better. Yeah, so this is thefirst time I've worn a repeat
ear. You mentioned that when Iwalked in the room. I do have
other ears. I haven't run out ofears in case any of you are
worried. But since this is the25th anniversary, I thought I
needed to bust these back out.
Chris (01:25):
Yeah, absolutely worth
it.
Kelli (01:27):
The ones I'd thought
about wearing for tonight were
not Toy Story.
Chris (01:30):
Okay, well whatever
reason you need to wear the ears
that you've got on is is aworthy reason.

people in their mid 40s. But youknow, I am super thankful,
(02:19):
though, for the people that keepdownloading our show. Yeah. And
I just can't say enough aboutthat. It blows me away that
every week. All these peopledecide that what we had to say
is worth listening to. Thisweek, we saw folks from
Hamtramck, Michigan. Yes. And Iliterally mark as I went on, I
(02:44):
went to actually find online ifthere was a Pronunciation Guide
for that town. And I think I'msaying it right so if I'm not
I'm sorry. Coming from a townwhere people mispronounce it all
the time. Sure. So HamtramckMichigan, we saw you this week
and we are so thankful for you.
Williamstown, New Jersey. Idon't know what exit that's off
of but jersey, Franklin,Indiana, and Turin, Italy home

Oh, wow. That's cool.
That is exciting.
Chris (03:15):
It was really neat. So
we're thankful for all of you so
much.
Kelli (03:20):
Yes. And I and I would
love to show that thanks by
sending you a sticker. Yes. SoI've got some stickers burning a
hole in my shelves in my office.
So please if you hear your namecalled out then add us on some
type of social media...

sticker, at us all right, we'll
get you a sticker.
Chris (03:43):
We'll send you a sticker.
We're nice like that. Okay, onthe main street Main Street.
Okay, so really exciting newsthis week that the park hopper
passes are relaunching onJanuary the first. At first with
when the when the parks reopenedat you know once they got all
their stuff together in Floridaand they decided to reopen they
(04:04):
did not bring Park copper orfast passes or a number of other
things with them. You had to getreservations for the park. You
still will have to getreservation for whatever your
first Park is of the day. Right?
And you had to honor thatreservation, right? You had to
go to the first Park after twoo'clock in the time could change
(04:25):
each day depending on the parkbut generally speaking after two
o'clock you can hop to anotherPark.
Kelli (04:31):
Do you have to reserve
the 2nd park?
Chris (04:32):
You don't have to reserve
you can hop to any Park you want
to hop currently you won't haveto reserve I think there's sort
of letting that play out to seeif they should require
reservations for your whereveryou're hopping. Okay, but for
now it's honor your firstreservation to whatever Park and
after two o'clock if you want tobounce to another Park, go for
it.
Kelli (04:50):
Yeah, a lot of people are
excited about that.
Chris (04:52):
Very much. So yeah, um,
some additional restaurants are
opening up and that makes sensebecause they are now expanding.
capacities to about 35%. So theymay need some more places to
open. Right. So the MagicKingdom on let's start with the
earliest one first Woody'slunchbox actually opens up this
(05:12):
Wednesday.
Kelli (05:14):
Yes, I'm excited about
that grilled cheese. Oh, yeah.
And that is also where they havethe handmade pop tarts.
Chris (05:19):
It is yes, yes. And I
don't know if they'll have a
like a pared down menu orwhatever.
Kelli (05:25):
Don't be debbie downer. I
want the grilled cheese pop
tart. Can you just let me have agrilled cheese pop tart?
Chris (05:32):
Well, hopefully you'll be
able to.
Kelli (05:34):
Woody's also sells adult
beverages.
Chris (05:36):
They have a plant based
cheddar on sourdough or
something like that too.
Kelli (05:42):
Yeah, I'm not that
committed to veganism.
Chris (05:45):
Cheese can be real.
Kelli (05:48):
Cheese is my weakness.
Chris (05:49):
So and then at Magic
Kingdom Crystal Palace is
opening up on December the 13th.
It'll be like they're doing itthe other buffets where they do
family style dining,
Kelli (05:59):
But they bring it to the
table.
Chris (06:01):
Yeah. And so you'll have
things like fried chicken with
honey drizzle and southern friedcauliflower. Okay, I knew that
that would get your attention.
