Hey there, Donna! Thanks for sending your questions to us at planDisney!
It makes my planning heart so happy that you're getting prepared for your visit to Walt Disney World Resort well in advance! December is the most magical time of year at Walt Disney World. From the extravagant holiday decor to the delicious holiday-themed treats, it can bring out the Christmas spirit in anyone!
To answer your first question, the beloved
'Ohana bread pudding is a recipe specific to that particular restaurant. It can only be found at 'Ohana. However,
Raglan Road™ Irish Pub and Restaurant is also home to a fabulous bread pudding of their own! If you plan to visit
Disney Springs during your stay, this bread pudding may hit the spot!
After you've satisfied your craving for bread pudding, it will be time to travel over to Magic Kingdom Park for the
Disney Very Merriest After Hours event! I was lucky enough to score tickets to this after-hours event last month and it was an absolute fairytale! Seeing the snowfall on Main Street, U.S.A. was truly magical.
Donna, you will not need to purchase a park ticket or make park reservations on the night you attend Disney Very Merriest After Hours. Since the after-hours event is an additional purchase, that is all you will need to attend. When I attended this past December, after-hours Guests were permitted to enter Magic Kingdom Park at 7 p.m., even though the event itself did not start until a few hours later. The details have not yet been released for 2022, so be sure to confirm the time of entry when tickets become available for purchase.
It is important to note that if you would like to enter Magic Kingdom Park earlier than the time permitted with your after-hours ticket, you will need to purchase an additional theme park ticket and make a park reservation using the
Disney Park Pass Reservation System.
I hope I've helped guide you in the right direction, Donna!
Have a magical day,
Ashley
