I haven't been to the park on Thanksgiving Day before and was thinking of it this year. What are the crowds like? I've been between Christmas and New Years and that was a little too much for me and a lot much for my husband.
Thanks in advance!

I have heard that it is pretty crowded. We are doing lunch at Storytellers and then going to the park in the afternoon. If it is too crowded we will just ride the train. We love doing that.

Sorry, but Disney expects about the same size crowds during Thanksgiving week, as it does for the last week of December. Just looking at the scheduling of hours and entertainments shows they expect very LARGE crowds....

Yes, go check the schedule, 8 to Midnight with 2 Fantasmic's, that is only offered on days they expect a VERY Large crowd.

Thanksgiving Day is very, very crowded. We've been to DL for the last three Thanksgivings. Sunday-Tuesday isn't bad, Wednesday starts to get more crowded in the afternoon/evening. Thursday and Friday are really, very crowded. However, we've found that Thanksgiving Day is a good day to go to DCA (way less crowded), have dinner at the DLH Buffet and then catch a movie.

Thank you for the info! We will be in the park on November 21st and are hoping for a fun filled day with minimal crowds. I won't hold my breath though, the hotels on Harbor are sold out......

They added a 3rd showing of Fantasmic! on Friday (11/25) and Saturday (11/26) at 11:30pm. So there may be a possibility that a 3rd showing may be added on Thanksgiving Day. They may have already planned an extra showing of Fantasmic but won't make the final call until that day.