Yeah. Huh. Southern friedcauliflower with cheddar grits.
Kelli (06:18):
This is gonna be an
unpopular statement, I feel but
can we just go ahead and killall buffets? Can we just kill
buffets and do the family stylething? We've been to restaurants
that do a family style thingbefore and we really enjoy it.
And that in Yeah, I mean, thefact that a buffet needs a
sneeze guard.
Chris (06:39):
I'm not with you. I love
a buffet.
Kelli (06:42):
I know you do. I never
get my money's worth out of a
buffet. And I don't really wantto mingle with people. Sneezing.
Chris (06:52):
Also at the Magic Kingdom
on December The 17th is
Tomorrowland terrace. Which,honestly I can't remember the
last time I saw Tomorrowlandterrace open.
Kelli (07:00):
I can, at Mickey's very
merry christmas party. They gave
out cookies.
Chris (07:03):
That was it?
Kelli (07:03):
Yeah. I've never actually
seen it open as a restaurant.
Chris (07:06):
Or maybe it has been I
just didn't realize it.
Kelli (07:09):
So it's no longer
relaxation station?
Chris (07:11):
I don't I don't know. I
know how the relaxation station
is just that one section.
There's other places to sitthere too. Yeah. But they are
going to be opened with whatthey're calling a refreshed,
quick service menu of seafoodfavorites, including lobster
rolls, and fried shrimp.
Kelli (07:30):
Right? Why not? You love
a lobster roll.
Chris (07:33):
I do love a lobster roll.
So last week, d 23. Which is theofficial Disney fan site or you
know, fan group. They had whatthey called a fantastic worlds
sort of Expo an online virtualconference. They call it
fantastic worlds. And just a fewlittle updates that were cool.
From there. It was basically avirtual panel celebrating the
(07:57):
incredible worlds of DisneyPixar Marvel Star Wars and more.
So just a few little things thatpopped out. Guardians of the
Galaxy cosmic ray one the newride at Epcot. Which is like a
coaster ride with new cars thatwill turn while on the track.
Yes, they put those cars on thetrack and start doing push pull
(08:18):
testing for the first time.
Kelli (08:20):
Ah, I think I saw some of
that on Instagram.
Chris (08:23):
Yeah, it's moving along.
Kelli (08:24):
I follow a couple of
Imagineers on Instagram and it's
really cool stuff.
Chris (08:30):
Le Creperie de Paris is
gonna open in EPCOT in 2021.
There's already a crepe stand,this is more significant. This
is like a storefront or clothingquick service restaurant.
Kelli (08:46):
Okay. Good for them.
Chris (08:47):
I think um, so the new
Epcot nighttime spectacular
whenever they are able to dothat again, is going to be
called harmonious. Yes, but it'sgoing to have fountains that are
going to be on display all day.
Kelli (09:02):
Yes. I think that is
needed. I love that idea. I love
it. And like significant onestoo. Like significant fountains.
Chris (09:12):
Yeah, yes. You know,
you've had that huge fountain
behind Spaceship Earth. That wasjust Yeah, really cool. Yes.
Disney knows how to do afountain so I think that that's
gonna be a really nicecenterpiece.
Kelli (09:25):
What is that area called
the lagoon?
Chris (09:27):
World showcase lagoon.
Kelli (09:30):
Okay, it's much simpler
than I thought it was. I thought
it was some kind of speciallagoon. I keept wanting to call
it typhoon Lagoon, but that'sdefinitely not, it's a park.
Chris (09:39):
Yep. And Remy's
Ratatouille adventure has been
pushed back again to some pointin 2021. It won't be there this
December. Shucks. Okay, so inentertainment news. Disney is
considering all these liveaction movies that they have
(10:00):
production or even had scheduledfor earlier this year. Like they
haven't made a decision yet. Butdo they go ahead and decide to
put these out on Disney plus aseither premium options like
Mulan, where you purchase it fora number of months, or free like
they're doing with Soul? Right.
So those are Cruella starringour two favorite Emma's. Emma
(10:22):
stone and Emma Thompson.
Kelli (10:26):
Wow.
Chris (10:27):
Emma Stone plays Cruella
De Ville. You got to see some of
those pics...
Kelli (10:30):
And so what is Emma
Thompson?
Chris (10:32):
I don't know. Just
another of our favorite Emma's.
I don't know.
