During the Christmas celebration at Disneyland, from November 16, 2025, to January 7, 2026, guests can enjoy a dining package at Plaza Inn that includes a voucher for the day’s second performance of A Christmas Fantasy Parade. This is the holiday parade at Disneyland that features favorite Disney and Pixar characters, toy drummers, dancing gingerbread and snowmen, and a finale of Santa Claus and his reindeer. The second parade of the day is always quite an extraordinary spectacle, with the parade floats lit up!
Prices for both adults and children increased from last year. Those prices were previously $52 per adult and $29 per child, and they are now $58 per adult and $32 per child (ages 3 to 9). Tax is not included, and gratuity is not included or required.
The children’s menu remains roughly the same this year, with the addition of a Hawaiian roll, and the adult menu has a different holiday-inspired entree than last year’s offering, which was beef bourguignon. This dining package will be available to book starting September 25, 2025.
The dining time for this lunch package is from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM. You’ll eat at any open table at Plaza Inn. Your voucher will specify the location of the viewing area, time to arrive, and the show’s performance time. Note that the viewing area is standing room only.
