Thanksgiving at the Disneyland Resort

Who is ready for the holiday season to arrive?  Thanksgiving brings to me thoughts of the upcoming Christmas holiday season to mind for me.  The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, great food, spending quality time with family, and getting ready to decorate the Christmas tree!!

Have you ever spent the Thanksgiving holiday at the DIsneyland Resort?  Disneyland offers some wonderful Thanksgiving dining options for you, with many choices (and best of all--no dishes to wash!!)

Looking for dining options that are outside of the theme parks for the day?  How about a HUGE buffet over at the Disneyland Hotel?!  The Disneyland Hotel for Thanksgiving will offer a large buffet, which will feature Roast Turkey, Prime Rib, Stuffing, Sweet Potato Souffle, Cranberry-Orange Relish, Mashed Potatoes (and gravy!) and much more.  There will be salads, cheeses, shrimp, crab legs, charcuterie, smoked salmon, and amazing desserts galore such as pumpkin pie, pecan pie, cookies, cakes, macaroon pops, gourmet cupcakes, crepes flambees, chocolate fountain with dippers, and more!