Kelli (10:36):
Okay. I would've thought
she would've been Cruella.
Chris (10:40):
Emma Thompson may be the
mom in the movie. Okay, so who
knows?
Kelli (10:45):
Yeah, but we do love
them.
Chris (10:46):
We love them both.
Pinocchio, starring Tom Hanks asGipetto directed by Robert
Zemeckis. They're thinking aboutthat one and Peter Pan and
Wendy. Starring Yara shahidi. AsTinkerbell is a woman of color,
and she has been on the seriesblackish and grownish. Okay. So
that's cool. Okay, so they'rethinking about bringing those
(11:11):
straight to Disney plus but noreal firm word yet. Black
Panther sequels set to startrecording July 2021.
Kelli (11:21):
Ah, yes, gosh, I mean,
I'm excited about it. But man,
how do you do that withoutChadwick Boseman.
Chris (11:27):
Right and no comment on
how they'll continue without
Chadwick boseman. But rumor millis just high and your fan people
out there really want Suri? Whowas his super smart sister in
the movie? They really want herto take up the mantle of Black
Panther. That's what the fanpeople want. Right. And she
(11:50):
Leticia Wright who played her isgoing to be in the next movie
along with Napita Nuongo,Winston Duke and Angela Bassett,
who were all in the last movie.
So they'll all be in it again.
So we'll see. We shall see. Oh,man, that it's gonna be weird.
Kelli (12:08):
Yes, yes.
Chris (12:09):
And this is a Disney
related, but it's a big deal in
our family, because we're kindof a comic book family. And
Wonder Woman is a big dealaround here. So I thought I'd
throw this in there that WonderWoman 1984 is actually going to
be opening up in theaters, ontheaters and on HBO max on
Christmas Day stay, which Ithink is a really cool thing to
(12:29):
do. Oh, actually. What's hername? Patty Jenkins is the
director, writer and director ofboth the Wonder Woman movies.
She said in all caps, shetweeted out "the time has come."
And then she said at some point,you had to choose to share any
love and joy you had to giveover everything else. We love
(12:50):
our movie as we love our fans.
So we truly hope that our filmbrings a little bit of joy and
reprieve to all of you thisholiday season. That's great.
That's awesome.
Kelli (12:57):
You know, the reality is,
is I think they can still launch
these in the theaters whenthings get back to normal if
things go back to normal. Andpeople will still come to see
them in the theaters.
Chris (13:07):
Yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure.
Kelli (13:09):
Right. Theater goers will
still go see it.
Chris (13:11):
For sure. We would. Yeah.
Kelli (13:14):
Yeah. So that's very
cool. I have a trivia question
for you. Okay. You're atnegative 400.
Chris (13:21):
I know which is a good
thing for anybody that hasn't
been paying attention.
Kelli (13:24):
In honor of the Toy Story
anniversary.
Chris (13:26):
Oh, boy.
Kelli (13:27):
What is the name of
Andy's neighbor in Toy Story?
Chris (13:32):
The mean kid.
Kelli (13:33):
Yes. You have to know
this.
Chris (13:36):
I don't.
Kelli (13:37):
You're kidding me? Okay,
come on. You got this.
Chris (13:43):
I don't. I really don't.
It is gonna be a wild guess. Ismean he's got a skull on his
shirt. I can I can draw him. Ireally I can't draw him either.
But he does all the mean stuffto the toys.
Kelli (13:55):
Think of his little
sister saying his name.
Chris (13:58):
Reggie. I don't know.
Tommy, Tommy. Name's Tommy.
Kelli (14:03):
His name is Sid.
Chris (14:04):
Sid as in sadistic?
Kelli (14:08):
I don't know. I can't
believe you didn't get that I'm
so disappointed. Again like ourpeople are thinking this is like
a beat up on Chris segment. It'snot you should have known that.
You should have known that. Ifwe were playing in like a trivia
game situation. You would haveknown that.
Chris (14:26):
I would not have gotten
that.
Kelli (14:26):
Yes, you would have known
that.
Chris (14:30):
I did disappoint. Are you
ready for tomorrowland.
Kelli (14:32):
I'm ready for
Tomorrowland. So this is
something you and I've talkedabout before. But the timing has
never worked out, obviously,thanksgiving at Disney World.
