We are staying at Hilton Buena Vista Palace. Does that count as “on-site” for purposes of getting priority entry if park gets full?

This site is very handy to help with that: mousedining

That’s possible at that time as guests won’t be leaving in high numbers while the inflow is still huge.

They “close” the park in phases and WDW resort hotels - and I believe some (all?) good neighbour hotels are still allowed access in the first stages. I’m not familiar with your hotel though so don’t know if it is a good neighbour (you probably do!)

It’s not a whole lot of fun being in MK when they are at capacity, anyway.

I suspect you will be fine, Disney hasn't gone to phase 3/4 very often. Christmas Day isn't usually one of them.

Yes! I’ve just snapped up a slot in the park at the Crystal Palace for breakfast. Mouse dining and TouringPlan notifications were a great tip. I’ve been catching what I could and moved from The Wave to Chef Mickey over the last couple of weeks and then today to The Crystal Palace.

Chef Mickey on Xmas morning just cancelled if anyone is after it.
