This week the girls take a look at some news, dining packages and Christmas movies.

News

Disneyland Paris has just announced some price increases to their table service and buffet restaurants and some of the increases are rather large. While some restaurants have seen only a few Euro increase there are some with increases as high as 16 Euros!

In Walt Disney World changes to the RunDisney events have surprised the much needed volunteers who make these events possible. A previous reward of a days park ticket has now been reduced to a half day ticket.

Holiday Dining Packages

Over at Disneyland, the Plaza Inn is currently offering two seasonal dining packages.

The Christmas Fantasy Parade Dining Package gives you preferred viewing for the parade with dining between 1pm and 3.30pm. Prices are $40 per adult and $25 per child (plus tax & gratuity).

And then on New Years Eve there is the slightly more expensive New Years Eve Fireworks Dining Package. This will set adults back $125 and children $100 but gives preferred seating for those extra special fireworks.

Christmas Movies

After posing a question over on the Dream Girls Podcast Family page on Facebook the girls discuss some favourite Disney Christmas movies. And the big debate is whether Die Hard can now be classed as a Disney movie as it's available on Disney + and whether it is a Christmas movie!!

New Year's Eve

Jayne starts off, by talking about some things you could do out of the parks but to still remain inside the Walt Disney World bubble. Then, Michelle looks at some of the high-end offerings, which come with a range of fireworks views, characters and food options.  

Lower Cost Ideas 

Simplest approach would to be enjoy your resort hotel and all that it has to offer. Or perhaps a venture into Disney Springs might be an option; all the hustle and bustle of a New Years Eve but without the expense. Lots of counter service options available to celebrate the New Year festivities with.

Or perhaps this is the ideal time to take a Monorail tour of the Magic Kingdom resorts; a selection of lovely lounges and yummy counter service foods on offer and an opportunity to watch the evenings fireworks from a beach!

Park Packages

There is a range of options being offered by Disney and we have given brief details of them below.  

Toledo, Grand Destino Tower at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort

For $400 per person you will experience a rooftop extravaganza to dance the night away with flamenco guitar, indulge in cocktails, enjoy a traditional Spanish New Years feast with multiple food stations...Oh and Mickey & Minnie will be there too!
