Magic Kingdom crowd level November 25

[The Novice]

Thanks in advance for your help! Found out today that my family and I are going to be in Orlando the week of Thanksgiving. We have non- expiring tickets that we can use but have to be converted to the RFID version, meaning Fastpass+ cannot be done in advance (to late now anyway). My question is will Magic Kingdom be crazy busy on Tuesday Nov 25. Not having the 3 Fastpasses, that are allowed in advance, booked now may be the deal breaker. It would be two adults and my DD(9). Tuesday is really our only free day. Maybe we should look for somewhere else. Thinking Bush Gardens, will have a car. We would buy the front of line pass there but would really like to go to MK if we could tour it in a reasonable manner. Please let me know your thoughts.

You don't need RFID tickets to book FP+; you just need them to use the FP. Also, do you mean Tuesday the 24th, or Wednesday the 25th? According to easyWDW's crowd calendar, Tuesday should be a good day for MK:

I was wrong on the date it's Tuesday the 24th. How does one make Fastpasses+ reservations without having tickets to link them to? Have paper tickets but don't know how to load them into the app. The physical tickets are at in-laws house in Florida, do the paper tickets must have a number on them that is used to download them into the app? Even I if I could make Fastpass reservation now it would be slim pickings I suspect. At this point I am wondering if it would be a frustrating experience. Though we do love the Magic Kingdom, but not long lines.

The tickets should have a number on them to link in your MDE account. I wouldn't expect you to be able to get FP for A&E or SDMT, but you can check this site for availability:

Thank you, don't care about A&E maybe do SDMT at rope drop. I was hoping that MK would be possible. Haven't used Fastpass+ yet, was an expert at the old Fastpass, we would get 9 or 10 easily. The standby wait times have me concerned. But the draw of the Mouse is strong.
