Christmas Special Events Thread

Are we sure these holiday meals will really run through 1/7? Last year the holiday versions ended on New Year's Day (I think).

 

[V & S]

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

Thanks

My husband and I went last year. This year, we'll be there in November, though. I think it starts 12/2 this year, until Christmas Eve. It was wonderful. I dream about it. The sandwiches and desserts were very, very good--and the tea itself is high quality. The space is festive and beautiful. We were seated in a corner alcove by the window, which was great. China, linens. Santa and Mrs Claus were fantastic! Every table is called over separately to sit & chat & take pics with them for a few minutes. There is bell ringing and singing. Really one of my favorite Disney experiences of all time. We got our res only 3 days ahead (someone must have cancelled with moments to spare to get a refund). If you enjoy afternoon tea, you will not be disappointed. It's wondrous.

This sounds wonderful! Now I want to change my dates so I can go to the tea lol

Well, looks like Goofy's and the parade didn't drop at 6! I'll keep checking throughout the day.

WAAAAAAH!!!!! I was hoping it would be open in November. I'm sad we won't get to do it, but thank you for the info! It sounds great. I did a tea a long time ago at Disneyland Hotel in Steakhouse 55 and we loved it

Thank you so much! You’ve really sold this to me

I'm not sure what time the reservations opened, but I got my Goofy's Holiday brunch and also booked the Parade package.

Thank you for the heads up

I'll assume around 10 AM because I checked this morning again and it was not open yet

Got my parade package just now...on Dapper Day! Now, for the Christmas dinner and Uncle Scrooge!

I got it for that day, too, Tinkaboo! I'm not sure if I'll keep it, it depends on what time the second parade is since I'm already trying to see Fantasmic that night. The Christmas dinner is what I want to do most! I wish these holiday events all started on the 14th, it's tricky fitting them into 1 1/2 days.

Goofy’s isn’t showing reservations for thanksgiving. I was on before and at 6am PT, so I don’t think it’s sold out. Any idea if maybe they won’t open on Thanksgiving? Thanks

EDIT: NM. Just saw that doesn’t open until 10/9.
