The Plaza Inn meal actually sounds good. I'm not sure if I will do it or not. It's usually pretty easy for a party of one or two to find a good parade viewing spot. However, the meal actually sounds good for once.

 

[DizMe]

Looking forward to more info on Mrs. Claus tea at GCH

 

[Tinkaboo]

Looking forward to more info on Mrs. Claus tea at GCH

Yes, please!

 

[Tinkaboo]

I think the buffet for Mickey's Christmas Carol feast has stuff I can actually eat!

Plus...Scrooge McDuck! I'm not sure I can pass that up...

I might have to extend my Dapper Day trip another day...

 

[StarlitNight05]

Did we know for sure that fireworks were going to be nightly for the holiday season? I think they usually are, but I wasn't 100% sure since things keep getting cut lately. When I was doing dining reservations today though, I noticed fireworks packages for Monday Nov 17th!

ETA: these were just standard packages for Docking Bay 7 and Tomorrowland Terrace

 

[Pluto468]

What, no meatloaf? Who will buy that parade package now?


I'm most excited for the Christmas Carol dinner but the breakfast with Daisy looks great, too. I hope they have the Tea with Mrs. Claus!

 

[Tink1987]

Looking forward to more info on Mrs. Claus tea at GCH

Did anyone do this last year please? I was wondering if it was more aimed at children?

Thanks

 

[Tinkaboo]

Has anyone been able to book rezzies for Plaza Inn parade on NOV 16? It will be my only chance for that...

I'm seeing the notice that holiday packages open Sept 25 but the dates are showing up on calendar. Maybe they use the same calendar for Minnie breakfast

 

[nerdboyrockstar]

Has anyone been able to book the Christmas Carol feast? Tried this morning but it literally refreshed to show no reservations available.

 

[amyg1975]

Up above it says those reservations will open on October 2nd.

 

[Tinkaboo]

Got a tickler on my calendar for both!

 

[maleficent55]

Carnation cafe appears to be closed during the week of November 17-20
I wonder why!

 

[Pluto468]

Has anyone heard when the Goofy's holiday reservations will open up? If it was posted somewhere else I missed it.
