Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party won’t be happening at Walt Disney World this year.
Instead, the Magic Kingdom will host a new, limited-capacity nighttime event called Disney Very Merriest After Hours.
The event will run on select nights from Nov. 8 through Dec. 21 and will not be covered under regular park admission.
Guests must purchase special tickets to the four-hour festivities, which offer shorter lines to 20 select attractions, lots of holiday fanfare and a special fireworks show, “Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks.”
Tickets for Disney Very Merriest After Hours go on sale in August. Guests who stay at select Disney Resort hotels will be able to book sooner.
