Week after Thanksgiving

[briggscreek]

We're thinking of going to DL from Tues - Thurs the week after Thanksgiving. We were just there in May, but I want to go back at Christmastime. I know that the Candlelight Processional draws big crowds for the weekend, but will the weekdays be ok crowdwise? We would be driving out Friday morning. thanks!

My family & I are going at that time next year. We also want to see the Christmas overlay without the crowds! I have done a lot of reading of threads & asked the same question & everyone has told me that it is quiet at that time.
It seems that the week of Thanksgiving, and then from the middle of December onwards are all busy, but the dates in between are quiet.
Hope you enjoy your trip!

Ok, I booked HOJO's entertainment rate for those nights. Hopefully we'll get to go. We were there with our kids in May for 4 days - first time I'd been there since I was 12 - then I went for one day in August with a co-worker. Not loving the 12 hour drive, but I can't wait to go back!

We have gone the Tues, Wed and Thurs after Thanksgiving for the past 5 (or 6?) years. Its a wonderful time to go. The waits are never really bad. It seems to get slightly more crowded each year we go, but again.....not long waits.

We have always lucked out with weather as well....very mild temps, and slightly cool nights (we get our sweatshirts out of the lockers when the sun goes down). We have never had rain on the T, W or Th's we have gone to the park, but on at least 3 of our trips there was rain on the Friday we were leaving to drive home.

Happy planning!
