Thanksgiving 2010 or Spring Break 2011?

[mrsyakitori]

We are looking to head back down to WDW, but I am torn as to when. We would be staying for 1 week, Saturday through Saturday. Currently our options are the week of Thanksgiving this year or Spring break 2011 which will be March 27-April 3. We have never been over Thanksgiving. I know the crowd levels will be higher during both periods, but I guess I am looking for the lesser of 2 evils. The past few years we have gone just before & just after Christmas so we can handle the crowds, but don't enjoy them.

Any suggestions?

I'm interested in hearing some responses as well.

Since I haven't been at WDW at these times, I can only give info I've researched. On **************.net, there is a chart ranking the weeks. Your spring break dates rank as the 27th best week of the year to visit in 2011. Whereas thanksgiving ranks 42nd. If you are mostly concerned with crowds, it looks like your spring break dates work better.

However, if room cost is a big consideration, it looks like Thanksgiving will be cheaper. For spring break the values/moderates look like they'll be "near highest". Deluxes will be "high". During Thanksgiving values/mod will be "high", and deluxes will be at "moderate" prices. (Not sure why but that's what's on the website.)

It's a neat chart if you want to look it up. I'd post the attachment, but I'm not allowed to post attachments yet.

And by deluxes being at "moderate" prices, they mean within the price range of the deluxe resorts, the pricing is "moderate" in comparison with the rest of the year. (Not that deluxe hotels are offering prices of moderate hotels.) Not sure if my last post sounded confusing.
