. A couple of years later, it was pretty much our whole family on Christmas day and to our surprise my Mom packed a small folding Christmas tree so we could keep Christmas morning fairly traditional in our cabin at Ft. Wilderness 
. She was so thoughtful 
Not traditional Thanksgiving day food, but I was in heaven. I really like pizza and not having to pretend to eat turkey and other dishes I don't really enjoy for a change was pretty nice F1gment ended up having a very delicious, traditional turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc. meal at our resort either the day before, of, or after Thanksgiving.None of us new she had brought the little Christmas tree, it was complete with a star on top!Amy wrote:I like the folding Christmas tree idea! With the smaller, battery operated strings of light you could string some of those up around the room as well for a more festive atmosphere.
We spent Thanksgiving at WDW last year and we ate at Via Napoli

I would be game for Via Napoli any day of the year
So as long as you are prepared for people looking at you like you are a bit daft, go for it! 
Holidays are what we each want them to be. There isn't anything scriptural about observing religious holidays, so it's pretty much what we want to do with them that's key. Thanksgiving is an attitude of the heart, not a ritual of gluttony (or, at least, it should be!). So if you want to eat pizza at Via Napoli or wherever, so be it.Amy wrote: Our friends are still mortified that we skipped the traditional Thanksgiving
My family LOVES turkey and all the fixin's so I do everything I can to give that to them. But if we, as a family, decided to do something different, so be it. I'm glad, Amy, you and your mom had the chance to be at Epcot over the holiday and have YOUR kind of vacation. Traditions are nice, but they shouldn't rule over people.I'm with you cy1229, and it's who you're with not what you are eating. It's about giving thanks, and you can be thankful anywhere, eating anythingcy1229 wrote:Holidays are what we each want them to be.
