Disney will be offering both lunch and dinner options at many different locations. Here are the options and my suggestions for which one I would choose!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Magic Kingdom<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/be-our-guest-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Be Our Guest Restaurant<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/liberty-tree-tavern-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liberty Tree Tavern<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/tonys-town-square-restaurant-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tony\u2019s Town Square<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Since the other two are likely to be all booked up, if you&#8217;re looking for a sit down meal for Thanksgiving, Tony&#8217;s is where you should head.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Epcot<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/akershus-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Akershus Royal Banquet Hall<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/coral-reef-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biergarten <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/coral-reef-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coral Reef <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/le-cellier-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Le Cellier Steakhouse<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/rose-and-crown-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rose and Crown Dining Hall <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/sunshine-season-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sunshine Seasons<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While German delights aren&#8217;t exactly Thanksgiving-y, I chose Biergarten because they&#8217;ll be offering Thanksgiving menu items in addition to schnitzel and bratwurst, and the setting is pretty lively and fun!\u00a0 For those looking for counter service, you honestly cannot go wrong with Sunshine Seasons though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Disney\u2019s Hollywood Studios<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/hollywood-vine-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hollywood and Vine<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/brown-derby-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hollywood Brown Derby <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a dressed up Thanksgiving experience, try the Hollywood Brown Derby.\u00a0 The food is spectacular here all the time, so I can only imagine how fantastic it would be for the holiday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Disney\u2019s Animal Kingdom<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/tusker-house-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tusker House <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Well, this one is your only choice here&#8230;so&#8230;.Tusker House it is!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if you&#8217;ll be visiting Downtown Disney, you can always stop by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/earl-of-sandwich-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Earl of Sandwich<\/a> for their famous Holiday Sandwich.
