Thanksgiving is always the fourth Thursday in November. This year it will be Nov 26.

In recent years it has been very busy around a minor holiday called Veterans Day on Nov 11. But this year Nov 11 is on a Wednesday so it is hard to say crowds anything about crowds.

Usually DLR converts over to Holiday mode in mid-November. Based on recent years it will probably be on Nov 13 this year. That means new fireworks and parades, lots of holiday decorations, and holiday overlays for HM and IASW.

How are crowds? I have only gone during Thanksgiving week and it has been pretty busy that week. I read from others that crowds are not so bad in Nov except for Veterans Day and Thanksgiving week.

Last year we went to DLR from Nov. 13th-17th. It was in the mid to upper 80's the whole time. I think it felt even hotter because the fires in the area had just started. The air was very smoky. But I think it was unusually warm for that time of the year?

My DH and I are at DL two years ago on the Wednesday morning before Thanksgiving and the crowds were light. We also went on Sunday afternoon of Thanksgiving weekend and it was light too. I asked a cast member about the light crowds and she said it was light the whole weekend. It was weird. I'm not sure if that's the case all the time. The weather in LA is warn (75-80) in November. I'm always cooking on Thanksgiving with the windows open and in shorts 'cause it gets hot.

Once when I went in Nov about 5 years ago it was 95º!!! Luckily I had tossed in one pair of shorts "just in case" it was warm enough. I ended up wearing the same pair of shorts for 2 1/2 days because it was so warm! Now I always check the weather first and pack accordingly.

The best advice I can give regarding the weather is be prepared. Take a warm jumper and some lighter clothing. In the years we have gone in late Nov early December we found it quite cold. This being said we were living in FNQ so the temperatures were relative to where we were coming from. The locals and people from Northern parts were walking around in shorts and t-shirts and we were all rugged up. The days were pleasant but the nights freezing for us. I remember walking home in the late evening and people were swimming in the pool while we had gloves and beanies on. For me anytime after September I need a jumper at least at night. Last year we were there in early Oct and days were jeans and t-shirt but in the evening I wore a long sleeve shirt and a leather jacket.

Mornings and evenings in November are usually quite cool and crisp - definitely jacket weather. Often times it will be a little breezy. Sometimes it rains in November. The summer temps start to wear off in late October/early November, and suddenly it can drop down to 60 in the afternoon or so (but in Disneyland, it will feel warmer than that). In other words, November is not a month where you can count on warm weather, though you may get it from time to time. December evenings are downright cold (for California) at 40 degrees or sometimes lower. I love COLD! I think fall and winter should SEEM like fall and winter and not seem like summer!

Crowds around Thanksgiving are more tolerable the week before and especially the week after (around December 1st). Weather in November in the area is warmer than most people expect - not as much of a chance of rain and when we have the phenomenon of Santa Ana winds (hot dry winds), it can make the area feel like summer. As another poster said, it can be cooler in the evenings (as in 55-60 degrees), but it can also be warmer during the day. I would say the week after Thanksgiving would be a good time, for both crowds and weather.
