You might remember a super cute turkey sundae that appeared in Disney Springs for Thanksgiving last year. And guess what, friends!! The Turkey Sundae is coming back to Vivoli il Gelato!
While we’re diving headfirst into the Christmas season over the next few weeks, it’s important that we not forget one of the original American foodie holidays — Thanksgiving!
Coral Reef Restaurant in Epcot
There’s tons of restaurants where you can celebrate Turkey Day around Disney World. Cinderella’s Royal Table, Raglan Road, and Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill are a few of MANY dining locations that have a special Thanksgiving offering. And, now you can share a gratitude-filled meal under the sea at Coral Reef Restaurant in Epcot!
We are just HOURS away from the start of Turkey season!

It may seem like Christmas has taken over Disney, but Thanksgiving has not been forgotten! We found a turkey cupcake in Animal Kingdom, and now have news of another turkey-themed treat in Disney Springs! The creative folks at Vivoli il Gelato are bringing us a brand new Turkey Sundae! (Sounds strange? Stick with us…)

You’ve got to see this dessert to believe it! It is picture-perfect!
What’s better than a home cooked holiday meal? A holiday meal at Walt Disney World!
Nearly every restaurant in Disney World features a turkey-based or holiday meal on Thanksgiving and Christmas days. But Disney features special holiday meals at select restaurants throughout Walt Disney World on these holidays every year as well. Disney just announced this year’s list of participating restaurants, so let’s take a look!

Dining in Disneyland columnist Heather Sievers is back with a review of the Thanksgiving Feast at Disneyland Hotel in the Disneyland Resort! (And, can I just say, posts this long and in-depth take FOREVER to write; thank you, thank you Heather for this amazing report!) Here we go!
We’ve always heard how amazing the Grand Ballroom at the Disneyland Hotel is for Thanksgiving. I’ve seen photos and read about it online the past few years. This year, we decided to make it happen. I mean someone had to review it for the Disney Food Blog, right? Nothing like taking one for the team…

Let me start by telling you how elaborate the check in process was. After entering the Disneyland Hotel, we [Read more…]
Welcome James Hummel (who you may know as @DisneyNorth over on Twitter) as a guest author today! James is a font of wine knowledge, but today he’s reporting on dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern — which serves a menu akin to a typical United States Thanksgiving-type meal each night.
