Hiya, Meredith, and welcome to planDisney! It sounds like you're planning an exciting holiday visit to Walt Disney World Resort! If you're already thinking about how to enjoy Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party as well as eat some good food during your visit, we have a lot in common!
Meredith, you'll be happy to know that you can use a quick-service meal from your dining plan during
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at dining locations like
Casey's Corner and
Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe. While I'm 100% in favor of eating delicious meals at Walt Disney World Resort, my strategy changes a bit on days when I'm attending an after-hours party. I like to eat a large meal before I enter the party, which means I'm eating a big dinner around 3:00pm. I realize that might sound crazy, but bear with me. You can typically head into the parks well in advance of the official party start time - as early as 4:00pm. I highly recommend taking full advantage of that time and getting the most out of your party ticket! You'll find that there are so many unique seasonal snacks to try, in addition to the fun cookies that are included with your admission, so you might be able to snack your way through the party without needing a traditional dinner!
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is going to be so much fun this year!
Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas Parade is sure to help you get into the holiday spirit, and
Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show will be the perfect way to celebrate. Dance parties, festive entertainment, and more await you!
Meredith, I hope you have the very best time during your holiday visit to Walt Disney World Resort. Please stop back by planDisney with any other questions you have as you prepare for your visit!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
