Thanksgiving Day Buffet in the Grand Ballroom

[PirateMickey]

Today is the first day to make your Priority seating arrangements for the Thanksgiving Day Buffet in the Grand Ballroom at the DL Hotel.

We have enjoyed our family T-Day meal there for the past five years, as well as the other Buffets that they offer during Mother's Day and Easter.

The T-Day event has always ranked the best of the three.

They have a mouth watering carving table, an appetizer table with ice cold crab and shrimp, and the chocolate fountain at the dessert bar is awesome!

Call Disney Dining at 714-781-DINE.

Seating is available from 2-7 pm.

They do take walk-ups if room allows, but it is HIGHLY recommended that you make PS arrangements ASAP if you would like a preferred seating time.

This event usually sells out of PS arrangements within the first week or so, so do like we did and get yours now!

Adults $67.00
Kids (3 to 9) $16.99

A 15% gratuity plus sales tax will be added to the total amount.

As is customary, Premium AP'ers enjoy a 15% discount (YAY!!!)

See you there!!! :yea:

We are joining the PirateMickey clan, so the Wolfpack will be there also. It's become tradition for us....and I don't have to cook!

Re: Thanksgiving Day Buffet in the Grand Ballroom

great idea wolfy!!! and If it's anything like the WDW mother's day brunch it will be delicious. I wish WDW had special events like this.

^^^^^^^

Yeah, the Mother's Day, Easter and Turkey Day events are similar.

The difference being the main course selections, salads, etc...

The other two are "Brunches", so they also have omelets to order, and some other breakfast type stuff, with a smaller section for other food.

They each have their own personality, and have all been a blast!

Oh, and the chocolate fountain has been at all of them! Mmmm good!

I hope you guys have a fantastic time! I remember Wolfy did a TR for one of the buffets (I think it was you, Wolfy!) and man.. fancy and tasty all in one place!

Re: Thanksgiving Day Buffet in the Grand Ballroom

Stuffed with stuffing! That sounds yummy!

And yes, Wolfy did a great trip report on the Buffet with some mouth watering photo's of the culinary offerings.

I'm sure that she'll give a repeat performance this year as well.

Enjoy!

Re: Thanksgiving Day Buffet in the Grand Ballroom

So, the dinner is a buffet, but it also runs for quite a few hours, correct? It's not like "Let's sit down *the whole room sits* and enjoy this feast"? How many seats are at a table? Can you reserve specific tables?

[PirateMickey]

Re: Thanksgiving Day Buffet in the Grand Ballroom

Seating times vary by availability.

The doors open at 2pm, with seating times up to 7pm.

The tables are set up for a minimum of 2 guests. Some are square, and some round. The square ones can be put together to make longer ones to accomodate your group.

The round ones accomodate from 4 up to about 12.

These meals are not something that you want to rush through. Plenty to eat, and no rush to eat it. We have never been asked to gulp our meals down and leave.

We avg about an hour and a half up to two hours. That includes time to walk around and check out the sights, visit with friends at other tables and say Hi to the characters.

It's a meal worth enjoying!

Re: Thanksgiving Day Buffet in the Grand Ballroom

This sounds wonderful! Does anyone know if they have a Christmas Day Buffet in the Grand Ballroom?
We will be in Anaheim over Christmas and this sounds like the perfect Christmas lunch.

Re: Thanksgiving Day Buffet in the Grand Ballroom

They used to, but they cancelled it a few years ago.

They also had a Father's Day BBQ event (which was GREAT, BTW).

I guess they didn't have enough guests to keep those going.

Enjoy!

Re: Thanksgiving Day Buffet in the Grand Ballroom

really? I thought Christmas Day was one of the most popular days for Disneyland.

For attendance yes, but this thread is about the Buffets held at the DL Hotel, specifically the T-Day one.

The last I heard, they stopped doing the Christmas Day event and the Father's Day BBQ event due to lack of guest participation.

Enjoy!

Re: Thanksgiving Day Buffet in the Grand Ballroom

I had a PM asking me about the T-Day Buffet (they knew that we went every year), so I thought I'd bring life back to this thread.

Enjoy!

Re: Thanksgiving Day Buffet in the Grand Ballroom

As of late last week, the Thanksgiving Day Buffet has been sold out.

In past years, they have let folks form a stand-by line in case of cancellations/no-shows.

Hope to see you there!

Enjoy!

Re: Thanksgiving Day Buffet in the Grand Ballroom

It's hard to believe that it's already time for our T-Day trip.

Anyone else enjoying the Buffet or any of the other T-Day feasts at the Resort?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Re: Thanksgiving Day Buffet in the Grand Ballroom

I'll be there...but you knew that!
