The first night of Walt Disney World’s 2025 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, scheduled for November 7th, is officially sold out. Disney has confirmed that tickets for that evening are no longer available.
Tickets for the opening night were priced at a massive $199 per person for guests aged 10 and up, before any available discounts. Tickets for children (Disney considers children to be aged 3 to 9) were priced at $10 less than the adult rate. As of the latest update, this is the only date among the 2025 party schedule that has sold out as of this writing.

Ticket sales opened for guests staying at Disney‑owned resorts (and select partner hotels) on July 16, 2025. For the general public, sales began on July 22, 2025.
Guests who had planned to attend on that night will need to consider alternate dates. The remaining 23 party nights still show availability as of our most recent check. However, demand historically increases as the season progresses, particularly in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving and Christmas. Events such as this typically see early sellouts on opening nights and mid-November weekends, with prices and availability shifting as demand increases.
Dates and Pricing
The 2025 edition of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is set to take place on 24 select evenings between November 7 and December 21.
The full list of scheduled dates in November includes the 7th, 10th, 11th, 13th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 21st, 25th, 26th, 28th, and 30th. The December dates are the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 19th, and 21st. On party nights, guests are permitted to enter Magic Kingdom beginning at 4:00 p.m., even though the event itself officially begins at 7 p.m. and concludes at midnight.

Ticket prices vary based on the date selected. For adults, prices range from $169 to $229. Less expensive tickets are typically available on earlier dates or weeknights, while more expensive tickets are tied to dates closer to Christmas or weekends in December.

The $199 ticket price for the sold-out opening night falls in the mid-range for the season. Several December nights, including December 19 and 21, are priced at $229, which is the highest tier for the 2025 schedule. The opening night’s pricing reflects strong demand but not necessarily premium-tier status.
What’s Included in the 2025 Event
This year’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party includes several returning holiday-themed entertainment offerings, character appearances, and seasonal overlays. The event features Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, a nighttime procession that includes toy soldiers, dancing gingerbread men, and Santa Claus. It runs twice nightly during each party.
Guests can also view Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks, which combines holiday music with projections and pyrotechnics centered on Cinderella Castle. The stage show Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration returns as well, with Disney characters performing seasonal songs in front of the castle.

The Frozen Holiday Surprise show has also been added to the nightly entertainment again this year. It features Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf, and the snowgies with projections and effects that transform Cinderella Castle into a winter scene. This show is open to all guests during regular park hours but runs on party nights as well.
Character greetings are available throughout the park, including rare appearances. Mickey and Minnie meet guests in holiday outfits, while other characters, such as “Santa Jack” Skellington and Sally, appear in costume. Anna and Elsa are also available for greetings inside Princess Fairytale Hall.
Several attractions receive holiday-themed overlays. The Jungle Cruise operates as the “Jingle Cruise,” with added decorations and narration. Space Mountain, Tomorrowland Speedway, Mad Tea Party, and Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor also offer modified versions for the event.

The party includes complimentary cookies and hot cocoa at multiple locations. Snowfall effects take place on Main Street, U.S.A., and holiday music plays throughout the park. Special merchandise, available only during party nights, is offered in select stores.
Dance parties return this year as well. Club Tinsel, held in Tomorrowland, features contemporary music and holiday lights. Disney Junior Jingle Jam, located inside Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café, caters to younger children with characters and interactive songs.

Guests with party tickets may enter Magic Kingdom beginning at 4 p.m., although official party programming runs from 7 p.m. to midnight. Most of the holiday entertainment, character greetings, and exclusive merchandise are only available during those evening hours.
