We typically spend our first day at the Vineland Premium Outlets and Disney Springs. I just realized that this year that day for us will be the Saturday after Black Friday. Can anyone offer insight into how busy this weekend is for shopping as compared to a non-holiday weekend? Thanks!
 
Okay, since no one else has answered, I'll say this: I'm a local, and I avoid those Vineland outlets like the plague unless I can get there at 9:55, hit the stores I want, and skedaddle by noon or so.

My guess is that unless you use that strategy (and maybe arrive 30 minutes before whatever early time they might open), it'll be a nightmare. Starting in the parking lot and continuing to the stores.

I really appreciate your reply! Thank you! We typically are typically there between 12-3ish while waiting for our room to be ready but it sounds like Black Friday is much busier than a typical day. If line ups are long, I think we'll think of an alternate idea. Where I'm from, I've been shopping on Black Friday for the last 10 years because I find that crowds are lower than a typical Saturday as I'm guessing many expect it will be busy and perhaps shop online instead. Haha!
 
I would imagine they will be awful. We were there twice last week and the line to get into the Disney Outlet was a 40 minute wait!!
