If you want to spend the final hours before the arrival of Santa Claus grabbing a bite at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel or theme park, you’re in luck, as Christmas Eve dining reservations at restaurants across Walt Disney World Resort open tomorrow (October 25).
Christmas Eve Dining Reservations at Walt Disney World Resort
Walt Disney World dining reservations are available to schedule at table service restaurants 60 days in advance. This means that Christmas Eve dining reservations will open across restaurants at Walt Disney World Resort hotels and parks on October 25. The new reservations window opens daily at approximately 6:00 a.m. ET, according to the official Walt Disney World website.
Additionally, Christmas Day dining reservations will formally open on October 26, while New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day dining reservations will open on November 1 and 2, respectively.
Guests can secure dining reservations through the My Disney Experience mobile app or on the official Walt Disney World website.

Offerings at the party include Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks, Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration stage show in front of Cinderella Castle, Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, and the “Frozen Holiday Surprise,” a new “Frozen”-inspired show that will be offered during both the party and regular park hours.

Disney Jollywood Nights will be a separately ticketed adults-only holiday celebration at Disney’s Hollywood Studios; offerings include event-exclusive food and beverage options, exclusive stage shows, and elegant parties at both The Hollywood Brown Derby Restaurant and outside The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror attraction.
