Do you think Monday, 11/24 will be super crowded?

Hi Guys,

We're AP holders and are planning another trip to DL, but we really want to go when it's not so crowded because we already went twice during DL's Halloween Time and didn't get to go on too many rides because of the crowds. We're looking to go on a day when we'll get to hit lots of rides. Do you think the Monday before Thanksgiving will be really crowded? Or what about the Friday before Thanksgiving (11/21)? Which of these dates do you think will be less crowded?

Hope this makes sense. TIA!

Of those two days, Monday will be better than Friday.

Friday is the kick off of Christmas time, possible/probable opening of Small World and I believe I read they are filming the Christmas parade this day......

We went last year on the Sunday/Monday before Thanksgiving and will be doing the same this year. Last year I believe Christmas stuff was up the prior weekend though, so I'm a little worried it will be busier this year than last year.

Still going though. The parks are open longer hours, we'll take afternoon breaks and use our fast passes, and still get to enjoy the Christmas stuff.

I would go if I were you. We are AP holders as well.....but we have been making quite a few trips recently....

We were there from the Friday before Thanksgiving through the Tuesday before Thanksgiving last year. Friday was absolutely mobbed at DL because it was the first night for holiday festivities. Monday was not too bad, better than I expected it to be. My DS 11 is autistic and we have a GAC for him so we don't wait in the same lines when it's really crowded and the first half of the day we at DL we didn't even use it as most of the lines were not more than 20-30 minutes. Later that day, late afternoon into the evening I just had my DD over at DCA and most of the rides were under 10 min waits, except maybe Soarin' and Screamin'. The weekend was much more crowded, but Monday and even Tuesday were not that bad. It's not empty, not like the end of January, but it's not crazy either, or at least not if you get there early and do the really popular rides first.

We are also going Nov 22-25th. We have never been this time of year before and are hoping for decent crowds!
I am not expecting empty - but probably better than mid-August or Spring Break which were our last trips!
