Thanksgiving is not bad if you plan. I suggest a subscripton to Tour Guide Mike. We went during Thanksgiving the first time last year. If we had not had Mike's least crowded days, it would have been rough. I did hear people in the hotel complain about the crowds but we never had a problem. You get to see all of the Christmas decorations + the weather is usually really nice. Do bring a few sweatshirts though because it can get nippy.
