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.

Call me crazy but I don't think food is really the point of the Christmas Party........

"Buy a $169 ticket to our Christmas Party! Then, spend another $100 on food!!!" Not really what "sweeten the deal" means, but I digress.

Interesting! So ABC Parade Taping after all? This could be quite a Weekend! First MVMCP, MOUACT all Weekend, maybe 2025 Updates from D23 Brazil!

Jollywood menu seems much more imaginative and exciting, but there definitely seem to be some gems on here. The baked brie flatbread sounds delightful!

The exclusive food makes sense to me; it helps sell a package. Go to the party and you get not only short lines, you get things you can only get there. It's meant to sweeten the deal, not be the entire reason you go.

You'd be surprised how many people are influenced to purchase tickets because they're foodies and want to make sure they try X before it goes away. Especially after the first party when everyone is raving about certain items.
