[krissymickey]

when is less crowded First, second or third week of november / or first of december till week before christmas ? looking to go for one week. I want opinions on less crowded parks. I think from what I have seen christmas decorations will be up early nov?

I would go the beginning of Dec to experience all of the holiday stuff. The resorts are not all done being decorated until Thanksgiving Week and hopefully they will have the storytellers and Candlelight Processional at Epcot.

I completely agree with this assessment. If you want to experience all of the holiday entertainment, then you have to go after thanksgiving. Epcot won’t start festival of the holidays until after thanksgiving. We have typically gone over thanksgiving, but we will go the Tuesday before through the Tuesday after thanksgiving. The Saturday after thanksgiving will start to see the crowds thin out.

All of December will be fairly busy, with the last two weeks being the busiest. Early November will be best in terms of crowds, out of your suggestions. It won't have many, if any, Christmas decorations, though.

If you want all of WDW to be decorated for the holidays during your visit, then you're going to have to deal with crowds. The two weeks on either side of Christmas and the week of Thanksgiving will be busiest, but the first half of December will also be fairly busy.

we usually go the week after thanksgiving. I would say it is busier then I remember from past trips but do able crowds.
we are going the second week of november this year and very curious of the crowds. veterans day falls in our week but our schools are not closed so not sure how others are.

We like the beginning of December best. We have been the beginning of November and it was 88 to 92 degrees. For us December just seems more like Christmas and the temps always seem to be better. Per crowds - always crowded in my opinion.
