Nov. before Thanksgiving or Dec. before Christmas, Which is better?

[discraz]

Which would you choose and Why. The Wed-Tues before Thanksgiving or Wed-Tues before Christmas. I'm especially interested in crowds and weather from all those who go during these two time frames.

I've been numerous times @Thanksgiving and a couple of times earlier in Nov.. I love that time of year and prior to Thanksgiving day the crowds are lighter. I have not been at Christmas, but my brother paid twice what I did to go the week up to Christmas and the crowds were so heavy that he declared he'd never go back. Except for one year that was cold and blustery we've always had beautiful weather and the kids can use the pool even on what seems like a cool night to me because the pools are heated @WDW resorts. I can hardly wait to leave for our trip 11/20. I hope you enjoy WDW whenever you decide to go.

I have been in November many times. The weather is really nice, there is the food and wine festival, and the crowds are pretty light.

I have gone in December but it is early in the month - the first or second week. All of the special holiday decorations are up. The closer you get to christmas the more crowded it gets.

If you have to go just before the holiday, go before Thanksgiving. The week before Christmas will definately be more crowded. Just aviod the parks the day after - or go to Epcot, where larger crowds are more easily absorbed.
