Thanksgiving Trip Advice

[ShellyL]

I know it is early but I am traveling with my family (7 of us) and my MIL, BIL and SIL over Thanksgiving to the World and need some advice. We will be there Nov 21-Dec 1. We are going to start looking at all of the menus soon for the trip and I am just wondering what we can plan to encounter. I have heard alot of diferent things about the crowd levels. I am not really worried but would like to be prepared. I think just the fact that we will get to see the Christmas decorations and go to MVMCP will be wonderful and the fact that my MIL is paying is even better!!!!!
Thanks
Michele

I have asked this question in the past and never seem to get a clear answer. Some people say the crowds are heavy others say they are light. Everyone seems to agree that Magic Kingdom is the worse park to be in on Turkey Day. My family will be having dinner at Whispering Canyon Cafe in the Wilderness lodge.

We will be there this week too, Nov 19th - 25th!
A lot of people said it WILL be crowded, but then again it is Disney, so we fully expect that. When I made our reservations last week, the Disney Rep said it was going to be a busy time & that standard rooms were going quick! (we tried to get a standard room at WL)
I have also heard that MK is the busiest park on Thanksgiving!
One of the great DISers gave me this link http://www.pscalculator.net
This will tell you exactly when you need to make your ADR. I would go ahead and start looking at the menus, we have been planning since 11-06 and change our minds every other day

P.S. I stared a thread about a week or 2 ago called Will Thanksgiving be crowded. Do a search for it, I received some great info!
