Disney announced that Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade will run during regular Magic Kingdom operating hours in November 2026, marking a shift from its traditional evening-only schedule. The parade will be filmed for an ABC holiday special during select dates, allowing all park guests to experience the full Christmas entertainment rather than only those attending special ticketed events. The announcement came Oct. 21-22 as Disney revealed the specific filming dates for the holiday programming at the Florida resort.
