17 Reasons — in Photos! — You'll Want to Spend the Holidays at Disney World This Year

On select nights between Nov. 7 and Dec. 22, Disney closes early for the specially ticketed Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. Though pricey — tickets range from $86 for kids under 10 to $99 per adult ticket — the show packs a lot of bang for your buck and is one true Disney fans do not want to miss. We're talking four shows at Cinderella's castle, holiday treats handed out throughout the park, and access to rides well past midnight.

One of the big benefits of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is that the park is cleared out at 7 p.m., and only those with wristbands for the event can stay or enter the park. That means slightly smaller crowds and shorter wait times at popular rides.
