Pro Tip
For the 2026 party, we recommend experiencing the treat stations/holiday twist attractions/meet and greets and photo opportunities around the park. THEN head toward the castle (hub) a little before the 10pm fireworks. Watch the fireworks and as the crowd thins out and many leave the park head down Main Street USA to get a spot for the parade.
The Cast Members came out before the parade and hyped up the crowd which was fun to experience. Also, on Main Street USA is where the snow takes place.
