The holiday season unofficially kicked off at Walt Disney World, with decorations already up in most locations except EPCOT, and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party set to begin shortly.
Walt Disney World has released its holiday season menus for Christmas 2024, featuring a variety of new drinks, appetizers, entrees, desserts, and snacks across Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Disney Springs, and resort hotels.
The full holiday festivities are scheduled from November 12, 2024, through early January 2025. EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays is set to run from Black Friday to December 30, 2024. While the foodie guide is exhaustive, here’s a glimpse into what you can get at the Christmas 2024 party.
· At Amorette’s Patisserie of Disney Springs, one can get Christmas Present Petit Cake, Christmas Snickerdoodle Cookie Croissant, Peppermint Swirl Cheesecake, Mini Christmas Croquembouche, among others.

In the previous year, nearly half of the holiday season menus didn’t launch until late November or even December.

The extensive list can be viewed from the official website disneyparksblog.com.

The bulk of new offerings this season were concentrated at Disney Springs. While this shopping and dining area offers a robust selection of restaurants, most holiday visitors focus on snacks within the parks and resorts, where they spend the majority of their time.
Springs' extensive menu is ideal for locals who frequent the area, but it doesn’t fully cater to guests prioritizing park-based holiday experiences. The limited holiday menu items within the parks felt similar to the exclusive Magic Kingdom offerings for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party compared to regular days.
