Non-Disney Thanksgiving Meal Suggestions?

[babynala]

We will be staying off site during the week of Thanksgiving. We currently have a dinner reservation for Biergarten in Epcot but I'm not sure if we will want to just skip the parks that day and do something low key. I'm looking for some suggestions for restaurants that serve a traditional Thanksgiving meal. We will be staying at Windsor Hills and will have a car. Our party will include my parents, DH, DD(13), DS(11) and myself. We usually have Thanksgiving with my extended family at our house and my mom does most of the cooking so we are looking forward to not having to cook this year. We are on "vacation" TIA

Columbia in Celebration usually does Thanksgiving, a GREAT restaurant!

Try " The Gaylord Palms Convention Center " on Osceola Parkway , beyond the turn towards Downtown Disney , just after going through Arch.

Phone 407 586 1114 .....you will need to make a reservation soon.

You can order a fully-cooked meal at Publix and have Thanksgiving at "home."

I believe someone mentioned in another thread I've seen that you can also order from Cracker Barrel.

There are several restauraunts in the area around Disney that offer traditional Thanksgiving dining and some buffets. Here are a few. You might want to call ahead and get reservations as the I drive corridor is quite busy during Thanksgiving.

Caribe Royale Orlando : right up the way from Disney Springs on World Center Drive.
Marriot World Center : World Center Drive
Mitchells' Fish Market : A little further towards downtown in Winter Park. Easy drive on I 4 to Lee rd exit
Mimi's Café : There was a location right by Mall at Millinea, might want to check ahead though to make sure
Ruths Chris steakhouse: There is one on Sand Lake rd right near Disney area, one in Winter Park if you want to venture further and another way up in Lake Mary. We go to the one in Winter Park every year. Get reservations for this one for sure though.

I am pretty sure that most restaraunts on I drive are open with the exception of Darden restaraunts. They typically close for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Not inexpensive but supposed to be very nice and certainly a nice location at Rosen Shingle Creek -
