CONFIRMED: 3 Menu Items Returning To Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

It’s not even Christmas in July yet, but Disney already has us excited for the holiday season with some major Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party announcements.

Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade

Just today, Disney has announced party dates, ticket prices, and entertainment lineups, but that’s not even all of it – there will also be three menu items exclusively for the Christmas party!

Carne Asada Loaded Fries at Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe are coming back. These are French Fries topped with chipotle queso, caramelized onions, avocado salsa, and queso fresco.

Carne Asada Loaded Fries

When we tried it last year, these weren’t our favorite. They’re very seasoned and were delicious themselves, but the carne asada was very tough and had a very strong smoky chili pepper flavor. The Chipotle queso was similar to plastic cheese with a bit of chipotle flavor. We liked the creaminess the queso fresco added, and the avocado salsa verde added additional creaminess, and chili pepper and chipotle were definitely the overwhelming flavors in this dish, but the meat just wasn’t great because it was so tough.

Another returning favorite is the Snowflake Ornament at Pinocchio Village Haus, which is coconut-eggnog mousse in a white chocolate shell with sugar décor.

Disney World loves a mousse dessert, and while many can be good, this one wasn’t our favorite. There was very little cake on this one, and the only real flavor came from the bits of coconut shavings, which also added a bit of texture to the dessert. This felt more like a cheesecake than a mousse, which some people might like. Overall, it was super cute, but the flavor was only fine.

Lastly, the Hazelnut Carriage Cake at Cinderella’s Royal Table will also make a comeback. This is a spiced poached pear topped with vanilla bean mousse and sugared cranberries. We haven’t tried this one yet, but we’re hoping to get our hands on it this holiday season!