So we have heard about howawesome it is to do Thanksgiving
(14:55):
at Disney World. And so Ithought I would go through,
obviously this year isdifferent. Sure, it's very
different. But I thought I wouldgo through and talk about some
of the things that Disney doesfor Thanksgiving. Okay, that
people can enjoy. Okay, you gota weird look on your face. Are
you worried about this? For somereason? Does this overlap with
your segment? In some ways?
Chris (15:15):
Almost Exactly.
Kelli (15:16):
Is it really?
Chris (15:17):
It really does.
I'm saying it's tomorrowland andbecause we've never done it, you
can't say it's world showcasebecause we haven't done it.
No, but I can say it's worldshowcase because we have eaten
at one of the restaurants andI've had the meal.
Kelli (15:29):
Liberty tree tavern? Well
you can talk about liberty, tree
Tavern.
Chris (15:33):
And others, but let's go
for it. It'll be great.
Kelli (15:39):
Again, people, this is
not planned.
Chris (15:41):
We just come with our
hair on fire.
Kelli (15:47):
So apparently,
Thanksgiving Day is one of the
busiest days of the year in theparks. Did you know that?
Chris (15:52):
Yeah, Thanksgiving and
Christmas Day are bonkers.
Kelli (15:55):
So like people who live
in Florida, go there?
Chris (15:58):
Or people who they they
just want to be there during the
holidays to get away from theircrazy families? Yeah, so they
decide to go hang out with amillion other people getting...
Kelli (16:08):
away from the crazy
families. Okay, so here's just a
few of the restaurants that havein the past had Thanksgiving or
are having it this year, becausethe reports online are kind of
all over the place as to whereThanksgiving meals are this
year.
Chris (16:21):
This is great, we've got
20 minutes of Thanksgiving. This
will be great. I'm so excited.
Kelli (16:27):
So port Orleans,
Riverside.
Chris (16:30):
Oh, I don't have that
one.
Kelli (16:31):
Okay, Key West. Beautiful
Saratoga Springs, Contemporary.
This is a cool one. So theseresorts are all over like some
of them are counter service, andsome of them are table service.
Okay, so this next one iscounter service - Captain cooks
at the Polynesian.
Chris (16:48):
Oh, that would be an
interesting place.
Kelli (16:49):
Yeah, I have to say
Captain cooks is a very
underrated counter service.
We've mentioned this before.
It's worth a segment in and ofitself. But so at Captain cooks
This is counter service at thePoly for $15.99. You get oven
roasted turkey, mashed potatoeswith gravy, stuffing, green bean
casserole, cranberry sauce andpie.
Chris (17:07):
Oh my gosh.
Kelli (17:08):
I know. Right? That's a
steal. That's a steal. That is a
counter service steal, is whatthat is. And Captain cooks does
a great job. They do a fantasticjob. I'm kind of surprised that
doesn't have a little bit of anAsian flair. Yeah. Because
normally their stuff does. Butin any case, pop century, Art of
Animation, Beach Club, grandflo. Now, I want to say it was
(17:34):
on like one of our first tripsto Disney. When we heard about,
like you could do a fullThanksgiving meal. Yeah, I've
heard that for a long time. Iremember us talking about it a
long time ago. And for somereason, in my mind, I was
picturing grand flo. You know,like sitting down at a really
nice table with linens.
Chris (17:56):
Turkey and the trimmings
and all that...
Kelli (17:58):
right times change. I'm
totally for Captain cooks now.
But still. That's what I hadimagined. Sure, Disney. But the
reality is there's all kinds ofstuff that all kinds of
different versions of that.
Sure. So anyway, grand flodefinitely has it in Narcoosees.
Yeah, I saw a couple sites saidthey also have it at the grant
(18:18):
flo cafe.
Chris (18:22):
Oh, yeah.
Kelli (18:24):
Fort wilderness camp
ground does a backyard feast.
Chris (18:27):
Oh, that would be
wonderful.
Kelli (18:29):
Isn't that awesome?
Chris (18:29):
That would be so much
fun.
Kelli (18:31):
That would be fun. I
couldn't verify they're doing it
this year, but they normally doa backyard show.
Chris (18:35):
I'm sure there are some
changes this year.
Kelli (18:37):
Yeah, they normally do a
backyard face with Mickey and
Minnie.
Chris (18:40):
That would be great.
