Which park Thanksgiving Day?

[temple4]

Will they all be swamped? Can we go in the morning at rope drop and leave early afternoon? Thanks in advance for any help on this one.

We are planning to be in WDW for Thanksgiving Day and would like some expert advice on the question of which park on Thanksgiving day.
Thanks,

Any park will be fine!!

We were in MK on Early Entry at Rope Drop (second family through our turnstyle) on Thanksgiving Day and up until about 2pm we were moving pretty quickly through attractions by hustling and using FastPass. (FYI they opened the ENTIRE park for Early Entry and allowed all guests in the gates, though the ones on the resort guest side were let in to the hub about 10 minutes early)

We rode the following:
Space Mountain
Buzz Lightyear
Carousel of Progress (3 times) (IT WAS OPEN!!!!!)
Haunted Mansion
Winnie the Pooh
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Splash Mountain
Pirates of the Caribbean
Jungle Cruise

We left the park by 2:30pm and spent the rest of the evening at our resort.

IMO

Avoid MK on Thanksgiving Day, except later in the evening (after 6pm. The park is open late (until 11pm), at least it had been, and many guests leave after the fireworks...still lots of time to catch normally busy attractions without wait between say 8 & 11pm.

We were there for Thanksgiving this year...we did MK first thing in the morning, wasn't too crowded till about 12 noon. We have 6 kids & HATE crowds.

Then we went back to the resort for a break, EPCOT that night ...dinner at Coral Reef...World Showcase after was empty!! It was great! Would have been a little better if it was a little warmer, but it was still better than the snow we had back home!!

All week(even before t-day) we thought MK was more crowded than other parks. Sunday, our last day, MK was empty! Nice way to end the trip.
