Thanksgiving in Orlando doesn’t have to mean spending the morning in the kitchen. For families looking to enjoy the holiday without the cooking and cleanup, Rosen Hotels & Resorts is bringing back its Thanksgiving dining experiences at three of its Orlando convention hotels on Thursday, November 26, 2026.
Rosen Plaza, Rosen Centre and Rosen Shingle Creek will each offer their own Thanksgiving buffet or brunch, with menus ranging from familiar holiday favorites to more upscale creations. Each property offers a different experience, giving local families and Orlando visitors several ways to celebrate Thanksgiving Day.
Three Thanksgiving Dining Experiences in Orlando
Rather than serving the same menu across all three hotels, Rosen’s culinary teams have created a distinct Thanksgiving celebration for each property.
Guests can expect dishes such as made-to-order omelets and bourbon maple-glazed ham at Rosen Plaza, pumpkin waffles and an Everglades carving station at Rosen Centre, and elevated selections including sunchoke and chestnut ravioli, beef Wellington and pumpkin pie bon bons at Rosen Shingle Creek.
Here’s what each hotel has planned.
