Interesting! So ABC Parade Taping after all?
This could be quite a Weekend! First MVMCP, MOUACT all Weekend, maybe 2025 Updates from D23 Brazil!

Epcot is now fully available for tickets, resort guests, and AP Holders on 12/31.
MK remains unavailable for tickets and resort guests on 12/31 at this time.
"Buy a $169 ticket to our Christmas Party! Then, spend another $100 on food!!!"
Not really what "sweeten the deal" means, but I digress.
Call me crazy but I don't think food is really the point of the Christmas Party........
I agree with you... if only it wasn't behind a $159+ paywall. There are many of the party-only items that I bet would be big sellers if they were available to the unwashed masses. It shouldn't be that difficult to add a menu item or two at each location for 2 months.that pot roast melt at cosmic rays looks worth trying

You get access to the food; that's the sweetening the deal. You have to pay for your food at Disney anyway, now you have these special options that ideally will taste very good and look nice. You don't have to personally find it appealing, but that's the idea.
It's really not different from the specialty food for the day guests; all park tickets are expensive, but no one is buying the tickets FOR the specialty snack, it's an extra thing to enjoy while you're there.
People like variety and seasonal foods.
That said, don't get me wrong; I don't go to the parties, I don't think they're worth it (especially buying both a day and party ticket for the same day, which is just nuts), and I absolutely think that their seasonal food selection is getting worse (this Halloween sucked) and the focus on the parties is probably at least partially to blame.
Sorry, but any slice of cake less than $25 is obviously not worth it.Top Festive Treats Coming to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom

I didn’t see anything I wanted badly enough to change my mind about skipping the party…but I do think my kids will enjoy the s’mores cake enough to book a reservation at the Plaza.Top Festive Treats Coming to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom

I just booked mine for the cake!
Disney has updated the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party guide with new details for Santa's Christmas Carnival during the party:
Santa's Christmas Carnival
During Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Storybook Circus transforms into a land filled with joyful Christmas cheer, friends from the North Pole and—of course—Santa Claus.

I’m assuming we each need to order an entree before we can unlock the cake. I don’t mind paying for it, but would prefer to save stomach space for other holiday related junk food.
I am really curious about the turkey gravy loaded fries (which I won’t get to try because they’re behind the party paywall), but contemplating trying to make something like it at home.

Nov. 10 is one of the days we planned to be at MK on our upcoming trip. The idea of seeing the parade “for free” is appealing, but is it going to be so crowded that we regret even being in the park!? I’m nervous now!

I don’t think so. I have ordered only dessert at The Plaza before (and left a generous tip.) That said, it will be lunchtime and we’ll order food too.
