Which week is less croweded?

We are looking at going to Disneyland in November. I am a jazzercise instructor and Jazzercise will be performing on Sat, Nov. 22 (the weekend BEFORE Thanksgiving). Would attendance be lower if we go to Disneyland the week before the parade (Tues. the 18th-Sat the 22nd) or afterwards (Sat 22- Wed the 26th- day before Thanksgiving)? Thank you so much!!

Logic tells me the week before would be less crowded. However, all the people on this site have the same logic and are looking at the same post, which means they'll plan to go the week before. So it may not make a difference.

I also generally think that the week before Thanksgiving will be less busy that the week that includes Thanksgiving. If nothing else, your "before" trip encompasses fewer "weekend" days when the crowds tend to be higher (Saturday is common to both, but Sunday is only a factor in the "after" trip).

The week before will likely be less crowded, but it is also shorter hours, I believe, so there is always a trade off.
