This time, while Fantasmic and park hours are off peak, we have no refurbs and fireworks every day. What gives? This seems a little early for the Thanksgiving break crowd, and while a smattering on year round track like my rugrats are off, most kids are, I assume, in school. Hotels seem to be brisk, but I was still finding deals within 5 bucks or so of last year's rates (I'm staying at the Anaheim Park for 48 a night- I like the big rooms and pool, and having a bar on premises makes my evenings). So what am I missing? Did DL just get the OK on fireworks a couple weeks early because of the 50th, or the low smoke launch system? Is there a big crowd expected for reasons I'm not seeing? Is there a convention? I hope it isn't the nuerologists again, getting them off the kiddie rides in FL was near impossible......

Originally Posted By mickeynewe Suzie, I'm off to go search the article you talked about...is it just because of the 50th this year? We are planning on possibly going the 5-9th of November now too instead of December. Couldn't pass up those AP rates!
