We flew into Orlando on Thanksgiving Day 2 years ago. We had been there before on Thanksgiving but had always eaten on property. We were very surprised that there were only a couple of restaurants open. It seemed like 90% of them were closed. Unless things have changed a great deal you might want to stay on-site. Not many choices available.
The ONLY one we found open was Lone Star.....and it was crazy busy. I was served a "Twice Baked" potato that was frozen solid.I didn't specifically look for a Cracker Barrel but all the chains around Disney were closed We were really shocked due to heavy tourist week. It may be different now, but that was only 2 years ago.
I would also have to say Cracker Barrel. I can not think of any nice sit down restaurants that normally serve turkey other than them. You can also find cracker barrel off several I-4 exits in case you wanted to go outside Orlando to perhaps have a lower crowd. Perhaps some of the upper scale hotel restaurants will have turkey on the menu just for thanksgiving.
