Christmas Party Dates for 2016 Released

[Tom P.]

On the heels of my post yesterday about the Halloween Party dates, it looks as though Disney has quietly released the dates for the Christmas party as well. I haven't seen any news stories about it yet, but they're up on the official Walt Disney World web site.

The number of party nights has stayed roughly the same -- 20 last year, 21 this year -- but they have pushed the date of the last party closer to Christmas. Last year, the final party was on December 18th. This year it is on December 22nd.

Here's the link to the page at the Disney web site. Click on the "Show More" option under the "Here Come Mickey and Santa" section to see the list of dates.

Yay! I'm super excited about the Christmas party!

Yay my Holiday fits in with these dates

Does any one know when the pricing will be released?

Although with the price of current ticketed events I'm going to budget around $150 per person

So sad we won't be going this year. I hope others have a great time.

There are no dates showing on this link.

Oooh, that's interesting. It was there this morning. Now it says to check back later for the schedule. I wonder why.

 

[k8Davies]

oooh that is strange as when I looked earlier it had them starting, if I remember rightly, on the 8th November

Well as long as they have a date before the 16th November I should be able to fit it in on my trip

It was posted yesterday evening on Rumors thread by @rteetz & a few other threads. Interesting it's on Disney website but wasn't on DPB today.

Looks like the dates are back now.

• November 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 18, 27 and 29
• December 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 18 and 22

This is a bummer because we don't want to do the Christmas party and our trip is Nov. 7-12. Looks like we will only get one late night at MK.

Yeah - you and all the other non-party goers! We'll be there the week after you. Granted, we'll have more opportunities to do MK at night than you, but it is still very frustrating...

Exactly. That one night will be crazy packed. Boo.

wow didn't clock that they are on most night of my second week as I was just so happy that I could go this year.

So can't really complain but this will cut into the nights I can go to MK and @heywagners got a good point that the nights it's not on could end up being crazy.

Think I'll need to front load MK nights into my first week and in the second week book a California Grill visit to make sure I get enough Fireworks watching in.

How quick do these parties typically sell out? We are hoping to attend 2 not so scary parties and 2 christmas parties. For Halloween were trying to go the 30th and 31st (which I'm jumping on as soon as tickets release), and then for Christmas were trying to attend the 10th and 13th. I'm making most of my reservations next month as we're splitting stays but I'm unsure if I can fit all 4 parties into my budget for next month and was hoping to wait on the christmas ones until may or june. Do you think they will be sold out by then?

It really depends on the date. The 30th and 31st usually sell out first. I find the Halloween party to be more popular so those sell out quicker. The Christmas party you probably will be fine getting.

It will also depend on the price - at $87 (or less) per person, these parties sold out last year pretty quickly...if a large price jump happens, they may not sell out nearly so quickly...

Will more dates be added? We planned to go on Sunday November 20 before heading to the cruise on Monday. I never imagined they wouldn't have one that Sunday night. We have gone before on a Sunday.

Thank you for posting! I was looking at last years dates t plan our December trip. WE will have two nights that are non party nights during our stay, and there is no way I will be trying to go the Saturday befoe Christmas! So really one opportunity to see Wishes and the evening entertainment.
