Crowds now?

[Fargoman2]

Can anyone tell me how the crowds are right now? We are targeting the week after Thanksgiving for our trip next year (beginning the Sat. after Thanksgiving).

thanks for any reports.

We just got back from a week trip last night, Dec. 5th.
We started our first day in a park on Nov. 28th at MGM and it was great. Seemed
like a good crowd but rides were walk-on or 10 min. at most. Tues. at MK was
awesome. We had drizzling rain for a couple of hours but very manageable with ponchos. We walked on everything!! SM and Splash and Buzz included. We did 14 rides by 1:30pm. It was wonderful. My sister arrived a day earlier and they did AK the Sunday and Monday after Thanksgiving and they walked on just about everything.
So next time we will definitely go the week after Thanksgiving but we will begin on the Sunday after Tgiving at AK and do MGM on Mon., MK on Tues., Epcot on Wed.
and MK again on Thurs. morning. The crowds really picked up Fri. Sat. and Sun.
Hope this helps. We had a WONDERFUL trip!!

We were there the 25th-the 3rd and didnt do a park until the 27th (AK) and we had no problems with crowds until Friday the 2nd at EPCOT. That place was nuts. Otherwise, we walked on to most rides or only waited 5-10 mins. Its a great time to go!

We just came back last night 12/5. Over the weekend, on average, about a 20 minute wait. Lots of cheerleaders moving around in packs - but not a problem at all. Pop Warner football was there also, but we didn't see much of them. Fastpass worked great so we kept moving. We waited about 45 minutes for Soar'n, which from what I've read recently, wasn't bad (fastpass return time was about 2 hours later). Spoke with a family who go to WDW every year at this same time and they were amazed at the larger crowds. They said it was usually extremely quiet during this week and thought it was very busy. Weather was absolutely amazing - about 75 degrees and no humidity - couldn't have asked for better!!
