We arrive on the 17th, but will see family and hang out at Downtown Disney that day, and enter the parks on the 18-22nd. Then we get to fly home on the 23rd while most of the consumer world is out purchasing the first of their Christmas presents.
We're counting the days until we leave - younger 2 DSs are more than ready to go, 3 more work days for me , DH must come home from a business trip in China, and our poor oldest DS has 10 more days of school before we leave.
We will b there Nov 12-22. I can't wait, but we're skipping the saturday 17th because I hate crowds so we're gonna shop and then watch the fireworks from the hot tub that evening. I have 8 days to go, I started planning my trip last Feb. I can't believe how quickly the time has gone.
Seems like tons of DIS walking around the park that week. We go Thanksgiving Week each year (since 2001), and always fun into people we know from home while we are there - interesting too, since we live over 7 hours away from DL.
