Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party just got a LOT more expensive…This week, Walt Disney World Resort dropped a TON of information about the holiday celebrations at Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Some festivities, like the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays and The Merry Menagerie at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, are included with regular theme park tickets. Other offerings, including Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Disney Jollywood Nights, are hard-ticketed special events that provide exclusive access to Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.Credit: DisneyOn Wednesday, Walt Disney World Resort announced that Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party would again take over the Magic Kingdom on select nights from November 7 to December 21, 2025.
