How should a first-time visitor plan a Christmas party?
Decide whether the holiday entertainment is worth the additional ticket cost for your family. A party is easiest to enjoy when you choose a few priorities instead of trying to fit every character, ride and show into one night.
- Separate your tickets. Do not assume regular theme park admission covers a separately ticketed evening event.
- Check that year’s entry time. Plan meals and transportation around the actual ticket rules.
- Choose your top experiences. Leave space between shows rather than racing across the park.
- Plan for tired children. A late-night event may call for a slower morning and an afternoon rest.
- Expect some waits. Limited admission does not guarantee short queues for every ride or character.
For the latest event information, consult Disney’s current Christmas party page. Do not reuse an old year’s ride list, prices or character locations as a current itinerary.
