Christmas Dinner Ideas????

[Cinders]

Just made my reservation for CPV for December!!!

Anyone know if any of the groceries around WDW pre-cooks Christmas dinners in their delis? I know we'll have a full kitchen and I do plan to cook breakfasts and a few dinners while we are there but no way I want to mess with cooking a turkey there. Maybe I'll do what Dragon-In-Law has done and just make lasagne for Christmas dinner.

Publix does a fantastic one that we used this past Christmas. It was all boxed up wonderfully and all you have to do is reheat. The turkey is pre-cooked in a bag, then packaged into another bag. You remove the outer bag, reheat the turkey in the one it was originally cooked in and there you have a freshly roasted turkey with little effort and little mess. The meal we ordered came with a cranberry/orange relish, gravy, mashed potatoes and seems there was something else, too. We fixed a couple of our favorite side dishes and some yeast rolls and it was wonderful. I think we ordered the 6-8 person meal and it was around $40.00.

The phone number for the one on Vineland over by the Premium Outlet Mall is (407) 238-9924.

I would not hesitate to do this again.

You could look into ordering a meal from Honeybaked - there are several stores near WDW. They have whole turkeys, turkey breasts, hams, prime ribs, plus sides and desserts. The cost can be $$$, it all depends on what you order. Sure is nummmmy though.

I would think that Publix and Winn Dixie would be good options as well. When we had a cabin at Ft. Wilderness for Thanksgiving, we threw steaks on the bbq (just two of us, and I only like turkey breast, so we did ribeyes instead), roasted potatoes, baked an apple pie and made salad. We usually eat prime rib for Christmas dinner, which is a lot easier to make than turkey...just throw it in the oven, turn down the heat after 20 minutes, and in an hour you are good to go.

Have a great trip - we'll probably be at DL Christmas day.
