Thanks! I'm not sure about awesome, but I have the info!
It is $50 for the regular tea and $65 for premium, which adds a cocktail and salad.

That's great info! Thank you so much for posting.

Thanks! Booked our first two reservations for the trip! So excited. Taking my girls to the Christmas themed afternoon tea at the DLH. It looks so yummy! Is anyone else doing this?

We are, really looking forward to it! As you say, it looks very yummy and a oppurtunity to take a quick break from
the parks.

As far as I know, Disney hasn't even made a post about special dining offerings for Thanksgiving!

That's only for the Disneyland Hotel though. Many other restaurants in the hotels and parks will have Thanksgiving offerings, and they usually make a detailed post listing them all.

I was checking the park entertainment schedule for Dec and it’s listed on there for the first week of Dec

Thank you so much for the link, I am planning on taking my 2 DDs (16 and 14) to this while we are there. The 3 of us have a tradition to go to the Afternoon tea in WDW each time we visit, I was excited that they have one in DLR and knowing it is Holiday themed just made it that much sweeter . As for DH, he is not invited, but no worries he wouldn't want to go anyways.

Found it thanks.....although I will be escaping the real snow in northern Canada....this sounds magical. Any idea what Wintertime enchantment at the castle might be.

Unfortunately 3rd Jan is when the deluxe annual passholders can re-enter the park after about 3 weeks of being unable to visit so there will be a few people. Mind you the week after that will be even busier as the other annual passes become unblocked. I would suggest you pay for maxpass (or at least use fastpass) and also look into the DAS (Disablity Access Service - see https://disneyland.disney.go.com/au/plan/guest-services/guests-with-disabilities/ ) as this will help reduce the time spent waiting in lines (you still need to wait but it won't be in a line and you can rest in a quiet spot or look at the shops).

The good thing is you are there for 3 days so you can take it slow and if it gets too much then a break back at the hotel might be a good idea. The kids can get tired by mid afternoon and sometimes an afternoon rest allows them to return to the park for a few solid hours in the evening.

Thanks for the info - does it get busy with locals even during the week? I was hoping that Weds and Thurs at least would be quiet-ish!! We last went there 7 years ago just before my older child turned 3. It wasn't crowded at all and we hardly waited in line for anything - mind you, that was late September, not peak season! I guess we will just have to take it as it comes - a busy day at DL is better than a quiet day at work, right!!!!

I did look at the disability access service - not sure if my kiddo would qualify. He does have disability status but it's one of those neurological/hidden disabilities and if you met him on the street you wouldn't even know there was any issue! He can have AMAZING days but if he gets overwhelmed he just shuts down and the day is over (no behaviour issues or meltdowns, he just can't cope - we have purposely avoided going to DL with him for this reason but hoping as he gets older he can learn to regulate!)

I guess I need to start researching maxpass - never even heard of that one before!

My thoughts exactly.... lol

Plenty of schools don't start back until the following Monday (the 8th I believe). If schools are out, and the passes are open after weeks of being off, you should expect very large crowds.

I don't tell you that to scare you, but to prepare you so you have realistic expectations.

Definitely arrive early and plan to take a break if it gets too busy.

Its just the ligting off the castle. If you check youtube you can check it out from previous years.
