Thanksgiving Dinner Options in Central Florida

The wonderful world of Disney

Let’s start with Walt Disney World. My kids love any reason to visit Disney World, and Thanksgiving day is no different! Disney can be an extra fun way to dine out on Thanksgiving day; especially since most of the resorts are already decorated for Christmas by this time. We love taking our time to stroll around the different resorts as well as Disney Springs to look at all the Christmas decorations!
