 | Thanksgiving is synonymous with food! You probably already have a full dinner materialising in your head just by the mention of Thanksgiving! If you're going to be at the Disneyland Resort this Thanksgiving, 24 November 2016, then you best come with your elastic-waist pants because Disney is going to be rolling out Turkey Day favourites throughout the resort. |
One of the best perks to being at Disneyland for Thanksgiving is that the parks will be in the middle of the holiday season so you can celebrate Thanksgiving inside and then move on to Christmas outside! Many Disneyland Resort holiday meals can be very expensive. Luckily there are dining options that will fit any budget throughout the Disneyland Resort. We've grouped them accordingly so you can get an idea of what you will be able to enjoy as well as some highlights to look forward to from each.
