So really, how bad is it going to be the week OF Thanksgiving (Mon-Wed)

[todzwife]

We won't be there on T-day but I'm wondering how bad it's going to be the Mon-Wed before. We have already changed our plans once but my brother can only go that week (personally, I wanted to go the week AFTER).

So tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly. How bad is it going to be?

We went Sun/Mon last year this week and we are going again.

We mentally prepared for the worst and we were pleasantly surprised.

We used fast passes obviously, had a few PS lined up and had a very pleasant 2 days in the parks and got our "Christmas Fix".

We are once again hoping for the best again this year! We got the ENT RATE at HoJo, so I couldn't pass up the chance to go without having to take the kiddos out of school again (like we are in October).

You'll have it much easier then those of us going the week BEFORE t'giving. We've been three times from the Friday- Tuesday before turkey day. This year we will be there the 20th to the 26th. We plan to do ALOT Thursday and Friday. The weekends were not too bad. I think it may be an AP blackout date or it was the past times so that helped. As most days, the mornings are less crowded than the afternoons. So make rope drop. Use your MM's if you got 'em. We would walk over to DCA when DL got crowded but with TSM open now, I don't know what the crowds will be like there.

We went there like 3 days before thanksgiiving last year, and each day it got more crowded, but still doable.

We will also be there from Nov. 21-26. A couple of years ago, we went from Dec. 26-30th. I've never seen the park so crowded in my life. So, if the crowds are more manageable than during that time, I'll be happy. And we're staying at the Hojo at the entertainment rate, too!
