Attendance levels AFTER thanksgiving?

[ckoncurat]

Hi! we are heading to orlando the day after thanksgiving and will be there for the entire following week. We've heard that this ia a low period, attendance-wise. My question is about the SATURDAY after thanksgiving- is this still very crowded? Or have thanksgiving crowds dispersed by then? We were thinking about going to Epcot that day.
Thanks!!!

From what I've heard the weekend immediately following Thanksgiving is still pretty crowded but I can tell you from personal experience over the last 8 years of going the week after (M-F) that the crowds are not bad at all.

Do you mean that it is still a little crowded but not bad or the parks are pretty clear and there will not be a long wait on rides.

I have heard that it is still pretty crowded until Sunday. We went about 7 years ago the day after Thanksgiving and Saturday as well as the rest of the week was great! I don't know about now though.
I would think that if it was going to still be crowded that EPCOT would be the park to go to though.
You will love WDW at that time. It is my favorite time to go.
Low crowds and the decorations are wonderful. Also my kind of weather!!!
Have a great time. We will have just left the Monday before!!

If you will arrive early and make good use of FastPass you will have a great time and in my opinion will have a great time.Have wonderful time at WDW this is one of the most special times to visit WDW.

HI.

This will be our 4th year going the day after Thanksgiving and staying until the following friday - Friday - still pretty crowded but if you have ever been in the summer you will think its a walk in the park. Saturday less crowded but still have a few major attractions with wait times of 25-45 minutes. Sunday from my experience MUCH LESS CROWDED! I think its a deparature/arrival day and so parks aren't as bad. Monday-friday - there just ain't NO LINEs!!!! Epcot is also usually open to 9:30p each night(1/2hr longer than in the summer) and is a large park so I think you will be fine!

My first time arriving over Thanksgiving weekend too, on saturday. I know that sat and sunday will be crowded, but can speak from experience that monday and afterwards will be very nice. The next weekend will be a bit more crowded as all weekends in December have more local people and weekend visitors due to the decorations and all...

Saturday will still be very croweded, but you'll see a big drop in the crowds beginning on Sunday. By Monday it's great...
