Disney World Holiday Season Kicks Off With Party Openers, Returning Shows and Filming-Driven Schedule Shifts

Opening nights confirm event logistics, complimentary treats, plus brief daytime changes driven by holiday TV filming.

Overview

  • Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party began at Magic Kingdom on November 7 and runs select nights through December 21 with the Christmastime Parade, Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks, Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration, and Frozen Holiday Surprise on the published schedule.
  • Party check‑in provides early entry, event maps, wristbands, and a keepsake ornament that matches an exclusive party popcorn bucket.
  • Complimentary cookies and cocoa are available at marked locations across the park, with specified flavors and a full slate of top‑nine‑allergen‑free cookie options.
  • Festival of Fantasy did not run on November 8–9 due to holiday special filming, with a rare daytime Christmastime Parade presented on November 8.
  • Disney Jollywood Nights opened at Hollywood Studios with its own maps, plastic wristbands, multiple check‑in points, and heavy crowds; a single outlet reports Minnie’s fireworks may run nightly for all guests from December 22, which remains unconfirmed.
