Week after Thanksgiving... will it be crazy busy???

DIS Friends, can you look into Madame Leota's crystal ball and tell me if you think our dates will be manageable or crazy busy? I booked our room months ago for 11/28 through 12/6. DS and I went about this same time in 2015 and found it quite enjoyable. I was looking at room availability for this trip and it is very limited. Does that mean the parks are going to be super busy? DH has not been during the holidays and I hoped this would be a great time for him to experience Christmas magic at Disney. With thoughtful planning I feel we can have a wonderful time even if there are larger crowds than expected. I know Madame's crystal ball can be murky, but was curious as to the thoughts of experienced Disney planners.

We have gone the same time every year since 2004. The busiest I can remember seeing it was last year when Free dining was offered. Looks like it will be the same way this year based on resort availability! If they keep doing free dining, it will no longer be considered a 'slow week' in my opinion! But, we'll still have fun though! Don't let it worry you!

I went at that exact time last year, and am going back the same time this year!
I didn't find it all too crazy last year, but the resorts do seem really full this year. I wish you the best with planning!

That's a very good week to go. Before moving to the area 3 years ago we went at that time of year for 25+ years. Its gotten busier over time, but still a great choice.

Definitely not crazy, but just a noticeable difference. We go for the decorations and they do not disappoint!
