NFT: Thanksgiving Week at Disney World

feelflows : 8/18/2017 8:35 am
We've booked Thanksgiving week at Disney World.. great treat for my 4 year old girl (well, she'll be 5 by then).

Has anybody gone that week? We were told that the crowds are fairly thin at that time (for Disney).

I would love some suggestions and tips. Thanks!!

by the way

I was being sarcastic about it being quiet there.. it will obviously be a madhouse. But, unfortunately, it's the only time we can swing it (although I hear Thanksgiving DAY maybe less crowded).
took the family years ago...

but not at Thanskgiving...

one tip has always stuck with me...when you first get to the park, go to the back and work your way forward...that way you will be closer to the exits when your day is done...plus the crowds tend to jump on the first ride(s) they see...

Was there in early December

many years ago when my kids were little and it was great. Far fewer crowds and as you might expect from Disney, the Magic Kingdom was decorated for Christmas in, well, a "magical" way. (sorry I had to).

I would imagine though that at Thanksgiving you'll still be dealing with large crowds.

Thanks guys. I think we are going to move it to early December. My wife can push her vacation days up.
if you can...

stay on site...you get into the park earlier (unless they've changed it)...

Someone has given you bad advice. Disney is jam packed on Thanksgiving week. A better time to go would be early November
