Disney DIY – Thanksgiving Side Dish Recipes

Another holiday season is upon us! It’s already November, and that means that Thanksgiving is right around the corner – it’s a time to be thankful for friends and family, and it’s a time to come together and share a delicious meal too! Some of you may be lucky enough to be enjoying your Thanksgiving dinner at Walt Disney World (turkey at Liberty Tree Tavern perhaps?), but for the rest of us who will be preparing some (or all) of our own turkey dinner, here are some great Walt Disney World Restaurant side dishes that would be a perfect addition to your Thanksgiving meal:

Stuffing is basically a necessity on my family’s table on Turkey day – check out this southern inspired stuffing recipe:
