Thanksving Week Question

[Jack68]

I'm traveling the week of Thanksgiving with wife and my 2 kids (7 & 3). Likely doing two days at Magic Kingdom. Given the crowds, would love the boards insight on days to go to MK.

Would you suggest Tuesday & Wednesday? Or Wednesday & Thursday?

We've never been and want to give the kids the best experience in discovering MK.

Not all schools have Tuesday off, so I'd think Tuesday would be the best day. Most of the schools in my state, SC, have school on Monday and Tuesday. However, a neighboring county in Georgia has the entire week off. I looked up Orlando's schools and they also have the entire week off. Also consider the parents trying to stretch their paid vacation days off! Some might not be able to take Mon-Wed off - more would be able to take Wed off than Monday.

I just checked a crowd calendar and MK was a recommended park for Tuesday and a not recommended one for Wed and Thursday. (The way EMH work influence best parks too). On Wed, MK has evening EMH, so plan to get there at rope drop. On Thursday, MK isn't just not recommended but extremely not recommended.

I would recommend Tuesday as well. We are in FL and my kids only have off Wed-Friday so Tuesday will probably be the least crowded for them to get the best experience.

I would say Tuesday as well, we were there last year on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and it was fine. Mistake to go on Thanksgiving day, what a nightmare! Went back Black Friday and I honestly have never seen the park that empty and we go a lot. It was GREAT. Didn't even get remotely crowded until about 1pm when we were leaving.
