This looks like fun! I'm looking forward to the day my husband and I can take a similar trip. I just need to decide if it will be WDW or DL.

The Merry & Bright Dessert party was great! I'm sure that you will love it.
We loved the peppermint cups. It was a wonderful evening of relaxing, taking in the lights and listening to the Christmas music. The hot chocolate and baileys was good too. :cloud9:

We have returned from our wonderful trip with lots of great dining.
Highlights of our dining:
Narcoossee brunch was expensive $69 a person but worth every penny. A basket of pastries, French onion soup, a cheese plate, steak and eggs and a dessert plate to share. Every bite was wonderful and I hope we can go again. The chicken and waffles looked good but for that price I wanted steak. My husband had lobster on one of his dishes and loved it. (Can't remember what else he got.). They give you a pressed pot of coffee and you get a choice of drinks. I got a kids strawberry smoothie and iced tea. Coffee with dessert.
Morimoto in Disney Springs was fantastic also. I got crab Rangoon and Asian Ribs from appetizer menu. The Rangoon had large chunks of crab inside. The ribs were soooo good. My husband got a noodle bowl that was very good. The decor is beautiful. I love the water glasses. They are rose colored at the bottom and when you put water in them the entire drink has a beautiful pink color. I thought they had added something to the water.
The Boathouse was also very nice and I can't wait to go back. I had gone 8 days without a burger and the waiter said they had great ones. And he was right! Best burger I have had! All the portions were huge. The other diners at our table had a salad, fried shrimp and a salmon dish. Everyone gave their choices a thumbs up.
Ate at Konas 3 different days for breakfast. I go for the macadamia nut pancakes and get the strawberry compote ( like served with Tonga toast) on side. I could eat that mix of pancakes, butter, pineapple and strawberry every morning. Yum!
Chef Mickey brunch was good.
Minnie's Holiday Dine was very good and I love the lobster Mac and cheese. Great dessert presentation and they had some delicious choices.
Cape May had great crab legs but I think they have a lot less choices on salads as in past years and the dessert choices were just ok.
O'hana was ok but I won't rush back. Been years since I had gone and it never was my favorite. This year enjoyed the salad, wings and the turkey was good. Steak and pork were just ok. And I am not a fan of bread pudding so got kids dessert.

We got a dinner seating for Be Our Guest! I didn't think it was as good as last year but enjoyed our dinner there. Also went for breakfast. Couldn't resist going for the donut and it is basically the same as the croissant donut you can get in Epcot. I love to get one of those every year. The BOG had some chocolate and custard and whipped topping on it. Great to try once but I wouldn't go back for breakfast.
Via Napoli was great! Our first time there and will go back. Pizza and gelato.
The only dessert party we ended up going to was at the Studios. The view of Osbourne lights was wonderful and I love a dessert party with seats! The desserts were nothing exciting but they did have 2 HUGE pies they had in iron skillets under hot lights. One was apple and one peach with pecan topping. The crust and peach pie was very good. Not sure I would pay that much for the desserts again but loved being able to enjoy the lights without being crowded by the huge swarms of people.
California Grill was great for dessert and a view of Wishes you can't get anywhere else
We also spent one day at Legoland and the fast food there is good. The apple fries are very good.

Thanks for the reviews, trying to decide between the Narcoossee's brunch and the Cali Grill brunch.
It looks from you review as if O'Hana is now turkey, steak, and pork....may have to rethink our January meal there.
Glad you enjoyed your meals for the most part.
