Hi Wayne,
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! We truly appreciate it when guests like you return with more great questions. I'm so glad to hear you are planning a holiday visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth! You and I are in the same boat watching and waiting for
Highway in the Sky Dine Around dates to be released for the end of the year.
I have not been fortunate enough to attend Highway in the Sky Dine Around but my husband and I are hoping to find a reservation during a trip to celebrate our anniversary this fall. We have dined at the monorail resorts but the thought of a progressive dinner visiting
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort,
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and
Disney's Contemporary Resort is irresistible. Particularly when you travel as a group in a private
Monorail car and the event culminates with desserts and a fabulous view of the fireworks at
Magic Kingdom Park.
I spoke with a Cast Member and confirmed that dates should be released closer to six months before your desired dates. They also mentioned that because this is a dining event, sometimes the dates lag a bit behind. At this time, there is no reason to believe they won't have the Highway in the Sky Dine Around on Christmas Eve but we cannot be certain until the dates are released. I hope it will be available for you because it sounds like an incredible way to celebrate the holidays!
Wayne, thank you again for visiting us with another question. I hope you will let us know if we can help you with any other planning questions before your visit.
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Amy H.
