How "Bad" is Thanksgiving Weekend?

[Anjelica]

Thinking about a trip this upcoming Thanksgiving to Disneyland. We plan on staying at a Neighbor Hotel, etc. I wanted to find out how "manageable" the crowds are that Thanksgiving weekend (i.e. Thursday, Friday, Saturday)? I will have a 10 month old and a 4 year old.

Thanks in advance!!!

Last year on that Sunday the park was very manageable...

I went once the day after Thanksgiving. The park was so crowded they were parking people at the Anaheim convention center.
At the time, I had a premium annual pass so I just spent a few hours there riding a couple rides and enjoying the food and atmosphere. It was packed though. I still had a good time because its Disney. I even spent New Years Eve at Disneyland one year, and that was with the park filled to capacity. You just make the best of it I guess.
I think that if you stretch out the two parks over 4 days, you will be fine. Go early in the morning and spend the most crowded parts of the day shopping, enjoying a sit down meal, or relaxing at your hotel. You should definitely be able to fit in everything you want and then some.
Happy planning!
