Last week in November: Christmas Decor? Nutty Crowds?

[aristocatz]

How busy are the parks during the last week in November if we are traveling AFTER Thanksgiving?

Also, would the Christmas decorations be up?

Thanks!

From my experience in 2015, it's busy (we only stayed until Sunday after Thanksgiving) but nothing that really bothered us. More busy than an average summer day, but not to the point where they were going to close the parks. Use FP+ and such and you should be fine.

Yes, they will be in full Xmas mode...which is sweet. We're going back this year and I'm already counting down, can't wait!!

We are going that week this year. I've checked crowd calendars for this year (touring plans) and looked at come for the same week last year. The Saturday after thanksgiving looks pretty busy, with that Sunday tapering off, then it was all low crowd ratings the Monday - Friday. There are several Christmas parties that week and a rumor of MK closing early on Thursday for the Disney staff Christmas party. I would think that would effect crowds on certain days.

Yes, it will be busy although not as busy as the week of Thanksgiving. Any week connected to a holiday will be busy. Its common for vacation dates to be Wednesday of Thanksgiving through the next week. Everyone, including me likes to get that extra vaca time!

Agreed. It will probably still be busy the Saturday after Thanksgiving, but it should quickly taper off after that.
