Hi, i'm travelling with my family to Orlando this November The 20th, and am wondering which week is the busiest over thanksgiving? the week before or the week after?
Any responses welcomed,
Cheers Steve

Thanksgiving is really just the one day - the last Thursday in November so I suppose the numbers in the parks may be up a bit for that long weekend but other than that November is usually a lovely time. Try going to the parks during the week rather than at the weekend as the locals tend to go then making it a bit busier. We were over last year the week before Thanksgiving and it was great You also get to see all the Christmas decorations too

Sorry, Freaky, but I'm going to have to disagree . Statistically, Thanksgiving week is Disney's busiest after Christmas and Easter. Because it falls on a Thursday, it will be the whole of that week which sees an increase in crowd levels (i.e. from the Saturday before to the Sunday after). The downturn in the economy might have an impact this year, so it could be less busy than in recent years, but it will still be busier than the rest of November. As Freaky says, though, Steve, it's still a great time to go.

Debbie - didn't realise that the Americans take a week long break around the Thanksgiving Day Steve - take Debbies advice and not mine We do agree on one thing though - November is a great time to visit

We've usually found that it's the week before any US holidays that are busiest, the week afterwards always seems less crowded.

I've been at Thanksgiving. It was more crowded Thursday to Sunday, particularly MK.
