Christmas Event Prices at Disney World 2026: Everything You Need to Know
If you're thinking about traveling to Walt Disney World during the holiday season, we have some important news to share with you. Disney has already confirmed the official prices for its two most anticipated end-of-year events: Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Disney Jollywood Nights.
As every year, these events require a separate ticket from regular park admission and usually sell out quickly, especially on dates closest to Christmas. Therefore, if your trip coincides with November or December 2026, this is the ideal time to start planning.
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2026
Magic Kingdom's classic holiday event will return on select nights between November 8 and December 22, 2026. During the celebration, the park is completely transformed with a unique atmosphere, exclusive entertainment, and many special surprises.
Among the most outstanding experiences are:
- Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade.
- Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks.
- Exclusive encounters with characters dressed for the occasion.
- Complimentary cookies and hot chocolate.

How much does Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party cost in 2026?

| Busiest dates | USD 229 + taxes |
Children ages 3 to 9 receive a discount of USD 10 per ticket. The price varies depending on the date selected, and, as is the case every year, the nights closest to Christmas are the most expensive and the first to sell out.
Disney Jollywood Nights 2026
If you're looking for a unique celebration, Disney Jollywood Nights returns to Disney’s Hollywood Studios with its elegant theme inspired by the glamour of classic Hollywood.
The event will take place on select nights starting November 7, 2026 to January 5, 2027, offering a completely different nighttime experience from the rest of the parks.
During the party you will find:
- Exclusive shows.
- Characters with special costumes.

Quick comparison of events

| Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party | Magic Kingdom | USD 189 to USD 229 |
| Disney Jollywood Nights | Disney's Hollywood Studios | USD 169 to USD 199 |
Which one is better to choose?
The answer depends on the type of trip you are planning.
If this is your first Christmas at Walt Disney World, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is usually the most complete and traditional experience, featuring the Christmas parade, exclusive fireworks, and all the magic that Magic Kingdom is known for.
Instead, Disney Jollywood Nights offers a different proposal, with a more sophisticated atmosphere, excellent gastronomy, and entertainment designed for those who want to enjoy Hollywood Studios at night with a much more relaxed ambiance.
Many travelers even decide to attend both events to experience two completely different things during their vacation.
