Hey, Disney Holiday-lovers! I know we’re still squeezing every last drop out of summer, but if you’re anything like me, there’s already a little part of you dreaming about the holidays! Before we know it, the parks will be sparkling with Christmas lights, festive treats will be everywhere, and Santa will be making his seasonal appearances. And if Breakfast with Santa is on your holiday wish list this year, now is the time to get planning. Tickets are already on sale for this year’s experiences at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort, and as we all know, those coveted holiday bookings can disappear quickly. We’ve got all the dates and details you need to start planning your magical morning with Santa!
Walt Disney World – Maria & Enzo’s, Disney Springs
Over at Walt Disney World, the holiday fun takes place at Maria & Enzo’s in Disney Springs, where families can enjoy a festive breakfast overlooking Lake Buena Vista before a special visit from Santa. Breakfast with Santa is offered December 12th, 13th, 19th, 20th, and 24th, with seating at 9:30 am, 9:45 am, and 10 am, and each experience lasting approximately 90 minutes. The family-style breakfast includes sweet and savory favorites, visits with Santa and his elves, a family photo with Santa, takeaway treats and holiday carolers. Guests ages 21 and over can also enjoy a Prosecco mimosa. There are Gold and Platinum seating options, with Platinum offering a priority visit with Santa and the elves and the best lake views, with seating assigned according to booking date and party size.
Prices start at $69 for adults and $45 for children ages 3 to 10, plus tax and gratuity, while children ages 2 and under are free. The price varies by seating category, and pricing increases after October 5th, so keep that date in mind when planning. Reservations are nonrefundable and valid only for the selected date and time, and guests should arrive on time as reservations cannot be extended. Another consideration is that parties of eight or more may not be seated together. Although I am sure every effort will be made to keep larger groups as close together as possible, making your own groups might also be worth a thought. – Book Now
Disneyland Resort – Naples, Downtown Disney
Over at Disneyland Resort, families can head to Naples Ristorante in the Downtown Disney District for a storybook-style Christmas morning in the upstairs dining room beside Santa’s alcove. Breakfast With Santa will be offered on November 28th, December 5th, 6th, 12th, 13th, 19th, 20th, 23rd and 24th, with time slots available from 8:30 am through 12 pm. The experience includes a family-style breakfast with hot cocoa, festive décor, holiday activities and treats for the kids, along with carolers and, of course, a special visit and photo with Santa.
There are some particularly adorable extras for younger guests, too. Children ages 10 and under receive a stuffed animal and personalized stocking, along with take-home treats to continue the Christmas magic after breakfast. Adults ages 21 and over can enjoy bottomless mimosas, making this one festive morning with something for everyone. Breakfast With Santa is $90 for adults and $35 for children, plus tax and gratuity, with a 20% gratuity and prepaid reservations available for parties of 2 to 10. With so many December dates available, this could be a lovely way to add some extra holiday magic to a Disneyland visit, or enjoy a festive family experience in Downtown Disney without a park day on the schedule. Be quick if you are keen on the 23rd or 24th of December, as those tend to be very popular – Book Now.
