The week after Thansgiving can be pretty good crowd-wise, especially, if you are comparing it to summer or actual holiday week crowds. And, in fact, the week after Thanksgiving used to be one of the slowest weeks of the enti...re year, but after that info made it into every Disney Planning Guide and onto every Disney Planning site on the World Wide Web, it's not quite as slow as it used to be - I guess you could say the secret is out! lol! Plus that's the week that the Pop Warner Cheerleading annual competition is and they pre-tape the ABC Christmas Day Parade that week, so the crowds are more moderate that week than slow. That week isn't even priced as value season anymore. The third week of December is actually the cheapest and lowest crowd week of December. December 14 - 21 is usually really good. The crazy Christmas crowds start rolling in around the 22nd. Of course, the week of Christmas into New Year's is the most busy and expensive week of the year. The absolute slowest week of the year would probably be Labor Day week or the last week of January - of course, it's very hot in September and can be very cold in January. Other low weeks are the first week of February, first week of March, last week of April, first two weeks of May, all of September is pretty good, but will pick up the last week due the Food & Wine Festival and Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party starts the second week of September and it's awesome, the last week of October is slow and the first week of November can have very low crowds, plus a lot of the Christmas decorations are up and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party usually starts around the 8th. Hope that info helps See More
