-ticketed event includes tasty treats, exclusive party merchandise, themed character meet-and-greets, and of course, some fabulously festive entertainment!

While party guests typically enjoy shorter wait times at popular rides, the REAL draw of the evening is always the special entertainment.
Party guests can boogie at upbeat dance parties, enjoy Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration stage show, and marvel at Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show.

But the TRUE star of the evening is Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, which features beautiful floats, beloved Disney characters, toy soldiers, faux snow, and even a visit from Santa himself!

The very merry spectacular usually occurs at night during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
But what if I told you there’s ANOTHER way to catch the parade –– and it DOESN’T involve a party ticket?
