Christmas day Dinner in the world

Anyone there this last Christmas or previous years and have any recommendations for a sit down family Dinner on Christmas Day?

Whispering Canyon and Liberty Tree Tavern seem to come up a lot… A non Disney hotel Buffet may be an option…

Very undecided at the moment, what does anyone think?

I have definitely heard this one a lot, and it would be my choice.

My first thought was Boma. I love that lobby and tree.

We went to Sanaa for lunch on Christmas Day in 2018 and it was great! They had a special menu and it was superb.

is it a different menu that day do you know?

Nice, what kind of switches did they make menu wise?

I don’t actually remember much about it. I might need to go through my pictures. My DH and I both have dietary restrictions and they made him a very flavorful dish that included mushrooms they don’t normally have. It was a departure from what other places prepared for him that trip. He was getting pretty sick of the same dish from each restaurant so this stood out for us.

I have read that they have turkey, ham and steak at the carving station as well as traditional Christmas items and the usual options at the buffet. They say there is enough variety for everyone.

The main difficulty with this restaurant is that it’s in a park.

Just in case I’d choose a resort/non park restaurant.

Do you want particular food for that meal?

Years ago we were looking for a character buffet for a certain day’s supper and all the Disney buffets had no availability. We wound up at either Swan or Dolphin at their character buffet supper. We really enjoyed the uncrowded restaurant, the buffet selections and the character interaction.

We’ve intended to go back to either of those resorts again for a meal but haven’t. There are so many choices all over the World :upside_down_face:

We did Hoop De Doo for Christmas Dinner on our last trip and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We had been before and I suggested it to my family who liked the idea rather than just dinner.

I heard on a recent podcast that they inject some Christmas into the show with songs for the holiday

Yes they do! As soon as the week after Thanksgiving in our experience. We have been the Saturday immediately after Thanksgiving and the Thursday after and both had Christmas song elements in the shows.

i think we want a traditional christmas dinner so Turkey and carvery style is as close as we will get! Why you dont have pigs in blankets and yorkshire pudding I have no idea!

And we want it to feel Christmassy.
