Minnie's Holiday Dine at Hollywood & Vine

What do you all think about whether Hollywood & Vine will be "festive" enough for a holiday meal? I know Minnie and friends will be in their new holiday costumes, but will the restaurant also be decorated for the season?

This is our family's first trip to WDW, and I'm thinking of booking a dinner with Minnie during our trip in early December. We've never dined at Hollywood & Vine, and we like the holiday menu, but is the '50s style diner/cafeteria theme "festive" enough?

I didn't read through all 142 page, so I'll apologize if this has been answered. I have a reservation at H&V on a night that they offer the Minnie event, but my dining time is 7:20 pm and it doesn't mention that it is the Minne dining. I don't want the Fantasmic! dining package, but I'd love to dine with the characters. Will they still be there at my dining time? Anyone know? If not, I'll give Disney a call today.

From what I understand, all dinners are Holiday and Dine during that time, so yes, you should get the experience, just without F!

cool. I only had to go back two pages! Thanks!

I know someone started a thread about the new Jungle Cruise restaurant..can someone post the link? I'm not sure how many pages back it was.

Yep, or the Mac N Cheese. Anything with lobster has to be good too

I have a reservation for Hollywood and Vine at 5:45pm on November 15th. Will this be part of Minnie's Dine or will it just be a regular Hollywood and Vine experience? I understand that Fantasmic will not be included no matter what.

Yes, it will be the Holiday Dine.

Holy crap!! Lobster, bourbon, and a chocolate fountain!? I'm in!

This sounds like a great character meet & greet opportunity, but I'm guessing it'll be a 2-credit meal.

It'll be a tough decision whether to see the Jr. characters for lunch or classic ones for dinner!

It's just a one credit!! I got the fantasmic package!

How in the world have I totally missed the boat on this??? It's a 140+ page thread for goodness sakes! It's been a while since I wanted a reservation so badly that I would stalk the reservation system, but I will for this one. It's just going to be two of us, so I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed, but definitely won't be getting my hopes up

I know, I just decided to go down for a weekend to see the Osborne lights one more time and would love to do the Minnies Holiday Dine, I wonder how much chance there will be that we will find openings?

Check after fastpasses. People will be cancelling and moving reservations to accommodate hard to get fastpasses.

I make a DVC room reservation beginning on 1/2 the other day and last night there was availability for early dinner ADR's for both the 2nd & 3rd of January for 2 people. So don't give up hoping. Waiting to see what the deal is with the Dessert Party to decide which reservation I' ll keep if either.

 

[Cluelyss]

I'm sure I'm not the only one holding multiple ADRs until the CP schedule is finalized....I'm sure you'll be able to find a ressie once we get closer. Definitely keep an eye out around the 60 and 45 day marks, and the days additional CP narrators are announced.

Paying bills and what not, and decided to check "one more time" before logging off. Got a Hollywood and Vine for 7:15 on 12/4!!!

I have to admit, it makes me a little nervous knowing that Minnie's Dinner is only listed from 4:30 to 6:30, but I'm trusting you all that I'll still get the holiday characters, some lobster mac and cheese (yum!), and will only miss out on the pass for F!

So.... we booked online on the day it came out for just the standard non-Fantasmic package. It showed that on MDE for about a month now. Now all of a sudden it shows as the F! package AND MDE doesn't show the regular dinner anymore.. just shows the F! package. Also looked to see if this would be covered with 1 or 2 TS credits... still shows 1.

Anyone else see this?

 

[agwood123DLFerguson]

I believe all Minnie dinners are just 1 TS credit whether you have the FP or not.
