In just under one month, the Holidays will kick off at Walt Disney World Resort, with the Spirit of the Season beginning November 12. However, one particular holiday celebration will begin a few days before the official Christmas kickoff. Disney Very Merriest After Hours — the replacement for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party — will begin on November 8 and run through December 21.

Disney Very Merriest After Hours will feature a number of exciting events, including Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade and Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks. However, Disney did not think that that was enough Christmas magic and is now going to be offering even more special events at the new party.

Disney Parks Blog shared more about what would be coming:

Disney Very Merriest After Hours just got even merrier, with “Mickey & Minnie’s Very Merry Memories” joining the lineup of event-exclusive entertainment. Guests attending Disney Very Merriest After Hours, a separately ticketed event at Magic Kingdom Park taking place on 24 select nights Nov. 8 – Dec. 21, 2021, are invited to join Mickey and his pals for a celebration filled with music, dancing and nostalgic yuletide fun. Presented on the Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage, the show features nods to classic Magic Kingdom holiday stage shows, including “Mickey’s Twas the Night Before Christmas,” “Celebrate the Season” and “Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration.”

The new stage show — Mickey & Minnie’s Very Merry Memories — will combine popular stage shows from holiday seasons past in order to create the ultimate magical celebration. Mickey & Minnie’s Very Merry Memories will mark the first time that a stage show has returned to Magic Kingdom since the theme parks were forced to shut down in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
