What makes this recipe so special this time of year is that Disney chefs use one just like this to make the pecan pies served at Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida on Thanksgiving Day as part of a tradition 25 years in the making.

The culinary team at Walt Disney World cooks up hundreds of traditional Thanksgiving meals each year that Disney VoluntEARS then serve to Coalition for the Homeless residents for an extra special dinner filled with Disney magic. The meal is filled with all the traditional dishes, which of course includes dessert.

“Giving is who we are as part of the Disney family. We believe that everything we do to make magic can also make a difference, which is what I see happening when we provide Thanksgiving meals to those in need in our Central Florida community,” said Walt Disney World Culinary Director Gregg Hannon. “We all might have a different interpretation of Thanksgiving, but gratitude is something that we all have in common. As a culinarian working at Disney for 26 years, I am extremely proud to work for a company and be part of a team that gives back in such an important way.”
