Thanksgiving

[Gwydion]

DW has decided that she wants to have a family get together at Thanksgiving.
Ideally, she wants to get a grand villa at HH for about 3-4 days. Is there even a remote possibility that one would be available? Is HH a busy time at Thanksgiving (I'm betting yes)? And if anyone has done a Thanksgiving in DVC, do you have any suggestions? Where to buy the meal, etc?
If we have to wait another year to try it won't bother me. But I promised her I'd look into it. Thanks for the help.

Although we've never been to HH at Thanksgiving (I know others here have), we were discussing it with a CM last time we were at HH. Apparently it is quite busy. About a month beforehand, HH sends a menu out to those there at that time, if they want to buy a precooked meal. They offer turkey either the traditional way or deep fried, and a variety of trimmings. At some point during the day there's a beach football game for everyone. The weather, they said, is in the upper 70's-low 80's. It really sounded like a great time to go, and now I'm working on DH to go there some year!
