Restaurant near SeaWorld

[Vacation Dad]

We will be at SeaWorld on Thanksgiving, and heading back to Anaheim at the end of the day (park closes @ 6:00pm). I would appreciate any suggestions you might have regarding a good restaurant to go for a traditional type Thanksgiving dinner. This is for a family of 5: myself, my wife and 3 (usually) well-behaved teenagers. I would prefer one reasonably close to Seaworld or along the way as we head back north. We could make a reservation in the Disneyland area, but I would prefer to not have to wait to eat until 8 or 9:00pm at night if possible. Then again, driving with a very full stomach may not be the best idea either. All ideas are welcome.

Thanks!

There's a Thanksgiving buffet at the Baleen restaurant at Paradise Point, which is only a couple of miles from Sea World. I haven't tried it, but it's a very nice restaurant, and the menu certainly looks good! Here's a link to their Thanksgiving Buffet page:

I would think that the Hilton on Mission Bay (also just a couple miles from Sea World) would also have a Thanksgiving dinner available, though I don't see anything on their web site so you'd probably have to call them.

I know there's lots of places here that do Thanksgiving dinner, but they don't really start to advertise it until a couple of weeks beforehand. And since we've never gone out for Thanksgiving I don't have any personal experience. The one most people talk about is at the Hotel del Coronado, but that would be quite out of your way if you're going to be at Sea World all day.

I found this list of restaurants in San Diego serving Thanksgiving dinner. We are eating at McCormick & Schmidts. Its downtown, but not too far away from Sea World. They are serving a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for $19.99. Here is the link to all the restaurants:
