Thanksgiving DISers...

[KaraKW]

My DH and I will be joining my family at their home resort (OKW) for Thanksgiving this year (My DH and I are BWVers). Just wondering if there are any other DVC DISers who will be at WDW during Thanksgiving this year.

Kara :wave:

Hi Kara,
We're arriving at OKW in shifts starting 11/16 and leaving in shifts from 11/23 to 11/26. We have two 2Br for the 10 adults and 3 little ones. I have a lime green lanyard tied to my DVC tote bag which usually is hanging on the front of my ECV. Hope to see you there! BTW what are you doing for T'day dinner?

[Deb & Bill]

We go out on the Disney Cruise on 11/18 and return to OKW on 11/22 (Thanksgiving Day) for four nights. We are a mom, dad and 8 yr old son. I'm going to add some lime green ribbons to our stuff.

We'll be home - BWV 11/21-12/02

[KaraKW]

My family and I will be eating at Olivia's for Thanksgiving Dinner. We have an 11:30 AM ressie - an early dinner - because my sister is a CM who often works afternoons/evenings at EPCOT.

My DH is pleased about the early dinner time, though, because he hopes to get over to the ESPN Club later in the day to watch some Thanksgiving football! :rolleyes: :p

Kara :wave:

[jennybobenny]

Me, my dh, dd (7), ds (3), parents and mil will be arriving on Thanksgiving Day (11/22). We're staying at All Star Movies (hopefully in the Toy Story section for my little Buzz Lightyear fan) until Sunday when we check into BWV for a week. Can't wait! :)

[crazyaboutdisney]

we are cruising on the 15th on the wonder then going to the bw for 5 nights, thanksgiving dinner is at the grand floridian. dw, ds6, dd1 and myself. we are flying home the day after thanksgiving to avoid the rush. looking forward to a fun and safe trip!!!!!!

[Dean]

The four of us will be at AKL for 22-24 November. No current points and a rate of $169 Savannah view did it fo me.

[Joan BWV98]

We'll be at BWV 11/15 to 24. I can't wait!!

[chicago641]

We are spending thanksgiving at akl,dinner at the hopp-dee do thanksgiving night!:smooth:

[JoelD]

We'll be "home" 11/20-11/28 at BWV with a total of 12:
DW and I, my parents, sister's 14yo daughter and 19yo son, brother and his 8yo daughter and daughter's 7yo friend, other brother and his girlfriend, and (possibly) friend from South Africa that was an exchange student hosted by my parents years ago

Thanksgiving dinner at Cape May Cafe, then Illuminations Cruise.

Except for DW and I, everyone else has either never been to WDW or only been once, way back in 1986. This is going to be a blast to be there with so many first-timers!

(Okay... technically those who went in 1986 aren't "first-timers", but things have changed so much since 1986 that they'll be experiencing a majority of The World for the first time.)

[ahoff]

We aew checking into a studio at the BW on 11/17 (first time home) and then moving to a 1BR at VWL on 11/20. Having Thanksgiving at the Beach Club. Can't wait!

[Figaro30]

Hi...Me, DH, Mom & Dad will be arriving on Nov. 23 checking out on December 1st. This will be our first trip at DVC members and we'll be staying at OKW. Am starting to count the minutes....I can't wait!!!! :wave:

We will be at BWV from 11/18 until 11/24, visiting daughter on the college program. She is a lifeguard at Port Orleans Resort.

[DISNEY QUEEN CPA]

We do Thanksgiving every other year at OKW and unfortunately, this is an "off" year. I'm amazed, however, at the number of DVCers who are dining out. I'm a bit older and probably more traditional so Tday ends up being the one time I actually cook at OKW. We used to get the catered meal from Olivia's but generally were not pleased with what you got for the price.
Anyhow, I would love it if I didn't have to cook next year, so can anyone tell me if any of the restaurants serve a traditional, family style Thanksgiving meal. I hate wasting valuable Disney time in the kitchen but I can't get rid of that Norman Rockwell image we're supposed to all achieve!

[PKK/MJK]

We're going to be at OKW for Thanksgiving too!! Some of the family are arriving on 11/17 with the rest of the crew coming in on 11/20. We have never been to WDW for Thanksgiving so we are very excited. We, too, are dining at Olivia's. They are supposed to have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it is good. At least it will be cozy and family-oriented. I hear that a lot of people are eating at the Yacht Club Galley. I am soooo glad I do NOT have to do the BIG dinner this year!!

[teri]

We will be there, arriving 11/22, checking into BWV 11/25, the family leaves 11/28 and I attend DIS Con from 11/29 to 12/2. Be sure to have your green ribbons!

[dvcmagic]

Our waitlist finally came through!! We will be celebrating Thanksgiving at OKW this year. We are arriving at OKW on Monday and checking out on Friday, day after Thanksgiving. I have a few questions. How are the parks during this time period? Are there any special events scheduled this time of year? When do they decorate the parks for the Holidays?

Can't wait till we are Home!! :pinkbounc

[Pam Lau]

It's gonna be a Disney Thanksgiving for our family this year. First time to be gone for the Holidays and we are really looking forward to it. We leave on Nov. 9th and head towards Vero Beach arriving 11/11. Then set sail on the 11/18 Wonder Cruise before heading home to BWV for Thanksgiving week. Last night is at the Dolphin. Thanksgiving dinner will be a late one at the California Grill. Hoping to have a view of the MK Fireworks display. Only 12 more days!

[MaryAnnDVC]

jenny and teri, we're checking in to the BWV on November 25th too! We check out on December 2. We're actually arriving in Orlando on Thanksgiving Day, but staying for 3 days at the Portofino Bay Hotel...did that last year too. We plan to eat at Mama Della's...same as last year.

jeanneg, we hope this year to celebrate Thanksgiving with my mother and sister at home the weekend before we leave for vacation, if I'm not frantically packing. When we do eat out on Thanksgiving in Orlando, we don't get the traditional Thanksgiving dinner because it's just not like home.

[Disney World Mommy]

Well while we "aren't" members we'll be staying at OKW for 11/22 - 11/28 and are absolutely THRILLED!!! We've been gifted the points to stay there and are just totally excited beyond words!

It'll be my family of four, hubby and two boys! Can't wait!!! :) We'll be the family with the "mickey" ears on! ;)

:bounce:

[dvcmomdeh]

I, DH, DS(13), DD(10) will be checking in at BWV on Thanksgiving day for a 2 night stay then off to the Magic for the 7 day cruise (booked with points).

We still don't know what we are doing for Thanksgiving. Oh but I can smell that turkey cooking.

See ya there.
