THANKSGIVING A LA DISNEY!

Thanksgiving can be appreciated many different ways. It isn’t where you are, but who you are sharing it with that matters.

For diehard football fans, it would not be a proper celebration without a full day watching football games on TV. Many would rank the traditional turkey dinner as less important than the football menu.

People who want to exercise away their holiday calories before they eat prefer to jog several miles or spend time swimming in a pool.

For those who really prefer not to cook or spend hours in the kitchen preparing food and then cleaning up, a good alternative is always a welcome change.

Imagine a place where you can watch all of the football games on a giant outdoor TV screen, while swimming in a pool or sunbathing in a lounge chair facing the screen.

Lunch can be pizza or burgers, which are cooked a few steps away and available on demand with deck chair service for beer and soft drinks.

To take a break from the football, you can walk a few minutes to a free first run movie premiere that will entertain all of the adults and children in your group with the nicest possible non-violent fantasy plot line.

Then in the evening, the full Thanksgiving turkey dinner with sweet potatoes, dressing, vegetables, ham, corn bread, pumpkin pie, etc. is served to you in whatever quantity you desire.

Now, where could you find this utopia? It is actually very accessible and can be easily enjoyed by boarding a Disney cruise ship in Port Canaveral, Florida the day before Thanksgiving.

With a day at sea to take full advantage of all the football games, swimming in the warm sun, jogging around the deck track, sunbathing by the pool and hot tub, and dining on turkey extraordinaire, it is an unforgettable Thanksgiving.

If this sounds to you like the perfect way to celebrate Thanksgiving, you can begin planning for your ideal Disney Thanksgiving in 2014.
