Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Price Increases $40 for a Family of Four

Disney Parks fans planning to celebrate the holidays at the Magic Kingdom this year may want to double-check their budget. Walt Disney World Resort has officially revealed pricing details for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party 2025, and the cost is climbing again.

This week, Disney announced the full lineup of seasonal offerings coming to all four Walt Disney World Resort theme parks, including the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, The Merry Menagerie at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, and after-hours events like Disney Jollywood Nights and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. While the first two festivities are included with standard theme park admission, the latter two require a separate ticket.

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will return on select nights from November 7 through December 21, transforming Magic Kingdom Park into a winter wonderland filled with exclusive holiday entertainment. The event brings back beloved offerings like Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks, and Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration. Guests can meet rare characters, including Santa Jack Skellington, and enjoy free festive snacks throughout the park.

The hard-ticketed event remains one of the most anticipated celebrations at Walt Disney World Resort, but it also continues to get more expensive. In 2024, the highest-priced ticket was $219. This year, that number jumps to $229. For a family of four visiting during peak dates, that’s a $40 increase just to attend the party.

Prices start at $169 per person, but those lower prices are typically only available for early November weekday dates. Higher-tier pricing tends to apply to December dates closer to Christmas.

  • December: 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 21
