Gravy is groovy, Jaime! Welcome to planDisney, where we're always thankful for questions from our fellow guests. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, and the food certainly has a lot to do with it. My family loves a traditional holiday meal with all the fixings so much that we often do "everything but the turkey" dinner at our house when we're craving potatoes, cranberry, and stuffing but don't have the energy for a whole bird. Whether you're into the sides, the bird, or the delicious desserts, there's definitely a spot for you to dine for Thanksgiving at Walt Disney World.
My fellow panelist Ashley did a fantastic job with a
Thanksgiving menu round-up this time last year, so I went and checked the menus for each of the locations she mentioned. Specific Thanksgiving offerings have not yet been posted as I'm writing this response to you. I would keep an eye on the menus for the next month or so if you find any of those options appealing, and there may be a holiday dining announcement on the
Disney Parks Blog coming in the near future.
While there's some uncertainty at this time with those locations, I do want to assure you that it is common for resort dining options to offer a take on a Thanksgiving meal. If you want to guarantee that a Thanksgiving meal will be served, simply book a reservation at
Liberty Tree Tavern in Magic Kingdom. This is my favorite restaurant in all of Walt Disney World because it is Thanksgiving every day! Picture it: succulent turkey, juicy pork loin, creamy potatoes, herbaceous stuffing, and velvety mac and cheese on an all-you-care-to-enjoy platter. If your mouth wasn't already watering, this fantastic meal is followed by Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake with vanilla ice cream! I'm getting a little verklempt just thinking about it. If you'd like to add some character to your meal, you might consider booking Minnie's Holiday Dine at
Hollywood & Vine. This buffet will feature Thanksgiving staples and Minnie and her pals in their holiday best.
I hope this helps you plan for your Turkey Day dinner, Jaime! Don't forget to make your advance dining reservations before they're all gobbled up. Please visit us again here at planDisney if there are more tasty topics we can assist you with. I am wishing you a happy holiday visit to Disney World!
Stay magical,
Scott
