Ten Christmas Party Nights Are Gone. What’s Still Worth Booking in Orlando? | October 20, 2026

Ten of the twenty-five Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party nights are now sold out after opening night on November 8 and November 20 went over the weekend, leaving November 15 and 19 at about $194 as the cheapest nights left. A new Nomad Lounge Passholder offer starts October 20, LEGOLAND Florida has posted Black Friday prices that begin November 18, and Central Florida is in for a sunny, comfortable week as fall break crowds ease.
