Hey, i'm new to this site
me and my boyfriend (Im 18, he's 23) are going to disneyland in november!!!! I am SO excited!!!
i *LOVE* christmas so this is the best time for us to go!!!
we are staying at HNY for 3 days <3

i was just wondering if anyone could help me with a few things please?

- we love disneyland food, as we are only going for 3 days we are having trouble deciding where to eat for evening meals! We would love to go to annettes diner, cafe mickey, rainforest cafe and king ludwigs(sp?).
would we be allowed to pay to have breakfast in any of these places around 7am? Or do they not do breakfast?
that would help us pick where to have our dinners
- we were planning to have our evening meals when the park closes, in the village (7pm first night & 10pm other 2 nights) would this be too late? And would it be busy??

- when we get to the park in the mornings...where do we start first?!

- is there only one parade through the day in the disney park? Christmas one in mainstreet? What time does that usually show? And the tree ceremony and fantalusion? where are the best places to see these?

sorry for so many questions!!! I Think i am way too excited lol. I love planning, i can't believe i'm actually going!

thankyou for anyone who can help!

Oooh another Christmas visitor .
Cafe Mickey is the only one of your restaurants which does early breakfast, you can pay to have breakfast there (its also a character meal at breakfast ). Just call Disney and add it to your booking. They have 7.30am and 9am timeslots.
If you have dinner at park closing time, it will be busy in the Village (as loads of people will be having the same idea), so you'd be best to choose restaurants you can book in advance for (which you can't at Annettes, Rainforest Cafe or King Ludwigs). If those are your preferred restaurants, you'd be best eating early, before the parks close. You can still eat at 10pm in most restaurants in the Village, it won't be too late (although you may be among the last sittings).

Best thing to do regarding all the parades, shows etc for Christmas, is to wait until the park schedule comes out for Christmas season (it changes slightly each year). This should be available from 8th November. Print it off from the official Disney site, then you can see times etc to give you an idea.

Last year we moved from the lamp-posts right at the start of Main St Usa (thats where they had the tree-lighting ceremony) up to the hub stage for the castle-lighting ceremony. We had great views of both doing this, and these ceremonies were about 20 minutes apart.

That's what we're finding with our trip for next May ~ too many restaurants and not enough evenings!!

Happy planning!

I wouldn't rush to have breakfast anywhere else if I were you - HNY breakfast is one of the best!

Cafe Mickey and Annettes are great, not tried Rainforest or King Ludwicks - I'd definately book a table for Cafe Mickey, as gets very busy. You can't book for Annette's though, but we've never waited too long for a table.

Have fun
