If you’re headed to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Walt Disney World, you may be wondering about places to eat during this special holiday event.
Unfortunately, not every restaurant is open during after hour events like the Mickey Christmas Party. Sometimes it can be hard to find a place to eat.
That’s why we’ve put together a list of the Magic Kingdom restaurants and their listed hours for party days. Any restaurant that is bolded should be open during the Christmas Party. We say should because all hours are subject to change due to things like staffing issues.
Please note that for the quick service restaurants that will be open during the party, there is a gap sometime between 5:45-7:00 PM when they won’t be serving anyone. So you’ll want to plan your day/evening accordingly.

* – These restaurants are the three table-service restaurants open during MVMCP. Reservations are highly recommended. Please note that none of those three are taking reservations after 9:00 PM, so you won’t want to wait until after 9:00 PM to have a sit down meal during the party.
Speaking of sit down meals…
You may or may not want to take time out of the party to dine at a table service restaurant. There’s a lot to do at the party, like live entertainment, dance parties, and character meet & greets. (You can learn all about them in our Christmas party guide.) So if you’re not sure if you should take the time to have a table service meal, I would recommend against it.
However, some people like to take the time to make sure they have a full meal at the beginning of the night. If that sounds like you and your family, then this might be a great option for you.
