Christmas Party Opening Night Is Sold Out. Pick Your Date Before Planning the Rest.

The Christmas outfits can wait. If Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is part of your Disney World plans, check the ticket calendar first.

We checked Disney’s official ticket calendar on October 18, 2026. Nine of the 25 party nights are marked sold out, including opening night on November 8. That leaves 16 dates showing availability at the time of our check. Availability can change.

Which nights are sold out?

• November: 8, 9, 12, 13, 17 and 24.
• December: 1, 20 and 22.

This updates The DIS’s October 17 report of eight sold-out nights. November 8 now also carries a Sold Out label on Disney’s calendar.

Which dates still show tickets?

• November: 15, 19, 20, 25, 27 and 29.
• December: 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17 and 18.

For the standard ages-10-and-up ticket selection, the lowest remaining price displayed was $194 before tax on November 15 and 19. Check your own party size and any eligible discounts directly with Disney before making plans.

The NRDA planning takeaway

Choose a party night that works for your group before arranging the rest of that day around it. A dinner reservation does not secure party admission, and a regular Magic Kingdom ticket does not replace this separate event ticket.

The party runs from 7 p.m. to midnight. Disney says party ticketholders may enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4 p.m. on their ticket date without an additional day ticket or park reservation. That gives you an earlier start, but it is worth thinking about how much of your evening you want to spend sitting down for dinner.

If your first choice is gone, compare the remaining dates before changing other reservations. Disney states that these event tickets are nonrefundable and nontransferable, so check the date carefully before purchasing.

Would you build your trip around a Christmas party night, or enjoy the holiday decorations during a regular park visit?
