Thanksgiving week?

[darcigo]

How bad is the week of Thanksgiving? Free dining is sold out for my dates n Pop resort for the week after. So which is worse?? The Thanksgiving week we can go for the full week and grandson only misses 2.5 days. There doesnt seem to be an off week really anymore!

Very crowded, but very manageable. We had a fabulous time last year.

We go almost every year and LOVE that time of year but it is crowded. However, crowded parks means extra hours and full capacity for rides so we don't mind.

We went last year and it was more crowded than it has been in previous years (we've been a few times at Thanksgiving). That said, we still accomplished most of what we wanted to do, but we had to stand in more lines than we normally do.

This will be the 4yo granddaughter's first trip. I have been there at Christmas, so to me 4 rides in a day is crowded. Not doing the dining plan in case we cant get table reservations. Plus we go with the flow of how hungry everyone is. I just want to be sure spending $$$ will be enjoyable.

We went once and it was very manageable up until Thanksgiving Day. Then MK was very crowded but we still did what we wanted to, just LOTS more people. I think crowds build up during the week. We were there Sat before until Sat after. Did a pool day the day after Thanksgiving!

I went Thanksgiving week 2016. We did the Sunday before Thanksgiving to the Saturday after. It was very manageable, especially due to the fact that the three of us were very flexible and went wherever the FPs would take us. There was certainly a noticeable difference in crowd levels when you compared Monday to Wednesday to Friday, but again, very manageable, and it didn't impede our vacation at all. In fact the only real problem we had with going during that time was the fact that it was a bit too chilly for us to go swimming, so we didn't go in the pool at all.

I noticed lots of reservations open up all week, even the night before. Also, mobile ordering will be your friend! Make sure to use it at quick service locations.
