Outside the parks what’s the best place for Christmas Eve dinner?

There are a ton of great options - do you have food/atmosphere/price/location preferences?

Location price not an issue. Like all food. Looking for the most festive or traditional “feels like Christmas “.

When you ask “ outside the parks” Do you want Disney Springs ?
On property off property… Universal ?
Sorry but give us something …
Otherwise I got no idea

We'll also be at WDW Christmas week and I was leaning towards Sanaa for Christmas Eve and after dinner taking in the holiday decorations at both AKL and AKV Kidani. AKL is a lovely resort during the holidays and IMO rivals WL.

I'd pick Narcoossee's. Beautiful restaurant, great food and service, the Grand Floridian lobby is something to behold at Christmas with the life-sized gingerbread house, could do a monorail tour of other resorts before or after dinner, and if timed correctly, Narcoossee's offers a great view of the MK fireworks.

Talking Disney Property or Springs inside the bubble just not parks

I never been at Christmas but I have done Boma for Thanksgiving multiple times. They have Turkey plus their normal buffet.

Where are you staying? I would choose somewhere I did not have to drive or bus to in order to avoid traffic. We usually stay at boardwalk so I’d book Bluezoo or Flying Fish both are walkable.

I would probably pick Whispering Canyon - it's on the casual side, but the food is very good and traditional, plus you will be right next to the WL lobby which is absolutely stunning at Christmas. If you want something more upscale, I would head over to GF and do Narcoosee's or Citricos.

Actually we will be a Boardwalk!

Flying Fish is SO good! If you like Italian food, Il Mulino at the Swan is also very good.

Whispering Canyon or Artist Point. WL is my favorite Christmas-themed resort, and if I'm not staying there, I will book dining at WC so before or after dinner, I can hang out in the main lobby and Carolwood Pacific Room, enjoying the Christmas decorations and music.

oak grilled filet mignon and lobster…
I would want to know what’s on the dessert menu too !

Every year , I try to remember the Christmas Cookie and milk platter served at Jock Lindsay’s at Disney Springs !
I wish it was egg nog !