Kelli (18:41):
Isn't that cool? And this
is the one that I thought was
the coolest was WildernessLodge, Whispering Canyon.
Chris (18:46):
Oh, I bet that's
wonderful. Yeah.
Kelli (18:48):
Did you have this one on
your list?
Chris (18:49):
I don't.
Kelli (18:50):
Okay. Not overlapping at
all.
Exact same topic and yet we arenot overlapping. So whispering
Canyon, is that the one wherethey yell at you?
Chris (18:58):
Yes.
Kelli (18:59):
Okay. So that's the one
where like, if you ask for
ketchup, they bring you everybottle of ketchup and just dump
it at your table. Yeah, I lovewhispering Canyon. Okay, so they
call their Thanksgiving acornucopia feast. Oh, because
let me tell you what you get.
Salad, handcarved oak smokedbeef brisket, corn bed,
cornbread, seasonal vegetables,mashed potatoes, smoked turkey
(19:22):
breast, Maple glazed ham,stuffing, mashed potato brown
sugar sweet potatoes, gibletgravy, cranberry relish and
dessert.
Chris (19:31):
Oh, yeah. That's,
rockin'.
Kelli (19:33):
That's right is a
cornucopia.
Chris (19:35):
Yes. I mean, they got all
the meats.
Kelli (19:37):
Right. They got all the
meats. Like Arby's, we got the
meats. So yeah, so I thinkwhispering Canyon based on what
I saw online, has the coolestatmosphere for a Thanksgiving
meal and like a really cool vibeand tons and tons of food. There
are also some restaurants in theparks, Liberty tree tavern, they
(19:58):
always, they have Thanksgivingevery day. Right. EPCOT Garden,
Epcot garden grill. Hollywoodstudios, Hollywood and Vine has
it. And they're also charactermeals. You can eat Thanksgiving
with Cindy. Cindy's royal tablehas a Thanksgiving meal.
Chris (20:17):
Except they're not doing
the people right now.
Kelli (20:20):
No, there's characters.
Chris (20:22):
Wow.
Kelli (20:22):
There are characters for
the Thanksgiving meal. Yes. They
have turkey breast, gravy,dressing, mashed potatoes or
mashed sweet potatoes, greenbeans and cranberry jam. That's
what Cindy's serving. Yeah,there are other character meals.
But that was sort of the mainone that I saw. And you
mentioned a few of these atDisney Springs from last week,
Maria and Enzos, Enzos hideaway,the Edison, Raglan road. Hello,
(20:46):
you didn't mention homecoming
Chris (20:48):

pudding.
Chris (20:52):
Yeah, I know.
Kelli (20:53):
You got that on your
list. Aristocrepes with the
sweet potato bubble waffle.
Naturally, Earl of Sandwich.
Chris (21:04):
Yeah, naturally.
Kelli (21:06):
Did you have Gideons on
your list?
Chris (21:08):
I did not.
Kelli (21:09):
This is fun, it's like
playing old maid. Do you have
yellow fish? So um, GideonsBakehouse launched, I follow
them on Instagram just becausesometimes I want to gain weight
without actually putting food inmy mouth. And so they actually
(21:29):
launched a pre orderThanksgiving thing and they're,
by the way, they're sold out forpre orders. Okay, so...
Chris (21:35):
You're too late.
Kelli (21:36):
You late. You missed it.
Gideons Bakehouse had a specialcake. Oh, a double frosted
spiced pumpkin caramel cake. Canwe say that again? A double
frosted...
Chris (21:55):
Because that's what you
need.
Kelli (21:56):
...spiced pumpkin,
caramel cake. This is a...I'm
gonna say it slowly... triplestack vanilla cinnamon cake
layered in two butter creams.
Pumpkin and salted caramel.
(22:21):
Gideons don't play. They theyare unapologetically covered in
sugar and calories our cookiesweigh a pound and a half kind of
a situation.
Chris (22:30):
You don't come here to
lose the weight.
Kelli (22:33):
Yeah, it's, Gideon says
no shame. It's like Hardee's.
Chris (22:37):
Just like Hardee's.
Kelli (22:39):
No shame. So here were my
three favorites. Okay. I said if
you and I were going to do thison Thanksgiving, I think I would
want to do whispering Canyon.
Okay. I think it'd be my numberone. Sure. How do you feel about
that?
