The dishes below feature all the classic Turkey Day flavors you know and love– cranberry, pumpkin, and maple. So, let’s take a look at some of these returning foods and two new ones that you can find in Disney World now!
First, there’s the new Turkey Cupcake at Sunshine Seasons in EPCOT! Can you BELIEVE how authentic that turkey looks on top??
But is it too cute to eat? Never.
The next item we’re excited to see is the Pumpkin Cheesecake Tart at The Mara at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Returning to Disney World is the Here We Come A-Croquetting at Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar in Disney Springs.
In 2022, our team of three agreed this was the best of the food we had at Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar! It’s like they took Thanksgiving turkey and turned them into delicious leftovers. They’re super crispy on the outside with turkey and stuffing all blended together on the inside. Each croquette is served on a bed of mashed sweet potatoes, which is a stroke of genius.
You can’t miss the Pumpkin Pie-spice Beignets at Scat Cat’s Club-Café at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort.
A pumpkin Mickey-shaped dessert is always a top pick for us!
Find out why we LOVE the Pumpkin-Spiced Mickey Beignets HERE!
Over at Landscape of Flavors and Everything POP, Art of Animation, and Pop Century Resorts food courts respectively, you can get the returning Maple Pot de Créme. We’ve had this dessert before and LOVED it!

You can also head to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort to try the returning Pumpkin Cheesecake at Gasparilla Island Grill! This beauty is made of pumpkin cheesecake with a graham cracker crust, chantilly cream, and pumpkin seed border.
This is another DFB-approved treat, so next time you’re in the area, give it a try!
Last but not least, Satu’li Canteen serves this Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Now THIS legendary sandwich is available year-’round, but it’s EXTRA fitting for Thanksgiving: the famous Holiday Turkey Sandwich at Earl of Sandwich!
It stuffs Earl’s yummy bread with Turkey, Cornbread Stuffing, Turkey Gravy, Cranberry Sauce and Mayonnaise!
Alright, you turkeys, say hello to the Sweet Potato Pecan Pie Mash-Up Donut at Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew in Disney Springs.
Whew! That’s a mouthful. And a TASTY one, at that. It’s a big glazed donut that’s topped with cinnamon-sugar dusted sweet potato fries, crunchy candied pecans, and sweet-salty bacon, all drizzled with a marshmallow sauce.
And you might want to pop into Salt & Straw for Thanksgiving dinner-inspired ice cream — no, really! You KNOW you want to try it, right?
After all… you might be surprised at how well the brilliant minds at Salt & Straw make TURKEY ICE CREAM work!
So while we’re decking the halls with holly, we are also grateful for the season and enjoying the Thanksgiving festivities as well. We hope you are, too!
P.S. Did you know that we at the DFB team are thankful for YOU?
