Good news folks! I did call and speak to an employee, but evidently Winn Dixie is having mercy on us unorganized folks: “Winn-Dixie is open Thanksgiving Day from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. to provide any last minute shopping needs, including gift cards, all in one convenient location.” Thanks everyone for their contribution- have any other Thanksgiving Dinner ideas? Post them here!

Thank you so very, very much. Rosey and I decided to spend this Thanksgiving … away from the family and have our own Thanksgiving at Panama City Beach. Our daughter owns a condo and we will be down for the week.
Our main discussion was where to eat Thanksgiving meal, because that was one reason we wanted to get away to Panama … not to have to cook. Your review of the restaurants will help us decide where to celebrate Thanksgiving. I am sure we will at least eat a meal a day in each of the four locations you mentioned. Other wise we would not have a clue.

This year at boatyard 2013 the price per person is $24.95 plus tax and an automatic 18% gratuity. The “Turkey and all the fixins” menu includes the turkey, which is carved tableside, mashed potatoes and gravy, Andouille sausage and cornbread stuffing, an orange and cranberry relish, baby peas and onions, sweet potato souffle, rolls and butter, and pumpkin pie. we also have a lovely “a la cart menu” availible offering a jack daniels glazed ham, our roasted and sliced turkey with mashed potaoes and gravy and stuffing, seafood platter and other boatyard favorites. That day we will also feature sesonal desserts invluding my favorite “pumpkin gooey cake”.
Like the previous years you will be able to take all of your leftovers home with you.
There are still reservations availible and we do accept walkins for dining at the bar.
Boatyard does require a minumum of four guests to partake in the “turkey with all the fixins dinner.” or a minum purchase price of $99.80 for a party smaller than four.
The previous article was posted in 2010 wich stated our price from 2009.
