Thanksgiving travelers hoping to add a festive night at Disney World to their holiday plans may be left with a plate full of disappointment after tickets to a popular Magic Kingdom event have sold out.

Tickets to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party on November 25, the night before Thanksgiving, are no longer available at Magic Kingdom in Orlando , Florida , according to the event’s ticketing website .

Tickets for the November 25 event cost $209 per adult (guests over the age of 10) before selling out. However, travelers still have other opportunities to attend the Christmas party around Thanksgiving Day, with tickets available as of Tuesday for November 27 at $219 per adult and November 29 at $214 per adult.

The sellout applies only to the separately ticketed Christmas party, not regular daytime admission to Magic Kingdom. Standard park tickets were still available for November 25 at the time of publication Tuesday.

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party transforms Magic Kingdom into a holiday celebration on select nights in November and December, featuring exclusive entertainment, seasonal treats, festive decorations and experiences not available during regular park hours.

Highlights include Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, featuring Disney characters, holiday floats and Santa Claus, Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration stage show, and Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show.

The after-hours party runs from 7 p.m. to midnight, although ticket holders can enter the park as early as 4 p.m. to enjoy rides and attractions before the festivities begin.

Visitors must purchase a separate ticket to attend the Christmas party, as regular park admission, Park Hopper tickets and annual passes do not include access to the event.

Guests who already have Christmas party tickets for November 25 can attend as planned. Those who missed out can choose another available date or adjust their holiday itineraries.

As of Tuesday, Christmas party tickets were also available for the following December dates: December 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17 and 18.

Travelers planning a Disney World trip for the 2027 holiday season should prepare for a pricier getaway.

A one-day ticket to Magic Kingdom on Thanksgiving Day 2027 is currently listed at $224 per adult, up from $209 this year.

Disney unveiled its 2027 ticket prices earlier this month, with admission reaching a record $229 per adult at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT on the most expensive dates: Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve.
