Thank you for the links. Each time I tell myself "why not just leave plans the way they are," I think how nice the smaller crowds will be.
I think the decision to change is alittle easier since we are driving. I had thought about going the week before Thanksgiving, but that is the end of DD's grading period. More chance she would miss tests than the week after Thksgvng. Im hoping her teachers will give her some work before we go (insert evil laugh)

and we really love Christmas time so I would love to be there when WDW is all decked out.
I do think we will do MVMCP if we go the week after. We would be going to AK that morning and we will be leaving the next day, so we will be able to sleep in alittle before we head out.
Do you know if rain cancels this event? Do you pre-purchace your tickets or wait until that night?
Thanks all of you for your help!!!
