Timing Thanksgiving Week Visit?

[crazyventures]

Hi all,

I'm currently planning my Thanksgiving week trip (Nov. 22-29) and would like some input. We're planning 6 days at WDW and 1 day at Universal. I know we won't be able to see everything we want in one day but I'll also be getting an Express Pass/have already visited the WWoHP section in IoA.

TP's crowd calendar is showing smaller crowds for the Saturday before Thanksgiving (3 out of 10) and huge crowds the day after Thanksgiving (8 out of 10). WDW is also showing smaller crowds that Saturday so I thought it'd be a good day to visit WDW before it gets too crazy. We were just going to go after Thanksgiving but I'm now second guessing this decision.

Would it be better to take advantage of the smaller crowds on Saturday instead of starting the trip at WDW? Our three options are for visiting Universal are:
1. The Saturday before Thanksgiving (11/22)
2. The Monday before Thanksgiving (11/24)
3. The Friday after Thanksgiving (11/28)

What would you do? I'd appreciate any input. Thanks!
