Epcot...Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving?

[Babs1975]

Any real difference in crowds? Is Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving better for Epcot? I'm concerned with ride wait times, not actual people in the park. Would we be better doing one day over the other or no difference? Either can work in our plans.

We were there Saturday after Thanksgiving last year and got 4th fast passes for Soarin' and Test Track. Both were single FPs - my daughter and I were in AK earlier in the day and we met up with my husband and son around 4:30pm.

We weren't there on Friday, but I thought Saturday was ok.

We were there Friday after Thanksgiving last year. Our only day in a park. Last minute plan as we were in Orlando for another event. No fastpasses and just waited in lines. The only thing we did not wait for was Spaceship earth.

FEA was abt a 45 minute wait. Test track we did single rider. Soarin's wait was not too bad.

Have been to Disney at other times, so missing a ride was no biggie. We were just glad to have one day in a park. And enjoyed all of the holiday extras at Epcot.

I have no experience with either. We actually are going to be at Epcot on that Saturday this year, so it will be a new experience for us as well. It's our getaway day, and after years of closing out our trips at MK, the last few times we have closed out at Epcot instead, and we found that we like that better.

I'm just asking because we usually don't do a park day until the Sunday after Thanksgiving, trying to avoid those Thanksgiving crowds. But just works better in our schedule this year to do either Friday or Saturday at Epcot. Wasn't sure if one would be busier than the other...
