According to the reservation calendar, Walt Disney World Annual Passholders can no longer make park reservations for Magic Kingdom on Christmas Day, December 25, 2024.

Christmas Day is a peak attendance period for Walt Disney World

The holiday date has reached capacity for passholders, though reservations remain open for all other parks, including EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom.

Reservations for Magic Kingdom are still available for guests staying at Disney resorts or those with regular theme park tickets. However, passholders hoping to visit Magic Kingdom will need to look to the other parks unless reservations reopen at a later time. Passholders may also be able to park hop to enter Magic Kingdom.

In addition, New Year's Eve, December 31, 2024, is now fully booked for Magic Kingdom for both resort guests and regular theme park tickets. This is typically one of the busiest days of the year at Walt Disney World, as crowds gather to ring in the new year with special entertainment and fireworks. Interestingly, annual passholders are still available on this date at Magic Kingdom.

Securing your park passes early remains the key if you're planning a holiday visit to Magic Kingdom. Keep an eye on the reservation system for potential changes, as availability may fluctuate in the coming weeks.

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.

At least peppermint is palatable and pleasant, at least in moderate quantities. Pumpkin spice is grotesque in any form or quantity.

Peppermint galore, I guess it's to be expected. Looking forward to all the eggnog treats though.

Wow on a random Thursday in October I guess everyone decided to make plans for New Years Eve and Christmas at Walt Disney World.

I’ve always found the party-exclusive food strange. Not many book parties to pay for more food and they lose money by not offering these items all day. Very strange.
