    What is the best way to make reservations for Thanksgiving meal with gluten free options. The Liberty Tree is full.

    Hi Penelope! Welcome to planDisney, and thank you for trusting us with your vacation planning question. Visiting Walt Disney World over Thanksgiving is such an excellent idea. You'll experience the parks and resorts as they transform into a winter wonderland. It’s a festive time when the holiday spirit is in the air, making for an extra special visit!

    I’m sorry to hear that Liberty Tree Tavern is fully booked, but Hakuna Matata, I’ve got some great alternatives for a memorable Thanksgiving feast. I recommend considering other options like The Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom, which offers a delicious buffet-style meal, or Garden Grill Restaurant in EPCOT for a family-style meal (Thanksgiving is all about ‘Ohana, right?)! You could also try Whispering Canyon Café at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, known for its hearty meals and fun atmosphere. And I have great news! Looking at the website, they have already announced that they will offer a special Thanksgiving menu instead of the regular menu currently offered! But for those restaurants that aren’t offering a special Thanksgiving menu, I suggest viewing each menu online before securing a reservation. If you scroll to the bottom of any Disney World restaurant website, you'll find allergy-friendly options that may suit your gluten-free needs. 

    For extra care, consider submitting a Special Dietary Request ahead of time to help plan your Thanksgiving meal and your entire stay. I understand how important this is, as I also need to make special dining accommodations for one of my kids due to a peanut allergy. The Disney Cast Members are truly amazing and dedicated to ensuring every Guest has a safe and delicious dining experience.

    While you're enjoying the holiday magic, I recommend checking out Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom. This specially ticketed event is packed with festive entertainment, holiday-themed parades, and even snowfall on Main Street, U.S.A., the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit during your visit. 

    I hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving and a holiday season, Penelope! If there’s anything else I can help with, I’m just a question away.

    Cheers,
    Brent
