Over the years, we have seen some of our West Coast sponsor mids meet up with family somewhere fun for a different Thanksgiving ... NYC, easy few hours on a train for mid leaving from BWI Airport AMTRAK station to Penn Station in heart of NYC. Flying SW straight to Orlando for a Disney vacation, family flying there too. Different and memorable approach in taking a real vacation with family.
Mids can book rooms at the Armed Forces hotel Shades of Green at the park.

No mid will be stuck eating cheerios in Bancroft. Even the mids on restriction get taken care of!
If funding and time is an issue, completely understandable given Thanksgiving and winter holiday proximity, I can echo other posters' comments about mids being welcomed into sponsors' and others' homes. We have hosted mids whose sponsors were out of town, international mids getting their first experience with Thanksgiving - and not just for the meal, but for the entire break. My DH recalls taking as many as 6 home on the train to Philly, and his mom just folding them into the family.
