Making a return to Magic Kingdom from November 9 through December 22, 2023, Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Dessert Party offers reserved firework viewing and a dessert buffet.

There are two versions of the party, one with firework viewing from the Plaza Gardens on Main Street U.S.A. priced at $99, and one with viewing from the Tomorrowland Terrace priced at $114. Pricing is unchanged from last year.

Reservations open on September 28, 2023 via Disneyworld.com. A valid admission ticket for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party on the same night is required, and is not included in the price of the dessert party.

I have my own name for "AccuWeather": "Inaccuweather."

I had a great time and I think it was ultimately worth the cash for my family of 5. We went on the 19th.

Responding to the two posts above me as to why the parties stop before Christmas.

AylaDec 26, 2023

The last party was Dec 22nd.

I think if they are going to have massive crowds Christmas week, they don't need to double sell park admission. And if you didn't buy G+ to get on rides, you can at least see the holiday parade and fireworks.

Tourism travel has historically dropped off a cliff after New Years. People generally need to get back to life after Christmas.

I’m actually surprised at the shorter window that the Christmas parties have compared to Halloween. Then Halloween parties run slightly past Halloween, where the Christmas parties actually stop a few days before Christmas and they have the parade, fireworks and stage show during regular hours.

I like it more than the Halloween party, too. Glad you had a great time.

My first time at the Christmas party and really enjoyed it. I liked it much more than Halloween. Can’t wait to go back next year.

How is it the last night for MVMCP already?! Looks like it was a great season! Let's hope for a great rest of the year!......

Even with the additional holiday event at Studios this year occurring up to twice a week, MVMCP and Jollywood never occur on the same nights

AylaDec 16, 2023

Thanks. Since it's a pretty much every night thing, I assumed there was one tonight, too.

bmr1591Dec 16, 2023

No party tonight. It’s tomorrow night.

AylaDec 16, 2023

I'd expect tonight's party to be cancelled like the DHS one is, due to weather.
