Question

Is Disney World crowded around Thanksgiving time?

Answer 1

probably most people  are on vacation ,

but hey take me if you go, i wanna see mickey and donald  

Answer 2

We went last year and it was great!  Lines were short and yes, there was a slight crowd, but nothing like it is during the summer months when school is out or spring break!

:-)

Answer 3

The disney website will tell you when they consider "off season". I went in January, an off season, and compared to a previous vacation there during "peek" season, there is definitely a difference. Its always crowded, but, in January there was never a problem to find a bench to sit down, or a place to eat quick.

Answer 6

it like always crowded but during holidays its even crowder!!

Answer 7

go to the library and check out the book Birnbaum Guides Disneyworld

They have actually done all the research as to which month /days even times that the park is most crowded. I always use these guides for Disneyland/world

In answer to your question..THANKSGIVING is the most busy....along with Christmas.Best time to go is the week after Thanksgiving thru the second week in Dec.

Hope this helps...Have fun

These guides also include everything you need to know about the parks and the surrounding areas

Answer 8

isn't it always crowded

Answer 9

less crowded certainly than times like christmas, new years, summer months,

and times where schools all across the country have their breaks

that said November is a great time to travel there.

have a great time.

Answer 10

thanksgiving is actually one of the least crowded times of the year.

my family has gone for the last 2 weeks of november many times thoughout the years since 1971.

its great cuz you get the best of both worlds since alot the christmas decorations are up but there is not much of a crowd.

and the weather is nice. usually high 70's low 80's and not much rain.

you know its weird cuz you would think that on christmas it wouldn't be crowded cuz people want to be with their family but its just the opposite the closer you get to christmas the more crowded it gets. from dec 21st to jan 1st its the most crowded time of the entire year.

anyways.

thanksgiving is one of the best times to go.

have fun!

Answer 11

The period between Thanksgiving and Christmas has been always been great time to visit Disney World, with the parks decorated for Christmas, but not much crowds. This happy picture seems to have changed; Mousesavers' authors report heavy crowds. Other cautions: the Magic Kingdom closes early some nights, and weather may be too cool for the water parks. Still, this remains a recommended time for enjoying the park decorations before peak season.

Other recommended times:

    * January, after school starts back after the holidays

    * late April until Memorial Day

    * late August: many schools in the southeast are back in session, and crowds are typically less. Also, resort prices drop somewhat. Watch out, though, for earlier park closings!

    * "Wonderful Weeks": the Walt Disney World site has a best time to visit Walt Disney World calendar, with specific suggested dates about when to visit. For example: first two weeks in April; last three weeks in August, and most of September; second weeks of Nov. and of December. This calendar notes Special Events as well.

If you do visit during a busy time of year, be sure to make good use of Fastpass to sidestep line-ups for rides.  

Answer 12

We were there November 17-28, 2006. The crowds showed up two days before Thanksgiving, and were unbearable on Thanksgiving day.  We went to Downtown Disney on this day to avoid the crowds.  It was too cold to swim in the pools.

Answer 13

Friends of ours went last Thanksgiving and found it to be more crowed than they had ever experienced before. So much so they couldn't even get around the stores to shop or check out.
