Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is one of the best events Disney World puts on every year. From the exclusive characters and food to the entertainment and attraction overlays, it’s always a guest favorite. Here is the full schedule for the parade, fireworks, and more in 2023.
Frozen Holiday Surprise – 7 minutes
This year, guests will join Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff, and the Snowgies in front of Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom for “Frozen Holiday Surprise.”
This is a brand new “Frozen”-inspired entertainment experience that will illuminate the castle in a whole new way. This delightful new offering can be seen during regular park hours and during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
Anna, Elsa, Olaf, and Kristoff will appear in NEW OUTFITS and bring something special to the gathering. Instead of lights, the castle will look like a frozen ice palace with projections.
The show will only take place once a night at 8:15 pm.
Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration stage show – 20 minutes
Feel the magic of the holidays come to life during a jubilant stage show that fills the air with music, laughter, shimmering snowflakes––and a whole lot of Disney Characters, too!
Gather around Cinderella Castle as live performers dance and sing a medley of delightful holiday songs. There are several showtimes: 7:40, 9:25, 10:35, and 11:55 pm
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade – 20 minutes
The legendary street comes alive with yuletide spirit on select nights. Snap memorable photos of dancing gingerbread men, marching toy soldiers and beloved Disney Characters as they float by, waving hello.
There’s even a special appearance by Santa Claus–riding in to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. The parade is 25 minutes long and will run twice each evening the event takes place at 8:30 and 11:00 pm.
Minnie’s Wonderful Christmas Fireworks – 12 minutes
Get in the Christmas spirit as your host—Minnie Mouse—invites you to take in a sparkling, yuletide fireworks display. Watch as the sky becomes alight with festive colors to the tune of some of your favorite carols like Deck the Halls and We Wish You a Merry Christmas.
This merry display can be thoroughly enjoyed from most locations throughout Magic Kingdom park—including Liberty Square, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland.
The fireworks will only take place once at 10:00 pm, and there is a dessert party if you want a reserved spot.
