| Does anyone recommend a good eating place for Thanksgiving day, we are over for this time and were wondering what the best plan was for that day....Do we venture to the parks, as they will be packed, we will have our annual passes so can just keep pop in later....will you be able to do this, or is it the same as Christmas Day, if you are not in a certain park by a certain time then you will not get in.
Anyhelp or advice would be grately received.
I know the day after Thanksgiving, we will be up early and onto the sales. |

| I've just booked a couple of PS with WDW CRO and I asked about the general park crowds on Thanksgiving.
She told me it is not quite as busy as Christmas so I assume no lock-outs.
My plan is to get up a bit later and head to MGM for the afternoon, then we have a PS at Prime Time.
My thinking with it being themed like a good old fashioned American 50's kitchen is that I might feel more Thanksgiving-y.
After that we may scoot across to Epcot for Illuminations.
The Fantasmic packages are also booked up pretty solid for the weeks around Thanksgiving...

| If you don't go to the parks or the major hotels for a meal, you may find your choice is pretty limited as a huge number of places close for Thanksgiving. You may find some of the 24/7 places such as Denny's, etc open and we ended up at Perkins as that was the only place we could find.
There's also not a huge choice of things to do on that day either as the shops, etc are all closed for the day. If you think of it rather like Christmas Day in the UK, that would be a pretty good description. |

| I was quite surprised that the Prime Time still had space left when I called because it's meant to book up quick.
If you call Disney they are normally pretty good with finding you something.
If not in one of the parks you could try one of the many resort hotels which will be open. There's some pretty nice one's to try too...in fact if you did something like Boma then you might even be able to eat something that *isn't* turkey

| We ate last year at the Disney swan Dolphin hotel. The food was excellent and was traditional American Thanksgiving Fayre - a buffet/carvery which was good so you could experiment and try different foods. Disney characters were on show for photos with husband and oh yes the kids as well!
We have all said we will do it again one day and it is one of our Florida Hilights.

Highly recommended - but you do need to book.
They also do a similar deal every Sunday - but slightly cheaper as I recall.

Yippeeee.....Thanks Carole, we have heard so much about this hotel & the famous Sunday Brunch that we wanted to spend Thanksgiving there. But I have been told by other owner's that they didn't do the brunch on Thanksgiving!!! I thought they might and we are over in July so we will book in for this.
Chocolate fountain....Here we come
PS....I've booked |

| | Hi! Just got off the phone with the Renaissance Hotel (across from Sea World) and they said they are in the process of renovating, so they would not be able to hold their spectacular Thanksgiving or Xmas brunch. Too bad. |
