Details have now been revealed for the 2015 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom, and it looks like it is going to be a lot of fun yet again. Many of the happenings are the same from recent years, but there are some changes here and there so know what’s coming your way this holiday season.
UPDATE #2 (Oct. 28, 2016 – 10:30 a.m.): It appears as if the email sent out to all Disney Travel Planners/Agencies on Tuesday was wrong. Sources from within Magic Kingdom has said that this year’s castle lighting theme is still Frozen. While some dialogue may have changed a little from last year, it is still Frozen characters, and rehearsals are underway already.
The information sent out via email by Disney was incorrect.
UPDATE #1 (Oct. 27, 2015 – 8 p.m.): Some have messaged me saying that the Frozen Holiday Wish is indeed returning and that the information released below by Disney is incorrect. The information below is directly from Disney on Oct. 27, 2015, in an email sent out. The official Walt Disney World website has also been changed to show the Fairy Godmother’s return instead of Frozen Holiday Wish.
Here is a screenshot from Oct. 27, 2015. Guess all we can do is wait and see.
Also, the official calendar on the Disney website shows Frozen Holiday Wish happening on party nights at 8 p.m., but nothing happening on any other nights. Please check Update #2 above.
Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmastime Parade
It’s a holiday parade brimming with cheer! Gingerbread men, elves and others dance down Main Street, U.S.A. with favorite Disney Characters. Plus, Santa joins in the fun to wish Guests a “Merry Christmas!” from his colorful sleigh!
Holiday Wishes: Celebrate the Spirit of the Season

Castle Dream Lights on Cinderella Castle
As a gift to Cinderella, the Fairy Godmother waves her wand, and with a bibbidi-bobbidi-boo enchants the castle with sparkling white lights. Magnificent icicles seem to form instantly over the parapets and towers of the royal palace, as the lights wink and shimmer to a medley of heartwarming Disney tunes.
Note: The information about the “Castle Dream Lights” is what was sent out via an official Disney email, but sources within Magic Kingdom state it is a Frozen-themed show again this year.

They are *not* going back to Fairy Godmother. The Disney Experience website had the Fair Godmother information last year even though it was replaced by Frozen. They just haven’t updated their Christmas Party page.
As proof, if you go to the MK list of activities starting Nov 5, you’ll see the Frozen Castle-Lighting show listed at 6:15 PM each night. That gets repeated during the MVMCP.
Peace.
Updated with that info…the emails sent out to all travel agencies also stated a Fairy Godmother return.
Yeah, this is all Disney’s fault in not updating their cut-and-paste pages from the previous years’ events.
The email they sent you simply had a link or a cut-and-paste of the MVMCP page, which was incorrect last year. What you screenshot is exactly what was in the description last year, which was indeed incorrect since last year it wasn’t the Godmother show but the Frozen show. So, the website wasn’t changed to show the Godmother show, it never was changed last year to show the Frozen show.
While it is possible that they’re going back to the Godmother show, it ain’t likely giving the popularity of Frozen.
Check out this page and look at the 6:15 PM slot. It shows the Frozen show:
