Holiday Dining

[DisneyMommy77]

Hello,
I'm looking for suggestions on where to eat at WDW for Christmas Eve, Christmas Dinner and New Year's Eve. It can be either in a park or resort. It doesn't have to serve the traditional holiday foods, but rather just looking for something special/fun. It's our first time visiting this time of year, so I am not sure if certain restaurants change menus or have some great decor that would make it feel extra "Christmasy"
We have eaten at some of the most popular Disney restaurants, but am having a hard time deciding where to spend the actual holidays. We have 3 kids and the youngest will be 3 at the time if that helps.

Thanks!!

These are my picks.....

Biergarten - Christmas Eve
LTT - Christmas Day
Any restaurant around WS (Rose & Crown/Via Napoli at the top of my list) - New Year's Eve

We will be there for Christmas and our Plans are to do Ohana Christmas Eve and Teppan Edo with a candlelight Processional Package on Christmas day (assuming I can snag those reservations at 180 days). We won't be there New Year's Eve but If I was I think I would go for a Epcot Restaurant like PP said.

Thanks. Ohana's does seem like a nice place for Christmas Eve. Epcot for dinner on Christmas Day does seem like a good idea. I don't think we want to be at MK that day. Thanks everyone. If you have any more ideas please share them.

I can't comment on Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve, but we had Christmas dinner at Trattoria al Forno on the Boardwalk in 2015 and it was really lovely. The parks are SO crowded that day. The Boardwalk area was not crowded, the dinner was excellent and then we spent the rest of the evening watching the performers on the Boardwalk. We were in EP earlier in the day and it gets REALLY crowded in WS during Candlelight Processional. If you decide on EP for Christmas dinner, I would avoid any pavilion close to American Gardens where CP is performed. I would focus on Canada (Le Cellier would be nice), UK and France, Mexico and Norway. I really did prefer being out of the parks for dinner though. I would also avoid DS on any of those days. It gets crazy crowded over the holidays.
