December 22 Very Merry Christmas Party Sells Out
Published October 2, 2026 · Updated October 12, 2026
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party on December 22, 2026 is sold out at Magic Kingdom, according to an availability update reported Friday, October 2, 2026. It was the final party night of the season and the one closest to Christmas Day.
As of Friday, October 2, 2026, that makes two sold-out 2026 party dates. November 24 — the Thanksgiving-week party — reportedly sold out first, on September 28.
December 22 sat at the top of Disney’s 2026 price range. Disney lists party tickets at $189 to $229 plus tax depending on date, and December 22 carried the $229 adult price before it sold out. The November 24 date was reportedly priced at $204 for guests ages 10 and up.
Disney’s calendar lists 25 party nights between November 8 and December 22. The event runs 7:00 p.m. to midnight, and party ticket holders can enter Magic Kingdom starting at 4:00 p.m. Disney says party admission does not require a separate theme park ticket for that 4:00 p.m. entry.
The party is separately ticketed and date-specific, which creates two different Magic Kingdom experiences on party nights. A regular daytime ticket does not include the party, and a party ticket alone gets you in from 4:00 p.m. without a daytime ticket. Disney lists Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks, holiday character appearances and seasonal treats among the party offerings.
Disney has not announced any additional December 22 ticket release, a replacement party date, or a capacity increase. The sellout was reported from an availability update rather than a Disney statement, and Disney has not said whether other late-December dates are close to selling out.
What we know
- December 22, 2026 — Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Magic Kingdom: sold out as of the October 2 availability update; was the season’s last party night.

What it means for your trip
- If December 22 was your plan, pick a replacement date now rather than waiting for a restock Disney has not promised. The remaining nights closest to Christmas week are the next to tighten.
- Earlier-November dates are usually the cheaper end of that $189–$229 range and the softer crowds. If the party itself is the goal and not the date, move earlier.
- Party nights mean Magic Kingdom closes early to daytime guests, so check park hours before you build a full day around a party date — and if you only hold a party ticket, that 4:00 p.m. entry is three free hours of regular park time.
- Skipping the party entirely is a real option: Disney’s holiday lineup still includes park decorations, Jingle Cruise and Frozen Holiday Surprise on a standard ticket.
- SupaPark’s dining Drop Watch can catch a cancellation if your holiday-week reservations need rebuilding around a new party date — you grab the table in My Disney Experience.
