 Hey friends and happy Thanksgiving today. I'm gonna be dining at a restaurant I've never dined at it on Disney property and they're actually gonna be doing a special Thanksgiving dinner And then we're gonna follow up with the trip to the Magic Kingdom to check out all the Christmas cheer and To end it with my little holiday special I've been working on so Let's go do this The restaurant that I'm talking about is the Garden Grove and as you can see they're doing a special Thanksgiving dinner And it's right here at the Walt Disney World swan hotel I've never been here, but I don't think any other restaurants on Disney property are doing a special Thanksgiving dinner So when I seen the opportunity to grab this I grabbed it and I'm excited to try a new restaurant But one thing I want to point out here in the swan hotel is the gigantic Holiday chocolate Santa display that they have here look at this isn't it beautiful? I don't even know they were doing that this year, but it gives you all the specs right here including 960 man hours to actually make this that's a lot of time time well spent I say Normally this restaurant is an all-you-can-eat character buffet and like I said, I've never been inside of it So I don't know what to expect. I know they're probably not gonna do the buffet But it's probably gonna be like family style kind of like how Liberty Tree is or wishbone came in cafe And that's okay with me. I like listening to the Christmas music They have in the walkway here and as you can see we have kimono's which is the karaoke sushi bar Which we will definitely be visiting sometime soon and then the garden Grove. I Am excited to go to the Magic Kingdom tonight But it's not gonna be till a little bit later The only time I can get a reservation today was like at one o'clock So we'll go there once he gets a little darker out because I like looking at all the pretty lights at Magic Kingdom Here's a quick look at the Thanksgiving dinner menu, and I have to say the price is only 3699 that is super cheap compared to like the other offerings that they have like if you went to Liberty Tree be about $55 we have bottomless cup of soup with turkey noodle soup and then presented family style to the Table all you can eat Yep, this is what I'm talking about turkey ham stuffing mashed potatoes sweet potatoes green bean casserole, and then even Desserts this place looks so cool. There's a gigantic tree right in the middle of the dining room And it's got little lanterns that flicker really cool. I'm liking it here They have a selection of different wines and beers, but no blood light But thankfully enough they have some Miller lights and a nice family over there who watches the videos Just sent this over to me and said happy Thanksgiving. It literally made my day. I Think I'm gonna actually start off with the turkey noodle soup But also I noticed that you have to actually choose between turkey and ham So I definitely went with the turkey and you can actually get white meat dark meat or a little bit of both I asked for a little bit of both They also give you an option between the mixed green salad and the Caesar salad. Oh looks like My turkey noodle is here. Thank you Look at this. I love turkey noodle soup. Oh, wow. I can just see the turkey chunks right in there This is what I'm talking about. This is bottomless. Oh boy The turkey soup is so delicious I absolutely love chicken noodle and I don't get turkey noodle that often but a little mixed up good for Thanksgiving Just the way I like it Along with my soup. We got the rolls. We got the cheddar biscuits We got the sweet rolls and the corn muffins. Look at these sweet rolls. Oh, oh my lord. Oh These are gonna be so amazing. I can tell already Definitely on par with Texas Roadhouse rolls very very delicious And now the salad has arrived. This is a feast and this is just me guys Holy moly see this is what they do. They try to fill you up before you get to the good stuff. I know the tricks Regardless, I'm still gonna probably eat all the rolls. That's just how it is Now the food has arrived. Oh boy Thank you. Oh No, this looks good. Oh, this looks really good And look at that main course has arrived. We've got turkey Greenbee casserole mashed potatoes or gravy sweet potatoes and then stuffing. Oh This is this is much too good. Oh boy. I think I'm gonna go stuffing first Because I absolutely love stuffing and I think it's a crucial Thanksgiving Item even more important than turkey sometimes. So we're gonna give this a go That's good stuffing. Oh, that's good stuffing So now we're gonna do a little stuffing and sweet potato at the same time mix the little little turkey gravy. Oh And now for the turkey Gotta get down to the turkey. Oh wow. That's good turkey looking already a little bit of mashed potatoes. Oh Yeah, a little bit of stuffing Probably not that big of a bite. That's perfect Okay, so if I was to rank this I would have to say the stuffing is my favorite Then followed up by the turkey Then the gravy then the mashed potatoes the least thing I like most is the casserole But you know casserole sometimes is hit or miss any hoos. I absolutely love this and this is Endless or bottomless. So I don't know if I'm gonna be able to get more because I ate those two rolls already Plus this in my soup and then we have like six desserts coming later. So I don't know. We'll see how this goes But who am I kidding? I'm probably gonna get another helping maybe just the stuffing the turkey and the mashed potatoes I feel like if I get a whole other like just gigantic portion. I probably will waste it So we'll stick to just what we like round two I am so happy. I'm not going to magic kingdom until later on. I need time to digest I feel like everyone gets that way on Thanksgiving. Definitely need a good hour. Maybe I'll take a power nap. Oh A power nap on Thanksgiving sounds amazing. Oh boy But this is just so good Honestly, this is way better than what I was expecting but I also figure places like Liberty tree tavern and Garden grill and all those other places you can get that Thanksgiving meal all year round This is only a one time a year of thing here. So like that's what makes it even more special, you know. Oh boy What did I do? I Think I feel a little bit of the meat sweats happening, but now time for the desserts. Oh Boy, I was not prepared for this So we've got apple pie Pecan pie pumpkin pie and then we've got a creme brulee Which is kind of a little fancy way that they display