hi i'm trying to decide which week to go???

last year we went the week of 12/5 loved it!!!!
but this year because of my daughter first reconcilation we can't go back the first week in dec

so our other 2 options are

11/27 week -
or 12/11

which one do you think would be less crowded???
since thanksgiving is on the 24th this year

what are the dates for the christmas party this year???

I think you would encounter crowds that would be a little smaller.The decorations will be up for holidays and special events like MVMCP,CP,Osborne Lights and special holiday shows will be up or starting during your stay.We are going down 12/4 - 12/12 this year,early December is our favorite time to visit WDW.

Here's what I learned:
There's a Mousefest going on Nov 30 -Dec 3 w/ a big "MegaMouse meet" on sat 12/3. You can visit this site http://www.mousefest.org/ for details.

12/4-12/10 is Pop Warner week. Lots of teenage football players and cheerleaders. I'm assuming some will arrive as early as 12/2 and leave as late as 12/11.

We're opting for overlapping w/ the Mousefest group. Figure the parks will be quieter right after Thanksgiving and yet we'll get the benefit of all the Christmas decor. Plus, it might be fun to meet some people from these (and other) Disney boards. What really nailed the dates for me, was thinking about coming home on 12/18...and somehow being ready for Christmas! I'm sure you'll have a great time whenever you go.

This past year we were there from Wednesday before Thanksgiving and on. By Sunday, eveything had totally cleared out. We did the first night of MVMCP that Sunday night and walked onto just about everything. It was great!!!

thanks for the replies
it looks like the week after thanksgiving will be the slowest-
so that's what we are leaning toward
