Disney World during Thanksgiving

[SallySkelington]

What should I expect (aside from crowds)? What are some of your tips? What are some of you favorite things to do? It's just DH and I and another married couple, so it's basically an adults only trip.

It will be very busy. Make your FPs and pack your patience. Epcot on Thanksgiving Day was our choice and it was a good one.

We loved the holiday offerings at Hollywood Studios the most. They've really upped their game. Do the Jingle Bell Jingle BAM party if you can. It was a lot of festive fun.

No sweat! Boards move fast. Just wanted to give you some reading while other people chime in here with their experiences.

Take advantage of late night Extra Magic Hours! The holidays are fun if you adjust your expectations accordingly

Mornings are not bad! We went last year, honestly Animal Kingdom felt the most crowded. We ate Crystal Palace at MK on Thanksgiving Day to stay in the park and it was great! The Christmas decorations are sooo pretty, and we had a great time on this trip! The longer park hours are nice too. Yes it is crowded, but when we returned in January the weekend felt just as busy.

Be sure to catch the Thanksgiving Parade of Bands at Epcot!

It makes Thanksgiving Day so awesome.

Grab a good spot early so you can see them Marching in!

It is our favorite part of "Thanksgiving at WDW"!
