We are planning on going to Disney Sunday November 18 – Wednesday the 21st. Anyone have any past experience on how busy it is before thanksgiving?

Thanks for your help.

We are going the same time, so I would be interested in other folks experiences as well.

I have been cruising through the boards and as far as I can gather, it will be pretty busy. We are staying on-site, so taking advantage of early hours will be key. I have finally come to the realization that I will just need to remain calm and adjust my expectations from previous visits.

I have warned the kids that we will be getting up quite early every day but they can sleep in when we get home on thursday. They seem to be onboard for that.
 
We will be there the 17th-22nd and from all I have read the few days leading up to, and immediately following Thanksgiving are usually 10/10 on attendance. I would be prepared for very large crowds and plan to start your day early before the locals show up.
 
Hey guys! We have gone that week several times. Here is what to expect, from our experience both last year, and in 2007.

Sunday and monday will be pretty good. Plan on doing all the rides you can during those two days.

Tuesday you will most likely see an increase in crowds. Still doable, but you will notice things are getting busy, more in the evening than the morning.

Wednesday........ CROWDED! it is still enjoyable, but go in with the mindset that it will be a busy day. By evening time it wil be a mad house... but still walkable. Just take your time and plan accordingly. We have always had a great time the week of Thanksgiving, but always plan on it being busy as the week goes on.

Thursday.... See Wednesday and add a bit.

Hope that helps a little!!!!