Chris (22:53):
I'm down with that. Based
on what you said they serve you.
Kelli (22:56):
Yes, cornucopia. Yes.
Whispering Canyon is also knownfor having one of the best vegan
meals in the parks our bestvegan meals on property.
Apparently they have an amazingvegan skillet. Yeah. So
whispering Canyon, I think is mynumber one. Okay. Number two,
which is this is ridiculous thatI'm saying this is number two.
Homecoming.
Chris (23:20):
Well, I mean, if
Whispering Canyon is number one
is ridiculous to me. Homecomingshouldn't be on the list at all.
Kelli (23:27):
But you know, we have
such a love for homecoming.
Chris (23:30):
That's what I'm saying.
Kelli (23:31):
It's hard.
Chris (23:32):
I don't know how
homecoming can be number two, on
anything.
Kelli (23:37):
And then I think number
three is Cindy's table. Okay, I
really debated between Cindy'sand Captain cooks.
Chris (23:44):
Yeah, that I mean, it's
totally different.
Kelli (23:47):
Completely different vibe
vibes. Completely different
vibes. All three of mine aretable service.
Chris (23:52):
You're not gonna go wrong
with the nostalgia of eating
Thanksgiving dinner in Cindy'scastle.
Kelli (23:57):
I think I you know, I
realized when I was putting my
list together, I definitely amdrawn more to a table service
Thanksgiving meal. Because Yeah,I don't think I want to counter
service Thanksgiving meal, butif I did, I would totally go to
Captain cooks. But I'm down forWhispering Canyon. I'm really
down. We loved it there when wehad breakfast. We loved it. And
(24:18):
we've only been once but it wasvery good.
Chris (24:21):
It was it was delicious.
It was fun. They yelled at thosepeople in the lobby for not
being adults.
Kelli (24:29):
It's great.
Chris (24:32):
Well, you know what?
Kelli (24:33):
So that was it. So that
was the Thanksgiving of our
future. Well, now you're gonnatalk about I guess the
Thanksgiving of our past.
Chris (24:40):
Well, I'm gonna talk
about the Thanksgiving that we
could do right now. So I thoughtwe've had the Thanksgiving meal
at Liberty tree tavern. And itis something that we've always
talked about doing was sincethat same trip, I thought about
it to where It'll be interestingto be at Disney during
(25:05):
Thanksgiving to see what yourresort might be doing. Right.
But what I and having had theLiberty tree meal, I thought I
would take personal privilegeand let's talk about
Thanksgiving at Disney as it istoday. Okay. So...
Kelli (25:22):
That is, I must say, I
mean, that is a bit of a broad
stroke for world showcase.
Chris (25:26):
It's my show.
Kelli (25:27):
Because world showcase.
It's meant to be something thatwe've done.
Chris (25:31):
Well, we have eaten at
Liberty Tree Tavern. We've been
we've eaten it a number of theseplaces.
Kelli (25:36):
Broad stroke.
Chris (25:36):
Not necessarily
Thanksgiving.
Kelli (25:38):
Broad stroke.
Chris (25:39):
So let's just pretend
that we're at Disney right now.
And we're going to be in one ofthese, each of these parks. And
we're going to, I'm going tosuggest where we should eat at
the park at the parks. Okay. AndDisney Springs. Okay?
Kelli (25:57):
So you're not doing any
resorts then?
Chris (26:00):
No, okay. No, I don't
have any resorts on here.
Kelli (26:02):
Now see, look, if we had
coordinated this, I could have
done resorts.
Chris (26:05):
I know. But we don't. But
we don't. We don't. Okay, there
you go. So, so, as you said, atthe moment, if you're at the
Magic Kingdom, there are anumber of places where you can
eat on Thanksgiving Day, you caneat it. Tony's Town Square, Mm
hmm. If you just decide, youknow what, I'm not I don't
really care if we havetraditional Thanksgiving. I'm
(26:27):
wanting Italian today. But we'reall gonna sit down together and
eat it together and be thankful.
Cindy's Royal table, you canhave Thanksgiving meal there.
The Plaza restaurant has somevery, you know, comfort food
type items, like meatloaf andmashed potatoes. They've got a
turkey club sandwich. They'vegot some brisket, burger, things
like that. Again, sit downrestaurants is where I focused.
