Walt Disney World has released menus for the holiday season with new drinks, appetizers, entrees, desserts and snacks for Christmas 2024 in Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Disney Springs, and the resort hotels. This food guide dispenses with dish details, plus photos and info about the holiday offerings coming to Walt Disney World.
This comes as the the holiday season is now unofficially underway at Walt Disney World, with decorations up everywhere except EPCOT and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party starting soon. The full festivities run from November 12, 2024 to early January 2025, with EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays beginning on Black Friday and concluding on December 30. See our Ultimate Guide to Christmas 2024 at Walt Disney World for everything you need to know about what’s happening and how to make the most of the holidays in the parks and resorts.
Although the food guide below is pretty comprehensive, it doesn’t quite cover everything. First, we previously shared all the Food & Desserts for the 2024 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, including the complimentary cookies and drinks. We’ll soon have menus for the 2024 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, which will have two new booths, as well as a range of returning and new dishes at the Holiday Kitchens.
In terms of commentary, we’re pleased to see almost everything available right now. Last year, about half of the menus didn’t debut until late November or even December. So that’s the good news. Another positive is that this menu is very, very long. I’m not going to count, but there are easily 100+ items being added for Christmas 2024.
Now for the bad news. First of all, a big part of the reason that the overwhelming majority of dishes have already debuted is because there’s a lot that appears to be “missing.” There are some staples that normally return year-in and year-out in the parks and resorts that are conspicuous omissions this year. To the point that it makes me wonder whether Walt Disney World is getting a second wave of holiday snacks–and another food guide–to unwrap closer to Christmas.
Similarly, even though the list is long, that’s largely due to Disney Springs. And, no offense to that shopping and dining district, but we do 95% of our holiday snacking at the parks & resorts. Disney Springs has a formidable restaurant roster, to be sure, but the practical reality is that most guests aren’t in a position to do multiple table service restaurants or bars at Disney Springs during the holiday season.
As such, a big chunk of the list is irrelevant to them. It’s great for locals who do Disney Springs on a weekly basis, and I’m certainly not knocking the individual restaurants for having special Christmas menus. To the contrary, they should be applauded. But it would also be nice if there were more than a scattering of items in the parks, as that’s where the average guest (probably including most locals!) is going to spend their time during the holiday season. It’s like the Magic Kingdom menus for MVMCP vs. regular days all over again.
Anyway, let’s look at all the festive feasts, food, and drinks coming to the resort hotels, Disney Springs, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, and Magic Kingdom for the holiday season. Grab your stockings and your appetites because it’s time to open up the Food Guide to Christmas 2024 at Walt Disney World…
