Disney World Guests Continue To Empty Pockets for Exclusive Magic Kingdom Park Access

Another date has dropped off the board for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Sunday, December 6, is now sold out at Magic Kingdom, cutting the number of nights still on sale for the 2026 event to just seven.

Disney has said from the start that availability is limited for every date, and the steady run of sellouts this season is proving it. For guests still hoping to catch the holiday celebration at Walt Disney World Resort, the list of options is getting short.

Seven Dates Still Available

As of publication, tickets remain for the following nights:

  • November 29
  • December 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, and 17

The November 29 date stands out for two reasons. It is the only November party left on the calendar, and it is the final night eligible Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members can use their $10 discount on admission. None of the remaining December parties include that saving.

What Tickets Cost

Pricing for the 2026 season has ranged from $189 to $229, plus tax, depending on the night. The dates still available fall toward the top of that scale. Adult tickets, which apply to guests aged 10 and up, run between $214 and $229, plus tax, while tickets for children aged 3 to 9 come in $10 lower.

Guests should check the official Walt Disney World event page for current availability and pricing before buying.

Inside the Party

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party takes over Magic Kingdom on select nights between November 8 and December 22, 2026. It is a separately ticketed event, so a regular park ticket will not get guests in. The party officially runs from 7 p.m. to midnight, though ticket holders can enter as early as 4 p.m. to get a head start on attractions.

The entertainment lineup leans fully into the season. Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade brings Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Santa Claus, and a cast of Disney favorites down the parade route. Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show lights up the sky to close the night, and Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration returns as the event’s stage show.

Guests also get complimentary cookies and hot cocoa at designated locations, holiday character greetings around the park, and access to select attractions.

The Bottom Line

With December 6 gone, seven dates are left, and November 29 is the last call for Passholder and DVC savings. Disney has warned that tickets may sell out before the event, and at the current pace, guests planning a Christmas trip should secure party tickets before finalizing travel.

Thomas Hitchen

When he’s not thinking about the Magic Kingdom, Thomas is usually reading a book, becoming desperately obsessed with fictional characters, or baking something delicious (his favorite is chocolate cake -- to bake and to eat). He's a dreamer and grew up on Mulan saving the world, Jim Hawkins soaring through the stars, and Padmé Amidala fighting a Nexu. At the Parks, he loves to ride Everest, stroll down Main Street with an overstuffed pin lanyard around his neck, and eat as many Mickey-shaped ice creams as possible. His favorite character is Han Solo (yes, he did shoot first), and his favorite TV show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer except when it's One Tree Hill. He loves sandy beach walks, forest hikes, and foodie days out in the Big City. Thomas lives in England, UK, with his fiancée, baby, and their dog, a Border Collie called Luna.