(26:49):
Be our guest for lunch anddinner right now. It's all sit
down. They're not doing anycounter service. But I chose the
Liberty tree Tavern as the placeto go. Okay, it's got that Magic
Kingdom. Yes, it's got that vibeof of the, you know, The Birth
of a Nation and and those thingsthat we are sort of thankful for
(27:12):
as American citizens.
Kelli (27:16):
And an amazing vegan
meatloaf.
Chris (27:18):
They have an amazing
vegan meal. Oh, yeah, maybe
maybe better than their actualThanksgiving dinner. But they
like you said they serve turkeypot roast pork loin, mashed
potatoes, stuffing, green beans,and toffee cake, which is just
delicious. So so that's where Iwould go. If possible, you got
to get reservation there. But inthe Magic Kingdom, that's where
(27:39):
I would go if I wanted atraditional Thanksgiving meal.
Jumping over to Epcot now thatwe can park hop. There's tons of
places to eat at Epcot for sitdown service. Right you've got
Mexico you've got Germany,you've got places in Japan and
Canada, and England, and Moroccoand all these places.
Kelli (28:01):
I've heard that Germany
is a good time.
Chris (28:02):
Germany is a good time
I've been there before it is a
it's it's fun. But you got tohave you got to like other
people. Oh, well.
Kelli (28:09):
Oh well.
Chris (28:10):
But Thanksgiving is sort
of a uniquely American holiday
so I'm sticking to Americanmeals and traditional
Thanksgiving if possible so canthe garden grill that you
mentioned here's where I wouldsort of recommend. I've only
eaten there once it's it's sortof thing they it is a modified
character meal so you meet Chipand Dale. Sometimes Pluto or
(28:31):
Goofy's running around up there.
Kelli (28:32):
Oh, the Garden grill is
the one that turns. I always
think it's the food court.
Chris (28:36):
No, the garden grill is
the restaurant upstairs. Yes, it
rotates very slowly, but you canlook down over into the land
ride. Yeah. And and again, theyhave a a very traditional turkey
grilled beef with chimichurrimashed potatoes, a garden salad,
seasonal veggies, mac andcheese, Herb stuffing and
strawberry shortcake. It's $55for an adult and $36 for a kid
(29:01):
but it's all you can eat. Now ifyou if you want something
American, but traditionalThanksgiving turkey is a quick
service meal but they the newRegal Eagle smokehouse over in
the American Pavilion.
Kelli (29:16):
Oh, right. We haven't
been there.
Chris (29:17):
No, we haven't been there
yet. But I gotta tell you some
of that stuff looks really good.
Memphis dry rub pork ribs. Theyoffer North Carolina barbecue.
Kelli (29:27):
Is that vinegar based?
Chris (29:28):
I you know, I don't know.
They didn't really get into thethe specifics there. But they
also offer a BBQ jackfruitburger. And remember, we've had
jackfruit before. It's like,yeah, it's tastes like barbecue,
right? It's delicious. Yeah, soI bet they would do a good job
with that. Um, so but myrecommendation is for
(29:49):
traditional is garden grill Chipand Dales harvest feast.
Kelli (29:54):
You don't want to just
walk through and grab a turkey
leg, keep going?
Chris (29:56):
So I actually put that on
here. Want to just grab a turkey
leg at any one of the parks.
Hollywood studios, Hollywood andVine I almost chose primetime
50s yeah 50s primetime cafebecause Minnie's thing, it's
Minnie's character thing andit's set up for the holidays.
But they also have a a turkeymashed potatoes and cornbread
(30:20):
stuffing meal on their menu thatyou can order also comes with
sauteed green beans, turkeygravy and cranberry orange
relish. They've got a chocolates'mores pie, a banana cream pie
and Apple blueberry pie. So Imean they got all the pies man,
which is another nice thingabout Thanksgiving - pies. So
and they did the Minnie partythere the holiday party that
(30:45):
Minnie hosts. So Animal Kingdomdoesn't really have anything.
Kelli (30:52):
I saw that tippins has
like a thing.
Chris (30:54):
Tiffins has a good meal,
you can go there and get a good
meal. But but it's not you'renot going to get it like a
traditional right? Atraditional...
Kelli (31:04):
Should Animal Kingdom
really be serving Turkey?
Chris (31:07):
They're not, they're
serving octopus on the appetizer
menu though.
