Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade 2024 - Main Street U.S.A.
Posted: Saturday November 9, 2024 11:30am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade made its 2024 debut last night during the opening night of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, featuring a brand-new soundtrack.

The new musical arrangement blends traditional holiday favorites with the iconic Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade song, adding a fresh layer of holiday spirit to this fan-favorite Magic Kingdom parade.

While the music and choreography have been updated, the parade floats and character line-up remain largely unchanged. You can still expect to see all the classic faces—like Mickey, Minnie, Anna, Elsa, and Santa Claus—gracing Main Street, U.S.A., decked out in their festive best.


If you want to catch this updated parade, tickets remain available for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, which runs on all party nights throughout the holiday season. For those not attending the party, you can still see the parade this weekend, November 9 & 10, during regular park hours as part of the recordings for the ABC Holiday special.

Can't. They first need to have the brand-new Mickey's Egg-stravaganza Easter parties, followed by the debuting Mickey's Summer-tastic Party. Only then can they think about Halloween parties in early August.

EPCOT today still has the American Adventure Tree and most its its entrance and World Showcase decor up. It is going to be a busy night tonight!

Not Halfway to Halloween. Halfway to Halfway to Halloween. That should be like right now! They should have parties!

They have in the past (though not last year, I don’t think). Some years, there were even special treats that week in April.

Perhaps they’re just a little early for Christmas 2025.

Lol, well a lot more would be better if WDW was like Tokyo lol, but anyway. It is a shame WDW doesn’t do more for Easter.
