Disney World’s 2026 holiday parties are almost here. We’re breaking down Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Disney Jollywood Nights and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party—including 2026 dates, ticket prices, entertainment, attraction overlays and what’s new this year.

In Episode 145 of Disney Hour Express, we explain what each separately ticketed event includes and share our experience attending all three parties. You’ll hear our best strategies for early entry, lower ride waits, trick-or-treat trails, complimentary cookies, rare characters and finding a good parade-viewing spot.

We also compare the three Disney World holiday parties and discuss whether the experience justifies tickets that can cost more than $200 per person. If you could only attend one—or needed to eliminate one—which party should you choose?

Whether you’re planning a Halloween trip or visiting Walt Disney World during Christmas, this guide will help you decide which 2026 Disney holiday party is best for your family.
