Thanksgiving week - are we crazy to go to WDW ?

[pooh2001]

Thanksgiving week - Nov 18th - Nov 26th
great weather - still warm to swim, less rain than summer
Christmas decorations up on Nov 25.

But I heard WDW is crowed like Christmas week and 4th of July.
Are we crazy to go to WDW ?

We like MK and EPCOT as our favoite parks and plan on staying a the Yacht Club.

Any hints for Thanksgiving week ?

Thanks

Come on down and go with the flow! Yes, it will be busy over Thanksgiving but it's great to be a part of, and enjoy, all the festivities.

The Yacht Club is a wonderful resort to stay at and is just a short walk from there to Epcot.

We'll be waiting for you.

We went this past Thanksgiving. It was barely warm enough to swim three days. The rest of the days were cold.

Crowd wise, it was busier than we like it. We were there at this time last year and compared to the MLK weekend, Thanksgiving crowds were hard to manage.

We spent Thanksgiving 2005 at WDW, we arrived the Saturday before and only faced normal Theme park crowds I would say on the weekend. Monday and Tuesday before Thanksgiving were not too bad, but come Late Tuesday and Wednesday it started to get really crowded.

We had done all the must do's early in the week, so we didn't need to wait in the long lines. All of the Christmas decorations were up during our visit and those were outstanding, especially the Osborne Lights.!!!!

I would say if you hit all the must do attractions early in your trip you will be fine, unless you hate crowds.
