We went the week before Thanksgiving, Monday to Friday, I believe. It was amazing. We saw alot of stuff, pre holiday decor, as they were in the process of switching over, and then we got to see a lot of stuff all decorated. So that was very cool. Also, the crowds were amazingly light, up until Friday, when it started to pick up. I am not sure about the other entertainment schedules. I know we saw the fireworks, but not sure what all else was running, as we had a 3 year old and headed in quite early.
