Are you going to MK on Christmas Eve? Where are you eating?

[mamaprincess]

We are planning on being in MK for Christmas eve and can't figure out where to eat and when. I want to be there at park opening so we can get rides in early and do shows at night. I want to see the parade, Castle lighting Ceremony, the Christmas show and wishes. I'm just trying to figure out how to get dinner in.
1.Should I do grab something early at Mainstreet bakery, snack later and have an early dinner at Crystal Palace (4 or 5) before the night shows begins. Hmmm I really don't want to eat into my morning ride time on such a busy day.

2.Have a CS lunch mid afternoon then go to O'hana (8:00pm) for dinner and Wishes to avoid the night rush after Wishes. I don't know if I want to leave the parks because wishes is magical in the park, but O'hana would be pretty magical for Christmas eve dinner,

3.should I do lunch at Crystal Palace (12:00pm or so) so that we can have a mid day break and be loose about dinner(CS) since night time is so crowded with shows, snack as needed?

Decisions, decisions. Opinions?

If you want to have a late meal or see the fireworks from inside MK, don't leave the park, you may not get back in if it closes for capacity.

You may have to decide if you want to stay from rope drop through fireworks or not, but if you leave and the park closes for capacity you will not be let back in even if you have an ADR.
