Overview
- Disney Live Entertainment’s casting notice posted Wednesday confirms the parade’s 2026 return to Magic Kingdom and seeks inline skaters and character performers.
- The audition specifies inline skaters 5'7" and taller with prior skating experience who can perform choreography, and it asks that applicants be local to Central Florida.
- Applicants must be available weekly from late September through January 1, 2026, and Disney is accepting online submissions through May 17.
- Disney has not yet announced dates, entertainment lineup, or pricing for the 2026 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, the ticketed after-hours event where the parade is a marquee draw.
- Last year’s party sold out every night with tickets priced between $169 and $229 per person, setting expectations for strong demand when 2026 details and sales are released.
