For an enchanting parade that embodies the spirit of the holidays, look no further than Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas Parade. This mesmerizing performance includes dancing gingerbread men, whimsical ballroom dancers, beloved marching toy soldiers, and upbeat holiday music and scents that will immediately put you in the festive spirit.  

Get swept away by the magic of Christmas and see many Disney characters dressed in their holiday attire before the parade concludes with a special appearance by Santa Claus as he wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and happy New Year.   

Reminder: Since the parade travels from Frontierland to Main Street, U.S.A., there are a ton of great viewing locations for guests throughout the park.  

Hosted by Minnie Mouse, this nighttime spectacular combines beloved holiday classics — such as “Deck the Halls” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” — with stunning pyrotechnics, castle projections and lighting effects. 

Cinderella Castle will be wrapped like a present in vibrant holiday scenes; all synchronized perfectly with the music and fireworks above. Gather the elves in front of the castle to view the projections or watch the fireworks display from a variety of vantage points throughout Magic Kingdom, with great views available in areas like Liberty Square, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland.  

You can also enjoy the fireworks from the Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant with the returning Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Dessert Party. This separately priced experience includes an abundance of treats that will sweeten your night and incredible views of the fireworks. Reservation details will be coming soon. 

During this energetic performance on the Cinderella Castle stage, Disney Characters remind us why it’s the happiest season of all. You’ll find your feet tapping along to the medley of joyful tunes as live performers and characters like Clarabelle Cow, Daisy Duck, and Woody make appearances throughout the show. 

You’re invited to ring in the season with Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff, and the snowgies at Cinderella Castle as it transforms into a frozen wonderland during the Frozen Holiday Surprise. 

But the dazzling entertainment doesn’t stop there. You can also show off jingle bell rock moves at multiple dance parties featuring holiday friends:
