The parties. Snacks and toasty beverages. All of the amazing decor! There is so much to love about the holidays at Disney.

Christmas is a very special time of the year to visit a Disney park. If you have never been, I (Monica) encourage to plan a visit ASAP! You can read all about what makes Disney more special during the holidays in this post.

At Disney World we have two special events to look forward to: the return of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and the debut of Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

On 25 select nights, Nov. 9-Dec. 22, this separately ticketed event will welcome guests to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year at Magic Kingdom. Holiday magic is unwrapped with the return of festive favorites like the Christmas extravaganza stage show, “Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration,” the sparkling spectacular “Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks” and the merry must-see “Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade.”

Guests can also look forward to enjoying some of their favorite classic and thrill attractions, including TRON Lightcycle / Run presented by Enterprise, which will use a virtual queue during the event.

Holiday overlays that are returning for this year’s party are also Jingle Cruise and Space Mountain. Overlays missing from this year are Mad Tea Party, Tomorrowland Speedway Race Through the Holidays and the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor Holiday Show.
