How busy was the week before Thanksgiving 2024

[RickNJane]

We are planning a trip the first couple of weeks in November. Touring plans has the crowds as 5 and 6 out of 10 most days. We usually go first 2 weeks in December, but with the grandkids school schedules, decided to try November instead. We never buy LL. Just can't bring myself to pay twice for rides. We never have an issue with standby. Going for 15 days helps also!
As to swimming, it depends on what you are used to. We are from Seattle, so 70 is a hot day for us. Our grandkids are usually the only ones in the pool. That and the occasional other folks from colder climates. Kinds of excited to see WDW in the time leading up to Thanksgiving. In all our years (since 1995) this will be a first. Another first is DW and I are going kidless/grandkidless for Epcot flower and garden fest in May. Not looking forward to the heat!

Is lightening lane multi pass necessary during this week

Personally, I would definitely get it for HS and possibly MK unless you are planning to rope drop. Don't think you would need for Epcot or AK.

Okay thank you!

We paid for LL last year and did rope drop. We would have got on everything anyway so it was a waste of money.

We went Nov 15-22, 2024. We thought the crowds were really manageable. We did buy LLMP everyday and pretty much all the LLSPs so barely waited more than 20m for anything. We also did rope drop a few days which help as well.

Temp wise I thought the weather was perfect. The highs were high 70s/low 80s so we were able to use the pool every day. But with basically zero humidity touring the parks was very pleasant.

All things considered I thought it was a great week to visit

That’s what I was wondering. Thanks!

Oh sounds good! Thanks for your reply. We have gone in summer several times and it can get miserable with the weather and crowds.
