Yes. Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members save $10 per ticket on select nights, specifically November 8 to 20 and November 29 to December 3, 2026. The discount does not apply to every party night, so check your date before you buy.
What time does the party start, and can I get in early?
The party runs from 7:00 PM to midnight. With a party ticket you can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 PM, giving you three extra hours in the park before the event officially begins.
Do I need a separate park ticket for the party?
No. Your party ticket is all you need to enter Magic Kingdom from 4:00 PM on. You only need regular Walt Disney World park admission if you want to be in the park before 4:00 PM on a party day, since the park closes to day guests at 6:00 PM.
What is included with a party ticket?
Your ticket includes Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks, Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas Parade, Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration stage show, Frozen Holiday Surprise, special character greetings, holiday overlays on rides like Space Mountain and Jungle Cruise, snowfall on Main Street, and unlimited complimentary cookies and cocoa.
Why Is the Christmas Party Worth It?
The joy is in the details: the smell of cinnamon sugar cookies, the laughter as kids catch “snowflakes” on their tongues, the way Cinderella Castle shimmers as if dusted with magic. It’s not just a party, it’s a memory you’ll talk about every Christmas to come.
If you’re weighing your holiday options, Disney also hosts the grown-up-leaning Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios, and earlier in the season the family-favorite Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party runs the same after-hours format at Magic Kingdom.
