First time- which week?

[javajane]

We're looking at planning a trip next December - our first trip to WDW and we're terribly excited. Help me choose which week would have less crowds, please! We have a couple of options and I just don't know which would be best.

Should we go down the Monday after Thanksgiving and stay until the following Wed? Or head down a week after Thanksging and stay until the following weekend? It's only about a 4 day difference but will going earlier help us avoid Pop Warner crowds or just put us in the middle of the Thanksgiving crowds who stayed for an extended visit?

Thanks!

Don't worry about Pop Warner -- they never impact the parks very much. Week or two after Thanksgiving has been my choice for the past few years, but I usually go at least two other times during the year too.

We are headed off to WDW on Sat 24th November until 3rd December this year, and it's supposed to a quiet time. We are DVC members and it's a low points time... always a good indication I think.

We are going to be at POFQ from November 28th until December 7th, 2008. I even went as far as calling the Pop Warner headquarters to see when they would be starting in 2008. The participants will begin arriving on Saturday December 6th.

We were there during the same time period in 2006 and experienced no crowds except for Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving. No crowds and short lines.....rode EE two times in a row!!!

Hope to see ya there.
