3 Holiday Dining Experiences Coming to Disneyland Resort Hotels

It’s the most wonderful (and tasty) time of the year! Well, almost. As the holiday season is just around the corner – holiday bites are too. And this year, Disneyland Resort has three that guests won’t want to miss. Santa is even dropping in from the North Pole for one of them.

Guests will be able to indulge in festive fun with Holiday Tea with Santa and Mrs. Claus at Hearthstone Lounge, the adorable Mickey’s Holiday Pajama Party Breakfast and Brunch at Storytellers Cafe, and Goofy’s Kitchen Celebrates the Holidays. All of these yuletide festivities will add an extra holiday touch to guests’ and their families’ festivities. Advanced reservations are highly recommended for all of these tasty outings.

Let’s unwrap these experiences on the way to Disneyland Resort!

First up, we’re jingling all the way over to Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa with Holiday Tea with Santa and Mrs. Claus at Hearthstone Lounge. On select days from Dec. 3 through Dec. 24, 2024, guests will be able to join none other than Santa and Mrs. Claus for a special tea party. But this isn’t an average tea party – Mrs. Claus has been hard at work putting together a tasty selection of holiday-inspired bites.

This elevated holiday experience also features a variety of premium loose-leaf teas, the finest tea sandwiches, and delicately prepared treats to put guests in the spirit of the season. Some of the holly highlights include a caprese salad, shrimp salad, prime Holstein tea sandwiches, truffled Christmas egg, and scones. Guests can enjoy a Classic Tea, Premium Tea, or Deluxe Tea experience, with the Deluxe Tea including strawberries and chantilly cream and a glass of champagne.

Guests should be sure to say hello and grab some photos with their hosts – Santa and Mrs. Claus – before they musthead back to the North Pole for the big day. Guests will be able to enjoy a unique interaction with Santa and Mrs. Claus as they share stories of the joy of holiday baking with family and friends and the fine (and fun) art of sipping tea. Guests may hear “Jingle Bells” play throughout the restaurant during their dining experience!

Bookings open on Oct. 31 for this brand-new, one-of-a-kind experience the whole family will love!

We don’t need to venture far for our next stop on this holiday foodie adventure. This holiday season, Storytellers Cafe at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will host Mickey and his pals in their festive and coziest fashion for Mickey’s Holiday Pajama Party Breakfast and Brunch. From Nov. 19 through Jan. 1, 2025, the gang will be welcoming guests to their pajama party as they feast upon the delicious offerings, including some seasonally themed bites, amid yuletide décor around the dining room. Guests should bring their appetite, and we’ll bring the holiday cheer.

As the sun goes down, guests can also indulge in the Storytellers Cafe Holiday Dinner. While Mickey and friends won’t appear during dinner, there’s still plenty of foodie fun to be had. Taste buds will be more than satisfied with theall-you-care-to-enjoy holiday dinner buffet. For those visiting on Thanksgiving, these can’t-miss experiences can also be enjoyed on Nov. 28, too!

Last, but certainly not least, we’re heading over to the Disneyland Hotel where there’s even more merry moments to be had at Goofy’s Kitchen Celebrates the Holidays. Goofy and his friends have busted out their merry best to welcome guests to this holly, jolly dining experience from Nov. 19 through Jan. 2, 2025.

As they greet everyone throughout the dining room, guests will be able to treat themselves to a selection of delicious bites, including some limited-time holiday delights. Whether joining for breakfast, brunch, or dinner service, Goofy and the team will be bringing the season’s greetings all day long.
