Hi George,
Thank you so much for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. I love
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party! From seeing characters decked out in their holiday finest to the magical winter holiday entertainment including Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, this party is a great addition to your winter holiday enjoyment of Walt Disney World.
While a meal at
Cinderella's Royal Table is lovely, I think that I agree with you. A meal here would take a decent amount of the party time, and there is so much not to miss at the party. I like your idea of grabbing a quick meal somewhere before the party, and then really focusing on the party activities when you are there. Perhaps you could dine at Cinderella's Royal Table another time if you are planning to head to Magic Kingdom on another day as well. Of course, if you choose to dine there on the night of the party, I am sure that you will have an enchanting experience.
I hope that these thoughts are helpful for you, George! Have a great time planning your magical vacation, and please do let us know if you have any further questions.
