Seasons Greetings, Lorraine! How wonderful to have you here at planDisney and thank you for sharing this question with us.
What an incredible gift to share a
Christmas Day celebration with your loved ones at 'The Happiest Place on Earth!' I can't imagine anything more magical. My absolute favorite restaurant on the Disneyland Resort property is
Napa Rose, located at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa. Between December 6, 2024 and December 30, 2024 this restaurant will feature a holiday prix fixe Vintner’s Table Menu, which I highly recommend! I have truly never had a dish that I didn't rave about, and I can only imagine that the holiday seasonal items are spectacular, too.
If you prefer buffet dining, I also love
Storyteller's Cafe (just a few steps away from Napa Rose). This dining location will feature an all-you-care-to-enjoy holiday dinner buffet with items including braised beef short ribs, a prime rib carving station, a pasta station, seasonal soups and small plates, and more. I really shouldn't be looking at the menu on an empty stomach, because it is truly delectable!
Lorraine, my best recommendation for securing a highly-coveted Christmas Day dining reservation is to book as soon as you can.
Table service dining reservations will open online and on the
official Disneyland mobile app 60 days before your visit. So, in the case of December 25, you'll be able to make reservations starting this very weekend! I recommend checking the reservation system very early in the morning. I have had success logging-in around 6 AM, PST so I hope you are able to secure the perfect holiday dining reservation for your trip, Lorraine! If we can help with any other ideas, inspiration, or recommendations for a magical holiday visit, please come back and see us again, here at
planDisney. We'd love to help.
Merriest wishes,
Tishra
