Which week would you rather?

Having been both times, I can tell you that December will be much, much more crowded.

If we were to go in Dec the only dates that would work would be 12/15 or 12/16 to 12/21. We are booked now 11/21 - 11/27.
You think the Decmber trip would be busier & we should stick with the Thanksgiving dates?
I know neither of these date ranges are ideal, but w/ school schedules that's what we have to choose from. Having only been to WDW once, I am so very thankful for all of the advice I'm getting here. Thanks!!

We've been at both times and think the crowd levels are pretty comparable. For both weeks, crowd levels will build throughout the week.

We would personally not choose the December week again because it was just too stressful to plan a trip and then come home only a couple days before Christmas with young children. There is so much going on that time of year.

I would book in December, cheaper and less crowds.
Last year, I was there Thanksgiving week and the crowds made many activities difficult. This year, I plan on coming in on December 13th.

In 2013, I was there Christmas week and it was comparable to Thanksgiving week. My research indicates that the week before Christmas is less stressful but still has the holiday benefits.

Thanks for this!

I know it probably seems like I'm stressing too much over this, but a Disney vacation is such a big deal (and a Big expense!) that I just want to make the best choices possible. Thanks again!!
