Special Entertainment and Inclusions

Event Entertainment

Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks is a true highlight of the event!

It’s a holiday-themed fireworks display that includes projections, special effects, special lighting, fireworks, and Disney characters. The fireworks are shown once each Party night at 10PM. 

Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmastime Parade is a returning favorite… and continues to delight to this day.

The parade is presented twice nightly, first at 8:30PM and again at 11PM. (We’ve found that the second parade is usually less crowded than the first.)

Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration is a show performed at the Cinderella Castle stage featuring beloved Disney pals and seasonal songs.

It’s presented several times throughout the evening, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to catch it: 7:40PM, 9:25PM, 10:35PM, and 11:55PM. 

Frozen Holiday Surprise brings Olaf and more than a hundred of his Snowgie siblings together with Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff to decorate the castle for the festivities. The show culminates with Elsa adding shimmering and sparking touches which “transform Cinderella Castle into a shimmering crystallized palace.”

There are typically two performances on nights when Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is taking place: one at 6:15PM and another at 8:15PM.

And don’t forget the magic of…

…SNOW falling on Main Street, U.S.A.! This festive fun falls intermittently throughout the night.

Additional entertainment includes dance parties like Club Tinsel and Disney Junior Jingle Jam.
