Disney4me Posted 10 hours ago Report Posted 10 hours ago We love Disney World rides, but we love them even more when there’s a special holiday overlay. They make the rides even more special and take our favorites to another level. Space Mountain Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party runs on select nights till December 22nd in Magic Kingdom and requires a special after-hours ticket. With that magical ticket, you get access to exclusive entertainment, snacks, characters, and of course, rides! While tons of rides open during the party usually have low wait times, a select few have a Christmas overlay that makes them extra special. Some are only available during the party, so if ride overlays are your jam, prioritize certain rides. First up, catch Space Mountain. It features high-energy holiday music, and the inside lights are red and green. It might be the same track, but the lights give it a totally different feel. The overlay starts at 7 PM, when the party starts. Space Mountain during Mickey’s Very Merry You can also hop on the Tomorrowland Speedway’s Race Through the Holidays. Take a scenic ride to see Christmas lights and listen to music. It’s the same vibe as driving to see houses decorated in your neighborhood, but in a convertible with a jerky brake system. This also starts around 7 PM. Tomorrowland Speedway Another option: once 7 PM hits, the Mad Tea Party plays one of four holiday combos of lights and music! Everything is a little red and green, and you get just as dizzy, but you’re listening to Christmas songs, so it’s so much better. Mad Tea Party The Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor also puts on a seasonal show! I mean, who doesn’t love holiday jokes and changing ha ha ha into ho ho ho? Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor The most popular is the Jingle Cruise. The Jungle Cruise gets a whole overlay with Christmas lights and decorations, and the Skippers tell holiday-themed jokes. Something important to note here is that the Jungle Cruise is also available during the day and runs through the holiday season until early January. You probably don’t want to spend your precious party time waiting for something you can experience during he day at Magic Kingdom, but if you catch the wait times while they’re low, it’s always a lot of fun!
