We were there this past Thanksgiving. We landed on Friday. Went to the MK just to walk around and take a look. The crowd was big but not too bad. The crowd seem to be more at the front of the park. We didn't watch the parade the first night, we went to the back of the park and rode a few rides. The following week the crowds were not bad at all, I think the longest line was a 30 min wait. This was our first time during this time of year. DH and I honeymooned during Easter. BAD!!! There were signs saying the park was full and in so many minutes it was closing the gates. We are planning another vacation in 2010 over Thanksgiving. I would do it again.
