“A Disney Family Thanksgiving Feast” at the Grand Ballroom in the Disneyland Hotel offers a delectable meal with a hearty helping of Disney fantasy mixed in. Chip and Dale and other world famous Disney Characters will spread the holiday cheer as you eat your way through an all-you-can-eat buffet.

  • We celebrated Thanksgiving at Disneyland last year. It was a beautiful, fun holiday. Little did we know that it ended up being our last Vacation/Holiday with my Dad. He passed away unexpectedly at the age of 58 this past March. I am so grateful that we could have such beautiful memories with him. This Christmas, we will be celebrating his life and memories at Disneyland as well. It was a place he loved and one we always enjoyed as a family. Luckily, there is much to be thankful for!

  • We had Thanksgiving at the Paradise Pier Hotel just a few years ago and it was very special, the meal was not that terrific (we are used to our own Thanksgiving dinner of course) but the fact that we were all together at the resort was wonderful, after we were done eating our dinner, we went right to Disneyland and happened upon the holiday parade, it was so magical, as Santa came down Main Street we all waved-he waved back to us specifically and it was as though we kicked off the holiday season ourselves…a treasured moment for all of us.

  • We are spending our thanksgiving here for the first time. We are looking forward to this great event. The pictures make the anticipation almost unbearable! Can’t wait for our Holiday vacation to begin in 19 days.

  • I spent Thanksgiving 1999 in Disneyland with my kids and we ate at the Blue Bayou and what a fun treat. I was so happy to be there and not in a kitchen and the food, as always, was excellent. Disneyland is the best place to be for any holiday!

  • This is Mary from Santa Barbara, CA I love the food at Disneyland Resort..Everytime we go we have to have a charater Breakfast and they put out such a wonderful display that all 13 to 20 of us who are there is very happy and full with their wonderful food!!! Thanks Disney!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I would so do this if I could!!

  • We celebrated Thanksgiving last year at Disney and enjoyed a wonderful buffet at the Garden Grove. I’ve been watching the web sites and trying to check on our options for this year. If anyone has suggestions or links for 2010 menu’s please post. Thanks & Happy Thanksgiving!

  • This makes me want to make the drive from Vegas for Turkey Day, YUM!

  • There’s no times listed on here, but by calling the reservationist let me know it’s from 12-6pm and everything after 3pm is already filled.

  • We’re looking forward to Thanksgiving Dinner at Ohana’s at Walt Disney World. Disneyland’s dinner looks pretty amazing!

  • You’re making me hungry just by reading this blog post! 😉 The chocolate fountain is very cool.

    I have never been to a Disney Park during the holidays. I love looking at the pictures though of the parks decorated with holiday stuff.
