Thanksgiving or Spring Break?

[mickeys friend]

We've been to WDW at many different times of the year,but I'd like to hear from everyone which they would choose,either Thanksgiving (really the friday before Thanksgiving and departing the day before Thanksgiving,or Spring Break)?We have been there the week before Thanksgiving many years ago and came home on Thanksgving day,but we've never been there during Spring Break.Since Spring Break comes at different times for different states,(ours is middle of April) and it seems as if there isn't a time when Disney isn't busy,but I know that some times are worse than others.So any help would be great.Thanks

times... and I liked them both. If your spring break is at Easter, I would avoid it. Our spring break is always the same week in March, so it is rarely with Easter. I think if your spring break is away from Easter, the crowds may be a little less than at Thanksgiving. Both times have great weather.

thanksgiving week is becoming more and more popular - Sat before thanksgiving to the sat after.

so you will definitely get some of it. - Still the Christmas decorations are up and everything is lovely.

or spring break during the flower/garden festavial - both are great times.

probably spring break - but only if your spring break does not fall into the surrounding countries for Orlando -
Lake, Osceola, Orange (okay I forget the other one)

one time went on my birthday, March 20 - though I would be fine - wrong both Osceola and Orange countries were off that week - never saw so many people. Since that time these counties have had different weeks.

I would go
Thanksgiving because it is sooner.

I pick Spring break only because not all schools have the same spring break week while Thanksgiving week is the same for most of the US. Crowds would definitely be better.

Hands down Thanksgiving or in your case just before Thanksgiving.. We went that same time but stayed till Sat after Thanksgiving.

I must say up until Tues.(two days before Thanksgiving) the parks were quiet. Wed the crowds started to build by evening and sky rocketed on Thanksgiving.

What really blew my mind was riding around in the car the day after Thanksgiving wearing shorts and listening to the none stop Christmas songs on the radio!
