Is it slow between Thanksgiving and Christmas?

I know this is a slow time for WDW...but how about Disneyland...we are thinking of going the week before Christmas....what do you guys think?
our last couple of trips to DL have been so crowded (in off times too)..so I really would enjoy being there during a not so busy time..........also what days of the week are busiest/slowest?Thanks !!!!!!!! :p

I do not have experience with the crowds during the week you are considering but I had a friend who went the second week in December and she said it wasn't too crowded. We try to go during the middle days of the week, Tue. through Thur., if we can as these are the slower days. We will even pull our kids out of school to avoid the crowds. We are going in November, 7-11. Best of luck to you.

We went last year the second/third week of December and the crowds were non existent. But beware that crowds swell both after 4pm due to locals with after 4 season passes and the weekend before Christams thru end of new years week.

How busy would it be the first week of Dec.????

Not busy at all during the first week of December, Bob.

The crowds the week before Christmas were light to moderate the 2 times we were there during that period. Starting about the 23rd, it gets crowded, and then it is a crush from Christmas day until around Jan 2, or whenever the winter break ends for the school.
