We have stayed the past couple thanksgiving week-ends and will we back the Friday and Saturdat after Thansgiving this year. It is crowded, but we stay on site. With FOTL it is managable. The weather is great that time of the year and it is a good time to go with my kids being out of school and the sports teams my kids are in are off that week-end. I tend to go most holiday week-ends (memorial week-end, labor day week-end, etc) for this same reason. With FOTL it is always still a good time. You should plan ahead and you will usually be able to get a pass holders or other discounted rate. Entertainment rates are harder to come by this year, but the pass holder rate is still well worth it.
