Thanksgiving at Disney

[Disneylover:)]

We are going to Disney for Thanksgiving and I was wondering who else was going. What are your plans and where are you eating for Thanksgiving dinner? Please share!

Two places that serve "Thanksgiving Food" every day are

The Liberty Tree Tavern in MK and The Garden Grill in The Land at Epcot.

Menus HERE and HERE.

I went a few years ago on Thanksgiving and ate a Thanksgiving meal at the All-Star Sports. Hey, it did the trick!

I go to Portobello at Downtown Disney for Thanksgiving dinner. I've done this the past two years. They have a special Thanksgiving dinner available. It's wonderful. It features an appetizer of a salad or sweet potato bisque. The entree consists of turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans and cranberries. Desert is either pumpkin pie with whipped cream or a fruit cobbler with ice cream. Delicious. We've not needed an ADR to get in. Of course, that could change because I keep telling people how great it is!

We will be eating at WCC where they will serve a traditional Thanksgiving meal all day. If you are wanting a traditional Thanksgiving meal give the restaurant that you are interested in and ask what they are serving on Thanksgiving Day.

We are going (hopefully) 11-23 through 11-27 - I think we're going to try and stay at the Cabins at Fort Wilderness...there will be about 6 of us...not sure where we are eating yet...but since the cabins have a full kitchen, we may do our 'traditional' dinner there - then hit the parks after lunch.

This will be our first Thanksgiving at WDW! YEAH!

This will be our second Thanksiving at Disney, and second time we'll be at les Chefs for dinner. Not very traditional, but it works for us. We're not huge fans of turkey dinners...unless I fix them, so I'll do one at home either before we leave or after we get back...

We're celebrating Thanksgiving for the first time at WDW and sneaking in one last trip before our AP's expire. We have an early dinner ressie at Ohana and are considering a dinner show sometime during our stay for a break from the crowds.

We'll be there Nov. 18-26th. I have been trying to get Liberty Tree Tavern for weeks, but it is booked up solid. So we went with 50's Prime Time. I hope it's good, but Im still not giving up on LTT. I just know all of us are gonna have a fantastic Thanksgiving.

We are going 11/23 - 12/3 and for Thanksgiving we are going to Biergarten in Epcot. Can't wait!!!

 

[babydovesx2]

We will be ther Nov. 17-28. We will be touring AK Thanksgiving day then back to Poly for a late dinner at Ohana's. After that we plan to relax on our balcony or in the CL lounge while watching wishes.

We spent this past Thanksgiving in Disney. It was a very last minute trip (we had a bit of a family crisis and the only thing I could think of to put a smile on my boys' faces was a trip to Disney, so I booked about two weeks before). Of course at that point everything was booked solid for Thanksgiving dinner. We improvised and happily ate turkey legs lol. It was actually the first time we ever had them after watching people walk around with them for years.

One nice pixie dust moment happened just before we left. My sons' favorite restaurant is CP. I kept trying for an ADR up until the day before we left. The last call I made, the CM kindly pointed out that there would probably not be anything available given how crowded it was that weekend. I mentioned that I knew that and this was a last minute trip to cheer us up, etc. She put me on hold for a few minutes, then came back and happily announced that she had "found" us a reservation! I know full well there were no ADRs left...I know she could tell by my voice that it would really make the boys happy and somehow stuck us in. So that was our real Thanksgiving dinner, even if it was a few days late.

If I had my choice though, I'd try to get in at LTT...that seems so Thanksgiving-y to me!

Lat minute trips are a special delight, huh? We have done two trips on very short notice (7-10 days ahead). Coincidentally those two trips seem like they were extra magical.

We'll be there from Nov 19 - Nov 27. Our Thanksgiving Dinner will be at Chef Mickey's (not my first choice, but it is very good and this is where DD and DNiece wanted to have our Thanksgiving meal).

This will be our second trip during Thanksgiving Week. We really had a great time for TG 2008. Can't wait!!

Same with us. We will be eating in the Japan Pavilion (I forget the name of the restaurant ) I figured it would just be easier to have a pre-Thanksgiving dinner before we go. That's what we did last year.

We went last year for Thanksgiving week and we had dinner at Cape May Cafe. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving meal.

 

[Px4]

We will there from the 20-27th. Thanksgiving day we will be having breakfast at Cape May and Dinner at Whispering Canyon Cafe. Not sure what park we will be in, we just know we are NOT going to MK!

Those of you going in Nov, if you haven't already, you should come over and join us on the Nov planning thread!

This will be our second visit to WDW for Thanksgiving. The first year was just my husband, son, and I. We were staying at the Polynesian and had Thanksgiving at the Luau. Not a typical Thanksgiving, but lots of fun! This year we will be with my sister and her family at the VWL. We will have a late lunch at Whispering Canyon and then watch football and maybe take a bike ride to Fort Wilderness.
