We were there Wed-Sun Thanksgiving week and agree with the above poster, generally the parks were great but the Harry Potter sections were really crowded. We went in with Disney crowd knowledge and came away pretty happy. We went in an hour early Thurs. and my son even asked "where is everybody?" We stayed at RPR and had their turkey dinner, it was expensive but sooo good. Ham & turkey carvers, mountains of pre-cracked crab legs and huge shrimp, salmon, quail, a mongolian grill, sushi & wonderful deserts. They also had a kids area with kids food. Hula dancers and a guy with a ukulele. It was nice, servers were really top notch. We had Scooby Doo and a Minion come by for pics.
Stay at a onsite and get the express, the hotel was already decorated for Christmas and so was the parks. You will have a good time.
I recommend Antojitos in Citywalk, go around 7 as they have a live band.
Also Mythos was excellent, the bananna gooey cake is almost worth another 8 hr drive to get one. (seriously) Finnegans was good but not anything too special. Stay far, far away from Confisco Grill~terrible experience here.
We stayed club so alot of our food was from the lounge, which if you can swing it I also recommend. Our room was literally 4 steps away from the lounge so they saw us quite a bit. Any other questions, I'd be glad to help.
