I’ve heard a rumor that due to DE’s lackluster reviews, Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks will be presented nightly for day guests from 12/23/22 and through the new year (taking the 6:30 pm spot on 12/30 and 12/31). Anyone else heard this?
As mentioned above, the special stuff they do for the Holiday Upsell Parties (parade, Xmas fireworks, etc...) are part of the daily and nightly routine during Christmas week. That's been routine for years.

Correct, but it wasn’t the case last year, ostensibly for the 50th, which is still ongoing this year (supposedly…). As far as I can remember, it was Holiday Wishes that week in 2016 and 2018, MWCF in 2019. So it’s been rather haphazard.

Also curious to see if it will actually be MWCF at 6:30 on 12/30 and 12/31. I believe before the pandemic, there were two showings of Fantasy in the Sky those evenings (with the countdown for each?). Last year had DE at 6:30, giving guests a reason to filter into the Hall of Presidents at 6:15.

Yikes. Imagining going to MK on Christmas Day and getting DE instead of Minnie's Wonderful? <shudder>

Any idea when they come out with the festival of the holidays food booth menus?
It may be awhile. You may think the Festival of the Holidays starts just after Halloween. It doesn't. The Food and Wine Festival runs to November 19. The Festival of the Holidays begins November 25.

I know when it starts. We will be there for it. I was just wondering if anyone knew when the menu comes out. Thanks.

Generally that's not something insiders would be privy to.

The only way to get a rough guess when those menus would be released is to research when they were released in past years.

Fireworks schedule shows DE nightly through 12/21, then MWCF nightly 12/23-12/29 at 8:15 pm. Nothing yet listed for 12/30 or 12/31 (both MWCF and DE show no showings those dates). Perhaps there will be four FitS showings.

DE, unfortunately, returns 1/1/23 at 8:15 pm.
