So if I would be careful about going towards the end of the week.
Originally Posted By MerryMouseWife Some friends of ours have gone Thanksgiving weekend several times. All the times they have gone the crowds have been crazy.

Tell your friend, if she decides to go, to make use of Fastpass as much as possible. And relax and have fun!

Wish I would have known that before our trip-we would have chosen the week after Thanksgiving instead.
Originally Posted By LuLu According to my neighbor, a teacher in LAUSD, this will be the first year LA County schools have off the whole week of T'giving, so if it was crowded last year in the days before T'giving (M-Tu-W), it should be worse this year. The week before should be fine.

Originally Posted By oredisneyfan we were there for Thanksgiving last year and found it very pleasant, not crowded at all. But we were there Thanksgiving day and the day after not the whole week. Most rides we walked right on including Haunted Mansion Holiday. We had heard it was crazy busy too but found that was not the case. I would go again at this time
