Unfortunately I'm no help at all....This past christmas we had a normal Christmas morning with presents and all....very relaxing.had breakfast...(we are DVC so we have a full kitchen)...then we spent the afternoon at DTD...Gift Cards were burning holes in the kids pockets...

Then in the evening we went to Epcot....very relaxing....


So, I just offer you a bump to the top...

We were there for Christmas Day last year. Best advise I can give is avoid MK. It was full by 10 AM or earlier. If you have your hearts set on going there be prepared to go as soon as it opens; and stay the entire day.

We went to Epcot and had a great time there. We started the day with the Storybook Princess Breakfast in Norway. We found the food, service and Character interaction to be very good. I think we took a break and went back to our resort sometime in the day for a little break; and had no problems getting back in upon our return. That evening we had dinner in Germany's Biergarten followed by the Candle Light Processional. It was incredible! I highly recommend seeing it. Christmas was the perfect time to see it!

It was crowded; but not unbearable at Epcot. Hope this helps you a little with your planning. Have a Great time! It is truly a magical experience!

We will also be there at Christmas time. My DH, DS-10yr and DD 8yr. You know I did not even think about eating that day. Call me crazy or what

Maybe I will try to get one in a few days. Any suggestions on the best one either for breakfast or dinner. Is it cheaper for breakfast or dinner-or does it not matter?

Yeh, I've been stressing over where to eat for the last month. My DH not too excited to e going, so I'm trying to make sure I make all the right choices. I'm not bouncing any ideas off him this time. He's Bah-humbug! So I'm depending on all of you for feedback.

Christmas Day...PSBreakfast (Characters), Ohanna (fun), Whispering Canyon (fun), 50sPT (fun w/traditional meal), or what? The only meal I know we don't want is something fancy. I generally am not a planner. I like to see how I feel each day and decide in the moment so this is real tough.

My son and I will be there Christmas.(He'll be 13 by then)

I'm planning to spend most of the day at MK. I'm hope I'll be able to get a late breakfast PS for Cinderella's Royal Tabe or Cystal Palace. I have no idea where to book Christmas dinner. Maybe 1900 Park Fare or Ohana's? Many DISers posted about doing the sleigh rides from Wilderness Lodge last Christmas. I think that may be a fun thing to do after dinner.

What does Ohana's serve for food? I have 2 fussy eaters. Does this need a PS or not? I have been told the 50 cafe is a real cute place to go and traditional food as well. We were going to eat at the food court at the resort (POP), which is fine with us. For some days we want to get in and out with out too much cash going out and without wasting too much time. Any suggestions?

We'll be at the POP as well Dec 17-31.

Here's the menu for Ohana's. You can find other menus there as well as tons of other information to help plan your trip.

I'm sure they'll add a few traditional items for Christmas. You need a PS for this. Since it's a holiday, they'll require you to hold the PS with a credit card.

My son and I will be at Pop from December 23-27.
