Will Thanksgiving or "Jersey Week" be more crowded?

[Disneycrazymom]

I just got our school calender and we have fall conferences the week of Nov.7th. The kids will be off school the 11 and 12. So we could get a week with them only missing 3 days(still a lot but better than 5). OR they have Wed 23rd -25th for Thanksgiving. So we would get a week but only miss 2 days of school. It would be better to miss 2 than 3, but I think Thanksgiving will be more crowded than Jersey Week. Anyone been to both? Any thoughts on what to consider before making a decision? Thanks everyone!

I think Thanksgiving is one of the busiest times of the year! I keep hearing about Jersey Week crowds and based on my experience at Jersey Week in 2003 it was not that crowded. I also think that just after Thanksgiving is a good time to go. Good luck!

I haven't been over thanksgiving but a friend has and said it was absolutely packed. Several years ago I did go early Nov. and only the Animal Kingdom seemed crowed on one day. I'd go early.
