Seaworld/BG Thanksgiving weeked? Hotel?

[GrumpyFamilyof5]

hello I saw another post and asked this in there but no response. Can anyone who has been there before tell me how bad it would be at either Seaworld or Busch Gardens the weekend of Thanksgiving,specially that Sunday? I know I read that Seaworld would have their Christmas stuff out that weekend,but will BG ??
Also by chance does anyone know of any good hotels close to either with a possible indoor pool or a very warm heated outdoor??
Thanks a bunch for any help!!

Weekends at SW are normally busier than the week. We had one recent trip to SW, arriving on Thanksgiving Day with us staying at the Marriott Rennassiance located right across the street from SW. We walked to and from the park. We selected in an atrium deluxe room which was very nice (see photo link below). The pool is outdoor and we stayed busy to a point we never used the pool. We went to SW the two days following Thanksgiving. We did not worry about the crowds. The two days at US staying at the Portofino. Outdoor pool was fine to use at night. Crowds at the park were light. The crowds were heavier at Disney.
