Help with Crowd Calendar predictions for November

[Tanamomof3]

We are going to Disney for the first time the week before Thanksgiving. The crowd calendar on easywdw shows 2 and 3 for most of that week. However, when we are calling for ADR everything is booked like crazy and everyone is having the same issue. Do you think since they put out free dining early it will make a difference and do you think since there are not many ADR that it shows it will be unusally busy during that time?

Nope. I think ADR availability has little to do with crowd levels.

Plus free dining is being offered during that time, maybe a reason for the full ADR's. At least I hope so, because we plan on being there for part of that week.

I think/hope (we are going the same week) that ADR and crowd levels will not be relative to each other. I think free dining inflates the number of people who stay on site and will book TS, not neccessarily the total crowd. For example we are staying 8 nights and b/c of free dining I have booked 10 TS ADRs vs without it we would probably have 3 or 4 at most. If it really is pushing up the crowd numbers we will be really disappointed.