Kelli (31:11):
I mean, if we're going to
be so concerned that we're use
paper straws throughout thepark, we really shouldn't be
serving Turkey. I'm just saying.
Chris (31:19):
So let's bounce over
there and there's lots of places
to eat at Animal Kingdom.
Tiffins is great. It's high endfine dining. Someone put that
garbage Rainforest Cafe on theirlist. And I was like, don't ever
go there for anything.
Kelli (31:35):
I begged you to go there
probably four years ago and we
walked out and I said I'll neverask you to do that again.
Chris (31:41):
I said thank you.
Kelli (31:42):
It is a very kitschy
place. And it's you know,
Chris (31:46):
it used to be really
cool. It felt like it used to be
really cool.
Kelli (31:50):
It's like really cool in
the late 90s.
Chris (31:54):
But you got tiffins which
is really great. You got Satuli
canteen and you got the Yak andYeti both for table service and
for counter service. Yeah, Yakand Yeti's gonna be like Asian,
you got noodles and rice friedrice and things like that. It's
it's good, though. It's reallygood. So jumping over to Disney
Springs. I'm with you on theEarl of Sandwich holiday turkey.
(32:15):
I'm gonna try my best toactually get off the original
and get the turkey sandwich thistime when we go in three weeks.
Kelli (32:22):
Honey, I don't want you
to order something that you're
not....
Chris (32:25):
I'm gonna get both of
them. I'm just...
Kelli (32:26):
Hashtag you could just
get both of them.
Chris (32:28):
There you go. I win. The
daily poutine. You didn't
mention this one at DisneySprings. This so this is the
gobbler poutine. So it's frenchfries, smothered with shredded
turkey gravy and cheese curds.
Wow, that's a winner. Yeah. ArtSmith's pumpkin bread pudding. I
got that on my list.
(32:50):
Aristacrepes. So this the sweetpotato. Have you seen these
bubble waffles? Yeah, they arereally cool.
Kelli (32:56):
Yeah, they're cool.
Chris (32:57):
I mean, and to call it a
bubble waffle. You can totally
see exactly what it's exactlywhat it is. It's hard to
describe a waffle. If youimagine a bubble waffle, you'll
you'll get there.
Kelli (33:07):
And I'm not a huge sweet
potato fan. But I would give
So of all of those. Whichone would you pick? Then if we
that a go.
Chris (33:09):
Because it's got vanilla
ice cream, chopped pecans and
toasted marshmallow fluff on it.
Yep, come on. Looks really likea good time. And something else
cool I thought you can do islike if you know first if we're
in a DVC place, right and we gota one or two bedroom apartment.
And so we've got a full kitchena full like dining table. I
(33:33):
thought it'd be a really smartchoice to call up the polite pig
over Disney Springs. And they'llmake you a full meal you ordered
on the 23rd so we can order ittomorrow to pick it up on
Wednesday. And you can orderanything you want off the menu,
the main dish, the sides, thewere at Disney on Thanksgiving?
Which one?
(33:54):
desert, they'll prepare it allyou got to pick it up on
Wednesday and just heat it up inyour apartment on on
Thanksgiving Day. And you've gota full meal from the polite p
I would pick the politepig in the apartment.
g. So pretty good deal. Thy got smoked turkey with sid
s and desserts and everythingight? The menu of the polite
ig looks like a rockin
Kelli (34:22):
Okay, what about now that
you know whispering Canyon
exists?
Chris (34:26):
I'd still pick the polite
pig.
Kelli (34:28):
Really?
Chris (34:28):
I don't know. Maybe? You
know? It's a good question.
Kelli (34:32):
I do want to say I think
you you brushed a little broad
with your world showcase segmentinto the Tomorrowland territory.
But with it being Thanksgivingand all.
I think it's fine.
We make up our own rules.
We spent 20 minutes talkingabout Thanksgiving at Disney.
What could...
Chris (34:51):
What's the worst that
could happen?
Kelli (34:53):
I know who hates
Thanksgiving?
Chris (34:57):
Who hates hates hearing
about Thanksgiving meals? 20
minutes. The answer is Nobody.
Nobody Nobody does. Nobody does.
So I'm actually I'm, we're gonnado that one day we're gonna
order from polite pig and bringit to the apartment.
Kelli (35:11):
Not on Thanksgiving, just
a regular day. Okay. Okay.
