Early or Late November

Having a tough time deciding.
Help me with additional info so i can make a more clear decision.

Basically I want to go late november for the christmas additions. We would be there from nov 21st to 27th. Im worried about thanksgiving crowds. How bad are they and when do they build?

The only other option is first week november when I dont believe the xmas stuff will be running yet.

If its the difference between crazy crowds and dead quiet id be willing to give up xmas.

So how much of a difference is there?
Also express pass not an option.

Thanks all.

You will see Christmas decorations up the first week of Nov but the holiday shows and such won't be happening that early.

This is my predicament. So the question is. How much of a crowd level difference is there?

The crowd level difference will be huge. Early November is right after HHN ends, and the parks are low crowds, especially during the week. Thanksgiving week (specifically Wed thru Saturday) will be some of the highest crowds of the year. If that is your preference - early will be much better.

Thank you. This is what I was worried about and helps make my decision for me.

The end of Nov. will be much busier. I love the week after Thanksgiving at Universal to see all of the Xmas decor. Sometimes I feel more Xmas spirit in Universal than Disney.
If you had express pass, I would probably take my chances with the crowds towards the end. However, if you don’t care too much about the Xmas decor and offerings I would pick the beginning of Nov. The Halloween/ October crowds are gone and it’s too early for the Xmas/ Thanksgiving crowds.

End of November will be busier.

Is there any way at all to push it off one week and switch to the first week of December?
