Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas Parade
This enchanting parade captures the spirit of the season with dancing gingerbread men, whimsical ballroom dancers, marching toy soldiers, and upbeat holiday music. Many Disney characters appear in their holiday attire before the parade concludes with a special visit from Santa Claus. Because the parade travels from Frontierland to Main Street, U.S.A., there are great viewing spots throughout the park.
Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks
Hosted by Minnie Mouse, this nighttime spectacular pairs beloved holiday classics like “Deck the Halls” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” with stunning pyrotechnics, castle projections, and lighting effects. Cinderella Castle is wrapped like a present in vibrant holiday scenes, all synchronized to the music. Find great views in Liberty Square, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland.
For an extra-special experience, the Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Dessert Parties return — separately priced experiences with an abundance of treats and incredible fireworks views. Reservation details are coming soon.
Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration
On the Cinderella Castle stage, Disney friends remind us why it’s the happiest season of all. You’ll be tapping your feet to a medley of joyful tunes as live performers and characters like Clarabelle Cow, Daisy Duck, and Woody from Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story films join the fun.
Frozen Holiday Surprise & Dance Parties
Ring in the season with Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff, and the snowgies as Cinderella Castle transforms into a frozen wonderland during Frozen Holiday Surprise. Then show off your jingle bell rock moves at dance parties with holiday friends and event DJs in locations throughout the park.
Rides with a Holiday Twist
