2008 Thanksgiving Dinner in Condo?

[WannabeAriel]

Hi everyone! We are planning a large gathering for this Thanksgiving and we'd like the traditional Thanksgiving dinner without much cooking! There will be 16 of us total so we don't want to try for a restaurant.

Are there good places where we can order the complete traditional thanksgiving meal? We are staying at Sheraton Vistana Resort if that helps.

I saw a couple posts about Publix.... is that still a good option? I'd love to hear what people are planning and what has worked in the past! Plus - any ideas of what NOT to try!

I would say either Publix or Target.

Publix is a very good option. Not only do they offer a traditional meal, but their desserts & breads are also great. When I don't feel like cooking on Thanksgiving (health reasons), we usually compile our meal from a few places. We use Publix, Honey Baked Ham, & Boston Market. Naturally, you could get the entire meal from one location, but we like to mix-n-match.

PS: I don't know if you have Winn-Dixie where you leave, or even how good they are in Orlando, but going by our local Winn-Dixies, I would avoid that option.

There are two honey baked hams in Orlando. They have traditional packages.

Publix would be my bet. I have had thier Christmas Dinner and it was better then you would have expected.

If there is a Whole Foods in Orlando that's probably the best, but.. I don't know if they go that far south. (I passed thier sweet potato dish off as homemade last year... LOL!)

I just talked to Cracker Barrel and they have a pick up package that feeds 4-6. He said it is usually about $43.00.

Can personally vouch for the Publix meal ordered through the deli. It does have cornbread stuffing if that matters. I did take the time to do our special sweet potato recipe and our green bean casserole, but that was my choice. The precooked turkey is Butterball.
