Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade - Christmas Day Parade version
Posted: Thursday October 24, 2024 1:11p ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade has been added to the official Magic Kingdom operating hours during regular park hours on Saturday November 9 and Sunday November 10, 2024, giving day guests an early chance to enjoy the holiday parade.

The parade will take place at 2 pm on both days, just one day after its 2024 debut at the exclusive, hard-ticketed Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party on November 8. This marks the second consecutive year that the parade has been performed during regular daytime hours in early November, an accommodation likely made for filming the ABC Disney Holiday Special.

Note that there will be no Disney Festival Fantasy Parade performance on November 9 or 10.

Typically, Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade is exclusive to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party until the party season ends, when it begins performing daily during Magic Kingdom's peak Christmas week.

Seth still gets paid by Disney for Family Guy (and American Dad too - since Disney produces both). And technically The Orville isn'r dead 100% either... It is a sad guest list though, that I agree.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say Jollywood nights has not sold out since the first night.

Ugh...That guest list is sad...And they must have given Seth McFarlane a decent paycheck just to come down since he doesn't want any part to be with Disney any more and stick with Universal Studios.. Better off sticking to the classics..The Better ones.

And Nov 21 is now sold out.

Is this a sign of lower demand for the party as a whole or just an off night? Certainly parties not sellling out will be a point of concern for WDW. Maybe it could lead to improved offerings next year?

Yeah this will be a first in a while if it doesn't sell out. There is still time though
