A Christmas Fantasy Parade Dining Package
Let's chat about the Plaza Inn Dining Package for the Christmas Fantasy Parade. (Note: Although this post features the holiday menu and information about the holiday parade "A Christmas Fantasy," the process is the same for whichever parade dining package is being offered throughout the year. Pricing and menu options may vary. ) Photos and exact meal information are from Christmas 2022 and are subject to change. We will update this post with more current information when it is available, but this can give you a general idea what to expect.
COST:
This package costs $45 per adult and $25 for children ages 3-9.
Children under three can share your plate and are welcome to join you in the preferred seating area without credentials that night. Magic Key Discounts do apply.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
The dining package includes an entree, sides, drink and dessert and is a great value. The reason the parade dining package is such a good use of funds is because it really is a delicious filling meal (entree, sides, drink and dessert), you can do it earlier in the day when you are ready for a break and come back later in the evening for your viewing time, Magic Key discounts apply, and it saves you tons of time waiting for a good spot for the parade which gives you more time to enjoy the parks!***

To reserve your dining spot, make sure to start checking for reservations 60 days before you plan to dine. These reservations can be hard to come by so be on your toes! If you are already within your 60 day window, just make sure to keep an eye on reservation availability often, since people can cancel anytime leading up to the day of their reservation. Go here to explore reservation options: https://disneyland.disney.go.com/.../plaza-inn-dining.../
If you STILL haven't managed to score a reservation when it's time to dine, you can always head in right as lunch starts on the day you'd like to do it and see if they have any open slots available. (Just remember, be KIND to cast members. They have no control over this type of thing and it's always best to be patient and kind, even if it feels frustrating when you are there and stressed out in the park!)
***TIP: When heading to the preferred seating area, plan to arrive a few minutes before the arrival time listed on your ticket. People will start queuing up in advance, and the first handful of people in the viewing area will get to sit along the curb instead of standing. The reserved area is located across from the Train Station at the end of Main Street USA.
