Thanksgiving Meal

ssn · 01-09-2008

Was wondering what recommendations anyone had for Thanksgiving Day dinner.

My parents will be along with us this trip. As well as that my mom informed me that her sister who loves in Kissimmee will be joining us for dinner that day. Since she is going to be with us, that leaves any park restaurants out (since she won't have park tickets).

I originally thought about Hoop-de-Doo as something fun, but I think I am going to have to go with a "nice" traditional dinner. Few thoughts were Cali Grill and Narcossee's, but since DD7 will also be with us, I'm not so sure.

If you want "fun", try doing the Mickey's BBQ at the Fort. It is the same as the BBQ (dancing with the characters, country music band, cowboy rope tricks, etc) but they serve Thanksgiving dinner in lieu of the BBQ.

We did this last year (2007) and we all had a great time!!!

Look at the atmosphere for "nice". We are told that all the restaurants serve essentially the same meals.

For a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner, I would suggest Liberty Tree Tavern.

Yes, LTT serves pretty much a Thanksgiving Dinner every night!

What about Whispering Canyon? I do believe that they serve traditional Thanksgiving fare that day.

I thought the same thing too...but I don't think they'll be going into the park as her sister won't have admission tickets....

That would be a pretty good doggie bag!

I WAS JUST GOING TO START THIS SAME THREAD!!!!! We'll be there the SAME time!!!!!

On another board, a member said they went to 'Ohana this past Thanksgiving. They wanted to eat their traditional fare...they were disappointed when they had a special Thanksgiving menu that day, with Turkey and all. BUT they were PLEASANTLY surprised when they got to eat! She said everything was INCREDIBLE! Turkey, stuffing, mashed, veggies...all with a Polynesian flare. She said it was GREAT! That's what I'm SERIOUSLY considering right now...

YAY! WE'LL BE THERE FOR THANKSGIVING!

Hmmmm.....Ohana sounds interesting!! I never thought that they would have Thanksgiving food! Do you happen to know if they still had the hula dancer/singer lady for the kids? DD loves that! That sounds like a good option, thanks for the info!!!

Cali Grill is my next choice since we've never been there. Do you think they would have turkey, etc.?

I think they still did have all the fun stuff...I will find out for sure and let you know!

As for Cali Grill...I have no clue.

Ohana's!!!!

I think maybe something outside the park I would go for California Grill (awesome anytime) or Artist Point.

I don't think so. Their menu is pretty far from turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and candied yams with pumpkin pie for dessert.
