After reading this thread, you guys have me worried! I was just able to piece together a trip during Thanksgiving week at VB in a Garden View studio. This will be our first time visiting VB and was thinking we would stay at VB for 6 nights (11/19 thru 11/24) and have Thanksgiving dinner there and then the following day, head to Clearwater Beach for two nights (11/25 thru 11/26). We like to eat "out" when on vacation, explore, and have two girls, ages 11 and 13, who love riding bikes, swimming and beaches.
Now I'm wondering if 6 nights at VB might be too many and maybe we should increase the Clearwater Beach part of the trip? Another concern is that I get the feeling that Disney (at Shutters) would put on a better Thanksgiving dinner than a random restaurant in Clearwater Beach...
