Since this site suggests you book your Walt Disney World trip at least 180 days in advance of your arrival date, and the Disney website likely wonât allow that for 2016 dates until summer 2015 the earliest, knowing that there are ways to book out to 500 days ahead is really helpful !
Roast the turkey: The rule of thumb for cooking a turkey is 13 minutes per pound. So our 16-pound turkey was estimated to cook in about 3 1/2 hours. However, some factors like brining the bird, cooking with an empty (un-stuffed) cavity, and leaving the legs un-trussed will contribute to much faster cooking.
Roast the turkey in the oven or roaster until the thermometer registers 175 degrees Fahrenheit. This will take between 20 and 25 minutes per pound of turkey. Remove the foil from the turkey and allow the turkey to brown until the thermometer reads 185 degrees Fahrenheit. This can take from 30 minutes to one hour.
