We are headed back to Walt Disney World Resort December 10 to 13, and this trip is built around the Christmas parties. We have tickets for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party on December 10 and Disney Jollywood Nights on December 12, we are staying at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, and our one full park day is EPCOT on December 11.
When the party foodie guide came out, we went through it item by item and built our watchlist. We also covered the new food offerings for both parties in a video on our YouTube channel. This is not a review yet, because we have not tasted any of it. This is our game plan, and we will update this post after the parties with what was worth it and what we would skip.
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, December 10
At Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe, three items made our list. The Carne Asada Loaded Fries are the savory stop we are most curious about. The Tostada de Nochebuena is on the list too, and we are finishing at Pecos Bill with the Pluto Reindeer Cake.
At Pinocchio Village Haus, we are looking for the Snowflake Ornament. It is one of the prettiest items in this year's guide and the one we most want a photo of before we take a bite.
At Cinderella's Royal Table, the Hazelnut Carriage Cake is on our list. Anything shaped for Cinderella's carriage at Christmas is getting tried at least once.
At Golden Oak Outpost, the Gingerbread Cheesecake Beignets are a must. Gingerbread and cheesecake in a warm beignet sounds like the most Christmas dessert on the whole list.
At Aloha Isle, we are getting the Pomegranate Yule Float. Aloha Isle stays open until 11 PM on party night, so it makes a good late stop, and the Spring Roll Cart stays open until 10 PM if we need one more savory bite.
One note from the guide. Prices were not listed when it was published, so we will add what we actually paid when we update this post after the party.
Disney Jollywood Nights, December 12
Our Jollywood Nights plan starts with the keepsake, because this year's is a good one. Every ticket includes a metal Chip 'n' Dale wreath ornament on a gold ribbon, and you pick it up near the park entrance at the end of the night, so there is no carrying it around all evening. That little wreath is coming home with us.
Staying at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort makes this night easy, since the Disney Skyliner connects the resort with Disney's Hollywood Studios. After a late party night, a short and pretty ride home is hard to beat.
Follow along, then read the update
We will be posting from both party nights, and the updated version of this post will have our real verdicts, the prices we paid, and the one item we would tell you to get if you only buy one thing.
Thinking about a Christmas trip of your own next year? Party tickets, the right resort, and a food plan like this one are exactly what we help with. Send us your dates and we will plan it with you.
