Does it still snow on Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom during the holidays?

As someone who grew up in the sunny state of Florida, where snow was more of a myth than a reality, I can’t help but feel a tinge of nostalgia when I think about the magical “snow” on Main Street, U.S.A. at Disney World. It was a magical experience that I wish every child could enjoy without having to open their wallets.

Grew up in Florida, but one childhood memory that still stands out is visiting Disney World and watching it “snow” on Main Street, U.S.A. Being a local, I hadn’t ever seen actual snowfall, so those enchanting bubbles were the closest approximation for me.

Adorning Main Street, U.S.A. with lights and festive decorations was enchanting, but the magical snow effect truly made it perfect. It was a remarkable encounter, one I wish every child could enjoy.

Unfortunately, Disney has found a way to profit off this experience.

Does it still snow at Magic Kingdom during the holidays?

At Magic Kingdom’s Main Street, U.S.A., it may still technically snow, but Disney no longer restricts this sight with a paid event admission. To witness snowfall during the festive season at Walt Disney World now, you need to attend Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.

This event, happening only on specific nights in November and December, is brimming with holiday cheer and thrill. Special parades, performances, sweet treats, and even real snowflakes are part of the experience. However, it does come at a cost – tickets priced between $179 to $219.

Indeed, snowfall continues on Main Street in the Magic Kingdom during the festive season, specifically during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. If you yearn to relive the enchanting, snow-kissed moments I cherished as a child, be prepared to pay for the privilege now.

Generally, snow falls at different locations overnight, but the optimal moments to witness it are during Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade and Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show.

Where to see snow for free at Walt Disney World

If you’re eager to witness snow at Walt Disney World, there’s a cost-free alternative—at least it was in previous years. The Town Center area of Disney Springs often experiences “simulated snowfall.” This usually takes place between 6 and 10 pm.

At Hollywood Studios, you’ll find the Sunset Seasons Greetings show too. This is a nightly spectacle where the Hollywood Tower Hotel gets adorned with festive decorations during the holidays. In the past, it even snowed on Sunset Boulevard as part of this show. Now, given that Disney Jollywood Nights are being held in the park, they might also control the snowfall for added magic.
