Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Walt Disney World is being replaced this holiday season, but don't worry: a new celebration, Disney Very Merriest After Hours, will debut on Nov. 8 and run on select nights through Dec. 21. The Magic Kingdom celebration will offer four hours of holiday fun from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., though guests will be allowed into the park beginning at 7 p.m. The event will be ticketed separately just like Disney's Halloween festivities, with tickets going on sale in August.
The after-hours celebration will feature character sightings, holiday music and decor, festive food and treats, holiday-themed attraction overlays and Cinderella Castle projections, snow on Main Street, and Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks. Bring on the holiday season!
