With the holiday festivities beginning in Disney World on November 6th, Disney has announced that this year’s events will NOT include Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party as well as EPCOT’s Candlelight Processional.

However, in a post on Disney Parks Blog, Disney noted that they look forward to offering “other creative ways” to bring the holiday season to life, and one of those ways is a modified character dining experience!
Disney has announced that Hollywood and Vine at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will host a special holiday character dining experience. Hollywood and Vine has hosted their “Minnie’s Holiday Dine” character dining event in the past, but this one will be modified in a way that follows Disney World’s new health and safety guidelines.

According to Disney, Minnie Mouse will be hosting her “yuletide gathering” for guests, with a special appearance by Santa Goofy himself!

Topolino’s Terrace at Disney’s Riviera Resort and Garden Grill at EPCOT both currently offer a modified character dining experience, and so we would expect Hollywood and Vine’s experience to be similar.
