Thanksgiving -- on the road

Not interested in being home for the holiday? Plenty of hoteliers and inns have whipped together Thanksgiving stay-and-play packages for those who want to turn the holiday into a long weekend getaway. Some even include a full Thanksgiving dinner, lest you have a guilty conscience about sidestepping tradition. Among the options:
 

1. ORLANDO
The Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek has a three-acre lazy river pool and six on-site restaurants. Over Thanksgiving, families may opt for its “Wandering Wizards” package, from $164 a night, which includes accommodations, breakfast for two adults and two children, plus late checkout. The resort is within view of Disney parks and offers free shuttle service.
