Partygoers will be allowed to enter as early as 4 p.m., with celebrations officially commencing at 7 p.m. and extending to midnight. Admission grants access to treat stations dispensing complimentary cookies and cocoa, holiday-themed attractions, rare character meet‑and‑greets, and exclusive merchandise. (It should, however, be noted that tickets for the special event are separate from regular park entry tickets.)
Tickets go on sale July 16 for guests planning to stay at select Disney resorts, Swan & Dolphin hotels, and Shades of Green, while general public access will open on July 22. Expect prices to run you approximately $169–$229 per ticket, with slight variations based on date/demand. Discounts will be available for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members.
