So I have two questions: 1) Is the MK seriously Crowded on Thanksgiving as it is on other holidays And if the answer to #1 is yes. Can anyone recommend another place to Dinner (Im thinking EPCOT or the resorts)

We ended up at the hotel about an hour before their first dinner seating. We sat out on the patio & snoozed some (got that done before dinner, so we could head to the parks after dinner) & enjoyed the meal tremendously. It was nice to have lots of choices like a regular buffet, but still have enough traditional things to remind us that it was Thanksgiving day.
