Christmas Fantasy Archives - Disney Globetrotter

As part of the 10th Anniversary celebration at the Ambassador Hotel, several restaurants have been offering special commemorative dining pins in conjunction with seasonal entrees and desserts. While some of the pins are only available from the nearly $200+ dinner sets, there are several locations that offer more reasonably priced options.

During Tokyo Disney Resort’s Christmas festivities this past month, the Hyperion Lounge featured a special “Christmas Fantasy” dessert and a seasonal beverage.

For 1,950 JPY, the Hyperion Lounge was offering a Dark Chocolate Mousse, Yule Log-Style, with Raspberry-Anise Sorbet. This also came with tea or coffee (hot or iced), and while available, a special Tinkerbell Christmas Fantasy pin.

The Hyperion Lounge desserts are incredible and definitely a must try during seasonal events. It’s a little walk from the Parks if you are not staying there, but worth it! It’s a nice quiet reprieve from the hectic atmosphere of the theme parks and the desserts are fantastic!

Here is a close up look at nearly every angle of the Tinkerbell masterpiece:

Attention to detail is one of the refreshing aspects of the Tokyo Disney Resort. Note the detail work and the few “hidden Mickeys” on the plate.

Check out the toadstools on the plate too!

Desserts7 — Little toadstools adorn the dessert as well!

The degree of difficulty on their desserts always amazes me, not to mention the obvious creativity. I cannot image trying to come up with new themed desserts each season, let alone executing them so flawlessly. The large Tinkerbell on the top is a paper thin wafer, making the challenge of attaching her to the base, and adding a snowflake to her hand, even more difficult.

While you might think paying $22-$23 US for a dessert is a lot, this is definitely something that can be shared amongst two or more people. Don’t forget it comes with the commemorative pin as well.

Christmas Fantasy Drink Specials

In addition to the dessert set, the Hyperion Lounge was also serving seasonal alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Since we were already at luggage capacity and pretty full (we ate lunch just prior to visiting the Hyperion Lounge), we opted to forgo the beverages this time around. Here’s what they were offering:

Fantasy Stars – a non-alcoholic beverage consisting of cassis syrup, lemon juice, and 7-up, served in a collectible glass.

Ambassador Style Seasonal Flower Cocktail – called Cattleya, the drink includes Absolut Citron, cranberry juice, grapefruit syrup, and tonic water, and it came with a collectible glass marker.

For the 2010 Christmas festivities at the Tokyo Disney Resort, both Disneyland and DisneySEA featured some festive goodies in souvenir plates and cups. These treats are quite popular with the local fans who will stand in some pretty lengthy lines to ensure they get at least one of the collectible plates or cups. I am a diehard and figure if I am going to fly out for the holiday events, why not just get all the souvenir dishes! As compared to other food items and theme park food prices in general, these are quite a deal at either 600 yen or 700 yen each.

Tokyo Disneyland 2010 Christmas Fantasy Holiday Desserts

As with other holidays, the two food stands surrounding the main holiday displays in Tokyo Disneyland sell desserts — one will usually sell the cup and the other the dessert. This year, they offered a third holiday themed dessert as well!

The first and most popular dessert we tried was the soft cookies, shaped like gingerbread Mickey and Minnie, available for 350 yen. We were at Disneyland on a Thursday night (12/16) and it was quite busy. Of all the desserts, this one had the longest line as people were buying up cookies before the holiday fireworks began.

For the souvenir cup, the dessert was a pear mousse with a little chocolate reindeer on top. The mousse cup is 700 yen and sits inside the souvenir cup without getting it dirty. As with all souvenir snacks, the Cast Member gives you a plastic bag to put your cup or plate in and you don’t need to waste time cleaning them as the food never makes contact with the dish!

To match the Christmas Fantasy cup, Disneyland was selling a strawberry cream puff, also with a little chocolate reindeer on top, for 600 yen. Both the mousse and the cream puff were delicious and the perfect boost of sugar I needed to keep wandering and forget how cold it was outside!

Tokyo Disney is known for their attention to detail and these souvenir cups and plates are no exception. Even the bottom of each are adorned and feature Christmas themed Disney characters.

Tokyo DisneySEA Christmas Wishes 2010 Desserts

Both Disneyland and DisneySEA usually have a dessert plate and cup you can collect. This year, Tokyo DisneySEA offered adorable dark blue plates and cups with the Christmas Wishes theme. The souvenir cup featured a strawberry milk mousse topped with a chocolate holly leaf. The cup is 700 yen and features Mickey and Minnie, along with gold silhouettes of Mickey and Minnie on the bottom.

The souvenir plate at Tokyo DisneySEA has the Christmas Wishes design and features Chip and Dale on the bottom for 600 yen. The dessert offered with the souvenir plate is a white chocolate mousse cake with green tea flavor. Both of these holiday treats were available from the food stall near the S.S. Columbia in the American Waterfront.
