I am taking my 2 daughters to DW on Wed.Nov.17 until the 22. Just curious how the crowds are? I have been to DW at the end of August. So I am sure it will be less crowded than then.
You shouldn't have much of a problem. The huge crowds aren't there until the wednesday of Thanksgiving. The 17th - 21st should be light crowds. If you are comparing them to Aug. crowds, you will be glad to see the difference.
As far as the countdown clocks. Go to the Technical Support forum and click on the Get Your Countdowns Here post.
