Yes, yes, we know it’s October, but do you know what that means? Christmas is only a little over two months away, and that means Disney is already gearing up to celebrate. (And are we complaining? No, absolutely not.)

While that still may seem like plenty of time, the truth is that it’ll be here before we know it, and it’s one of the most popular times to visit Disney World. That being said, things are going to book up fast! While regular dining reservations aren’t yet available, since you have to be within 60 days of your trip, there are plenty of unique holiday offerings around the Disney World hotels that you CAN book right now. We’ve got them all here in one place for easy convenience, so take a look, and start making your reservations!

Discounts

Let’s start out with some pretty sweet discounts you can book right now if you’ve decided you want to take a trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth for the holidays. There are two deals you’ll want to take advantage of!

Dining With Santa

There’s not one, not two, but THREE different ways you can dine with Santa this holiday season at Disney World! Some of them are more expensive than others, though, so you’ll want to choose which one works best for you and your budget.

The Cake Bake Shop

You can enjoy Dinner with Santa at The Cake Bake Shop! This event offers a festive evening filled with sparkling cocktails and Champagne, hors d’oeuvres, a three-course dinner, dessert, and a gift to take home, as well as the main event: a family photo and visit with Santa.

Dates for 2026 are November 24th, December 1st, 8th, and 15th. Tickets cost $200 per adult and $150 per child 12 and under, and you can make reservations on The Cake Bake Shop website here (where menus can also be viewed).

Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante

Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante in Disney Springs is also hosting a Breakfast with Santa event again this year. It’ll take place on select dates from December 12th through December 24th, and in addition to meeting and taking a photo with Santa, guests will experience a family-style breakfast, takeaway treats, holiday carolers, and a Prosecco mimosa for guests 21+.

Prices vary by seating category and start at $55 for children and $79 for adults (plus tax and gratuity). Tickets can be purchased now for Breakfast with Santa at the Maria & Enzo’s website — don’t miss out!

T-Rex Cafe

If you’re looking for an event your dinosaur-loving kid will lose their mind over, the Breakfast with Santa event at T-Rex Cafe will be perfect! This year, the event takes place on December 18th, 19th, and 20th, 2026. The family-style breakfast costs $40.99 for adults and $24.99 for kids, and includes letters to Santa, goodie bags, a raffle and prizes, photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and much more.

The breakfast will include an assorted pastry basket, fresh fruit platter, brioche French toast, buttermilk pancakes, applewood smoked bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, and breakfast potatoes. Reservations can be made now on the T-Rex Cafe website.

Sleigh Rides

We can’t forget about sleigh rides! Over at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, holiday sleigh rides are available for guests to book. These are 25-minute horse-drawn sleigh rides that will be available from December 1st through December 30th, 2026 (excluding Christmas Eve, December 24th).

Each sleigh can fit up to 4 adults, or 2 adults and 3 small children. Prices start at $80, and interested guests may book 60 days in advance using the My Disney Experience app or via the Disney World website. So, this one isn’t available just yet, but we had to mention it here because we didn’t want you to forget! Mark it on your calendar now and get ready to make that reservation the moment your booking window opens up.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated on all the latest Disney holiday news as it comes out this year, so stay tuned to DFB!
