Last year we did CM for breakfast/brunch and we did WCC for dinner. It was cool sitting there with the HUGE Chrstmas tree at WL. THey did have special holiday menu. It was a special skillet with turkey, chicken, brisket, and pork with all the trimmings. It was yummy! The dessert was a yule log that was yucky but it was cool because we went to epcot later and got mickey bars.

This year we are planning on doing Ohana we have our fingers crossed for reservations a little over a month to go before ADR Day!

What about Liberty Tree Tavern in MK?

I really liked Biergarten for Christmas Eve/Christmas when I was there in 2006 and 2007. They do a special holiday show in place of their normal one. They also have some special holiday foods, including ham and some other things I can't remember. It was really nice and the show really made it a very nice meal.

Unless you are planning on getting to MK for rope drop and plan on staying for the duration, I recommend not dining in the MK.MK is the park that tends to close to capacity on Xmas , and pretty early in the day.If the MK does a phase 4 closing, unless you are already in the park, you are not going to be allowed in for your adr, even with a Credit card guarantee, even with written proof.I lived it and learned it the hard way

We have been to wdw for the past 4 xmas weeks(either there for xmas/eve day or NYE/day. For xmas eve we did CP and ate at Le Cellier and it really makes a wonderful holiday experience(the holiday storytellers at Epcot really make the holiday also. We do not go to a park on the holiday(especially MK- it closed to all guests by 10am and then you would have to wait to enter as crowds exit-even if you have an adr, if its at max they will not let you in); we have had late breakfast at 1900f(around 10:45-to see the decorations and the gingerbread house) and the gone to DTD or a movie and late dinner at Artist Point at WL one year..the decorations are great and the fireplace is perfect;the other year we did the same breakfast and then went to CG for 9:00pm dinner adr and watched wishes from there. Both of those holiday meal scenarios were great.
