Overview
- Resort guests with qualifying Walt Disney World reservations were able to buy tickets starting Thursday, July 9, and general public sales are scheduled to begin July 16.
- Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will run on 25 select nights at Magic Kingdom from November through December 2026 and Disney Jollywood Nights expands into January for the first time with dates through January 5, 2027.
- Disney released date‑by‑date pricing for both parties: MVMCP is $189–$229 per person plus tax and Jollywood Nights is $169–$199, with children ages 3–9 getting a $10 discount and some $10 discounts for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members on select dates.
- Party tickets are separately priced after‑hours events that include early park entry (MVMCP as early as 4:00 p.m., Jollywood Nights as early as 5:30 p.m.), exclusive parades and shows, rare character meet‑and‑greets, attraction overlays, and complimentary treats.
- Because these events have limited capacity and Disney raised the minimum ticket tiers compared with 2025, coverage and fans are highlighting affordability concerns and the likelihood that popular dates will sell out quickly.
