Hi there Anaisa, it's great to see you back here at planDisney!

It sounds like you're in for a wonderfully cozy stay this November at Disney's Wilderness Lodge - and with their big warm fireplace and holiday vibes in mind especially at that time of the year - I can't help but think of great it would be to sit down to a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner. Now before I make myself too hungry, here are a few insights and tips to help you plan ahead for your Thanksgiving meal:

In the past, previews of Thanksgiving offerings have historically showed up online at the end of October on the Disney Parks Blog or even at the start of November in the case of Disney Eats social media. Though these announcements cannot be guaranteed if this trend remains consistent this year it should hopefully provide you a bit of a head start to begin planning where you'd like to eat - as long as reservations are available!

Since it sounds like you're not planning on entering the theme parks that day, popular Thanksgiving spots like Liberty Tree Tavern, Garden Grill Restaurant and 50's Prime Time Café are out of the question so you'll likely want to aim for dining locations at the Disney Resort Hotels or Disney Springs.

In my experience last year, the Disney Springs dining locations began advertising their Thanksgiving offerings shortly after Halloween and options like Chef Art Smith's Homecomin', Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant or City Works Eatery & Pour House are great Thanksgiving day options that continue to be open later - which would work with your later arrival!

Ahead of your trip I highly recommend keeping an eye on the Disney Parks Blog as well as Disney Eats social media following the spooky Halloween season for announcements about any festive feasting to be had. Back when I was a Cast Member I personally enjoyed visiting and enjoying dining experiences on my own as an intrepid solo adventurer, but I've also found that there are communities and fan groups online where folks sometimes look for others to share their Thanksgiving at Disney with and I even recently came across a podcast aimed at independent travelers that's all about the Solo Magic you can find here at Walt Disney World Resort. In the meantime, we're always happy to have you back here at planDisney for any other answers or advice ahead of your autumn adventures!

Here's to a delicious dinner in your future, and successful solo sojourns!