that creme brulee the cheesecake and then the chocolate brownie cake Oh, I'm gonna have so much fun tasting each one of these first things first. It's the apple pie. Oh It's like a tart apple. Oh look at that center. Oh Boy, oh Kind of butchered it There you go. Get in there get in there. There you go Apple pie was very good. Now it's time for some pecan. Oh That came apart real easy Now it's time for the pumpkin Out of the three different pies, I have to say the pecan was my favorite apple was pretty good But which much cinnamon still very delicious though And I think I'm gonna start with the creme brulee on this side first Vanilla creme brulee. Oh wow That's pretty smooth. Oh Yeah, creme brulee is delicious. Now. We're gonna try the chocolate brownie cake This one's a little hard. Ooh fancy this and now the pumpkin cheesecake There it goes, I Guess I'll just go like this For those the creme brulee all the way all the way creme brulee that was absolutely amazing Oh, I am so full now though. So so full. I have to say for my first visit here This was a very good experience. I absolutely love the atmosphere. They're playing Christmas music I love the tree and the lanterns and the food was phenomenal very good. I'm happy Oh, there's a little Christmas tree right there too That was so delicious now. We need to make our slow walk out of here. It's so beautiful in here though Like look at the swan following and the ceilings even I've never been this deep into the swan I usually just come up a little bit like where the garden grove was but I've never seen any of this before and I like it a lot When I like how they have Christmas trees in the spinny doors Come on tree. Let's go for a ride. That's what I feel like is happening right now. Oh, there's a tree and here's a tree How really awesome is that and after a short little nappity nap? We're at the Magic Kingdom I am so happy to be ending the night on Thanksgiving here at the Magic Kingdom. This is like Probably one of the best places to be I'm not too sure what I'll be doing tonight at the Magic Kingdom I know that they were actually testing fireworks in between the castle projections last night So maybe they'll do them again today, but man, I'm just happy to be here So we'll definitely wait around to see if we get to catch any of those fireworks And maybe we can squeeze in a ride or two But I also told you guys in the beginning of the video that I was planning a little holiday special was something that I was working on and I'm gonna show you that at the end of the video I matched up a bunch of different lyrics and music and put it to some pretty amazing video and I don't know. I guess I'm gonna call it Walt's holiday special So I'll show you that at the end of the night a good way to tell when the castle projections are gonna happen Is at the end of the night one last cavalcade will come out It's usually Santa he'll come up Main Street and then back down and then once he's in those doors But I'll boom I think it's gonna happen here guys But now it is getting dark here in the Magic Kingdom And this is what I've been waiting for all night just to see all the different multi-color lights They're at the Christmas tree stare at the castle. This is a perfect way to end the Thanksgiving The temperature outside is beautiful. In fact, I think I might actually try to squeeze in maybe an outdoor ride that'd be fun and Since astral orbiter is probably the closest outdoor ride to the hub I think we're gonna do that and see if we can see some fireworks as we ride because that'd be really cool The crowd levels in Tomorrowland are amazing thinking. This is actually Thanksgiving night here Look at this and look at astral orbiter taken off. That's what we're gonna go ride Look at that from up here. You can see the contemporary resort and bay lake tower I'm so excited to get a castle shot. Hopefully with some fireworks. It's so amazing up here, isn't it? This is one of those rides. I feel like it doesn't get enough credit I just absolutely love the views and just the whole concept of it right over there is the castle Do you see it peeking out? We got to find ourselves a space rocket. I don't know which one to pick Maybe this one. Yeah Look it right there. She is We might not have time that's right. Oh boy. It's happening. We're gonna catch the fireworks. Oh No, but what's up? I miss him on the other side what it is about that ride I absolutely love it and it's like one of those rides where if you're at night time I think it's ten times better I'm gonna keep moving along because I want to catch more of the fireworks burst I love that they added those to the castle. It just makes it so much better And one of my favorite places to actually watch the projections this year is right here in front of the following It can't go wrong with a good old water following shot that was so much fun I like how they change the colors in the water following and I'm just having fun sitting here in the hub on Thanksgiving and I'm just happy to be here. I'm thankful for today and I'm thankful for tomorrow And I think that's gonna do it for me I'm gonna play you guys my little holiday special. Like I said, it's just something I've been working on and I like matching up different Walt Disney speeches with some music and with some beautiful footage and Hope you enjoy this and I hope you have happy holidays. We'll see you next time. Bye And I must agree with my grandchildren. It's just about the neatest time of the year One of the nicest things about the holiday season is exchanging greetings with our many friends For these messages from all over the world represent the true spirit of Christmas in many different ways and once again, we put together another Christmas show for you So let's turn back the calendar to the days when it all started During the Christmas holidays or any other season here at Disneyland Main Street, USA is the happiest busiest Main Street in the world Everything ready for a big Christmas for everything but the weather Personally, I feel right at home in this snow that it's not so good for a parade Today Santa so make the most of it, you know, I got three hundred sixty five Yeah, I see what you mean. Well, since I'm gonna be in that parade. I'd better get ready Santa here's a little present from Walt to Santa Claus. Oh, thank you very much. It's just what I needed I See you later Santa for me to say except to wish you happy holidays and the best of everything for the new year
