How crowded are the parks early (Mon/Tues) in Thanksgiving week?

[GADISNEYGIRL]

Trying to figure out when we're planning our next trip, and was curious about this time frame, maybe going down the week before and staying through Wednesday of T'giving week. I'd like to be there the week after, but don't think we're going to be able to swing that with our schedules. Thanks!

We were there last year for Thanksgiving week. The crowds weren't bad at all, and it was not difficult to hit all the attractions we wanted, when we wanted, without long waits on line. A few of the biggies -- ToT or RnRC -- had long waits approaching an hour, so we just Fast-Passed 'em, no big whoop.

Best of all: the weather! It can be downright nippy (in the 50s) in the mornings -- my wife needed her down coat! -- but it warms up by mid-day.

FWIW: we had our Turkey Day dinner at the Cape May Cafe, and it was GREAT

Our 2002 Thanksgiving trip was much the same. It was not bad until Wednesday evening. That night, it was an audible buzz that seemed to take over the Wilderness Lodge. It was crowded after that! We headed for home on Friday.

We find MK to be fairly crowded ALL the time!

Our strategy was to do the parks early and then break for lunch and go back to the WL. Late in the afternoon, we'd head out again.

It is a lovely time of year to visit especially if you hate humidity as much as I do!

We are headed there Nov. 19 (Saturday) to Nov. 25 (Friday after Thanksgiving). From everything I have read it gets bad on Wed through the weekend. So I am planning on Doing AK on Wed. and MK on Thursday (wanna eat at Liberty Tavern for Thanksgiving). And then Friday whereever DS wants to go since we have to be at the airport by 4pm. So I figure we can do the a quick park in the morning and relax.

We were there up til Easter 2003 (we left the day before) and it wasn't crowded at all really. It was more crowded this past Spring Break, even then we found it to be manageable.

Thanks everyone, that helps a lot!

Those are our dates too! We'll look for the lime green if we go to LTT. Have you eaten there for Thanksgiving-lunch or dinner?
