Magic Kingdom’s Christmas Tree Rises as Disney World’s Holiday Season Kicks Off

Capacity limits are driving quicker party sellouts this year.

Overview

  • Overnight decor now blankets Magic Kingdom, with the Town Square tree up on November 3 plus new wreaths, garlands, and themed touches across multiple lands.
  • Hollywood Studios began decorating on November 1, including the return of red-and-white stars on Sunset Boulevard ahead of Jollywood Nights.
  • Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party runs November 7–December 21, and as of November 2 most November dates were sold out with tickets still available for November 30 and select December nights.
  • Multiple reports attribute the rapid sellouts to Disney reducing event capacity to address prior crowding complaints.
  • Several legacy holiday offerings remain discontinued, and the Grand Floridian gingerbread display is paused during lobby refurbishment with an expected return after work concludes.
