Hi Grega! Sounds like you have a fun family vacation planned this fall and there's no better place to spend quality time together like Walt Disney World Resort.
I know you had your heart set on Thanksgiving at Liberty Tree Tavern, but
Whispering Canyon Cafe at Disney's Wilderness Lodge offers a very similar dining experience.
Since you're staying at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas, have you considered
Boma - Flavors of Africa at Jambo House? It's one of our favorite restaurants at Walt Disney World Resort! The African themed cuisine offers a delicious variety of exciting foods plus some classics guaranteed to satisfy even the pickiest eaters.
Breakfast and dinner are fabulous at Boma and the menu changes everyday so there's a lot to experience! It's a very popular restaurant so you definitely want to make advanced reservations.
I hope that helps as you plan your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World Resort.
