Disney dining
Three holiday character meals run Nov 16–Jan 3—Goofy's Kitchen, Daisy's Holiday Pajama Party, and Mickey's Christmas Carol Feast—but two share one Grand Californian kitchen, so tables vanish fast. Disney hasn't set the reservation date yet, which is exactly why you want a plan ready now. |
Park strategy
The trick most guests miss: during Early Entry only Tomorrowland and Fantasyland open, so on-site and off-site guests should walk in opposite directions. On-site sprints to Seven Dwarfs and TRON; off-site heads away from the crowd toward a walk-on Big Thunder Mountain. |
