A friendly cast member sent me a quick rundown on the holiday menus offered Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at the Disneyland Resort, so if you are still trying to decide where to eat and/or if you need reservations, hopefully this will help. These special dishes are in addition to the usual menu offerings unless otherwise noted. I'm not including Goofy's Kitchen or Napa Rose because they are booked out; Carthay Circle's menu was not listed.
