Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade Arrives for Magic Kingdom Day Guests in Early November 2024

Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade - Christmas Day Parade version
Posted: Thursday October 24, 2024 1:11p ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

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.

That’s…special. Should’ve come down when Festival of the Holidays ended.

EPCOT still has holiday decor up today on day one of Festival of the Arts.

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.
