Hey Disneyland friends. As we head into the final stretch of spooky season with October just around the corner, I’ll admit my sights are already firmly set on the holidays! And if you’re planning a Disneyland visit between now and the end of the year, now is a great time to start thinking about your dining plans, because there are six seasonal experiences to look out for, covering everything from Halloween celebrations to festive character meals and even a parade dining package.
If you’re visiting in October, you can already make reservations for Mickey’s Autumn Adventures Breakfast & Brunch and Clarabelle’s Enchanted Halloween Dinner at Storytellers Cafe in Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. Then, starting October 1st, you can start booking your festive plans with Mickey’s Christmas Carol Feast and Daisy’s Holiday Pajama Party, both running from November 16th, 2026, through January 3rd, 2027. Additionally, from November 16, 2026, through January 3, 2027, Goofy’s Kitchen Celebrates the Holidays! at the Disneyland Hotel will offer festive breakfast, brunch, and dinner buffets to celebrate the Holidays. And of course, the following week, October 8th, brings the chance to secure your in-park holiday dining with the A Christmas Fantasy Parade Dining Package at Plaza Inn.
So, whether you’re looking for Halloween fun, a festive character meal, or a way to add a little extra sparkle to your theme park day, there are plenty of options to consider. Here are all the details you need to mark these planning dates on your calendar to be sure to secure your desired date:
