How are the crowds the Sunday AFTER Thanksgiving? This will be our 1st Thanksgiving trip. We are actually not arriving until the day after Thanksgiving, but plan on staying at the resort on Friday night & Saturday to relax & avoid the park crowds. My plan is to hit the parks on Sunday, Monday & Tuesday (leaving on Wednesday). I'm pretty sure Monday & Tuesday will be ok, but what should I expect on Sunday?
 
We will be arriving on Saturday 11/27. 2 years ago we went and spent that Sunday in AK and it wasn`t very crowded. I hope for a repeat this year.I think it is still a big travel day.
 
We were at MK last year and it was not bad in the least - lines were not bad at all - fastpasses were in use, but they were for times within 2 hours away. I would say that it was medium busy. Not as busy as Saturday - parks were packed and not as dead as Monday where you could had a 10 minute or less wait for most things
 
I go the first week of December usually and the parks are nice, not to crowded. I went on a Saturday once and walked right back out.

Last year, the first week of December fell right after Thanksgiving. We went to MK that Sunday after T-Day. I'm comparing it to other off-season days and that one Saturday I went to MK. It was not as crowded as that Saturday but it was more crowded than I was used to in December BUT it was still manageable and we got stuff done. I just found it harder to walk around with more bodies than usual.

Enjoy!
 

We were at MK this past year on the Sunday after Thanksgiving and the crowds weren't bad. It certainly was much better than Thanksgiving Day and Friday. However, the weather turned cold on Saturday (into the low 60s vs. 80s through Friday) and that may have kept a lot of the locals away. If the weather was nicer, it may have been much more crowded.
