Will the holiday decorations be up by that first week and is that a less-crowded time in the parks? I would love to be there for the Candlelight processional but am worried about the crowds in the days leading up. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks in advance!

Originally Posted By Sparrow I have gone the week before Thanksgiving and the week after and found the week before less crowded. The decorations should be up that first week, yes. But beware of major local crowds the first Friday night the decorations are up. I think they had to close the turnstiles last year.
Originally Posted By MerryMouseWife Although it was awhile ago, 2007, my DH and I went the week after Thanksgiving from Tuesday through Friday and found DL very uncrowded. Friday was also very rainy but they were getting ready for the Candlelight Procession that night, if the rain stopped. We left early Friday afternoon, so I cannot speak on the evening, although I have been there on the first Saturday in December and found the daytime crowds not terrible yet, but the evening with the Procession was a nightmare trying to get around. Hope this helps some.
