However, the traditional turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, mac and cheese, and vegetable-heavy menu is perfect for this holiday meal. So, if you\u2019re planning for 2016, consider making a reservation here.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/hollywood-vine-menu\/#Dinner\">Minnie\u2019s Seasonal Dine at Hollywood and Vine<\/a>: Looking for a great character meal option?

I went with Trail\u2019s End at Disney\u2019s Fort Wilderness. I decided that home cooking like fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, and shrimp were the perfect accompaniment for the holiday. We don\u2019t really do ham or turkey much in our family anyway, so I don\u2019t feel like I\u2019m missing out on anything!<\/p>\n<p>Curious about other places you could enjoy a Christmas Day dinner?
