Does Goofys Kitchen have a special Thanksgiving dinner or is there somewhere else that offers a Thanksgiving meal? Thanks

    Last year I was there Dec 18 and 19 and while busy, it was manageable-but neither day was on a weekend.

    We're planning on going Mon-Tue that week and are hoping that the crowds aren't too bad.

    If you do not have advanced reservations for dinner at ANY place at the DLR you will not be having a Thanksgiving meal at any of the sit downs at the resort.

    We passed coutless lines of people trying to get a time to eat and seeing them turned away in droves was kinda sad.
