Where to Enjoy Christmas Dinner at Walt Disney World in 2025

Magic Kingdom

In Magic Kingdom, traditional holiday comfort food is the focus. Both Liberty Tree Tavern and The Diamond Horseshoe in Liberty Square serve a year-round “all-you-care-to-enjoy” platter that fits the holiday perfectly. The meal includes roasted turkey, pot roast, and smoked pork loin, accompanied by mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, herb stuffing, and macaroni and cheese. Dessert features the popular Oooey Gooey Toffee Cake.

For a lighter option, The Plaza Restaurant on Main Street, U.S.A. is offering seasonal specials through January 3. The menu features a Holiday Beef Pot Roast and a Holiday Turkey Meatloaf, with a Pistachio and Cherry Cheesecake available for dessert.

EPCOT

At EPCOT, Garden Grill Restaurant in The Land pavilion offers a family-style feast similar to Magic Kingdom’s offerings. The prix fixe menu includes rotisserie-roasted turkey, grilled steak, mashed potatoes, and green beans, all served while the restaurant slowly rotates above the Living with the Land attraction.

Guests planning to attend the Candlelight Processional can also book dining packages that include reserved seating for the show. Participating restaurants for 2025 include Le Cellier Steakhouse, Rose & Crown Dining Room, and Via Napoli, among others.
