re: Disney People - How were the crowds for Thanksgiving week?

Leaving today. We have been here all week. The most crowded days were Wednesday and Friday. Least crowded were Monday and Thanksgiving.

We used fast passes and hit some parks at rope drop. Did all of the popular rides without ever waiting more than 35 mins. Also did our favorite rides multiple times.

After you use your 3 fast passes, you can select another at any of the parks. If you refresh enough, you can get any ride except the super popular ones (Frozen, Avatar, rock'in rollercoaster. 7 dwarfs mine train). We paired up a did our favorite rides again this way.

The Holiday Kitchens in Epcot were very good. We dropped our reservations and ate around the world showcase while taking in the bands each night. We stayed at Beach Club, so that was easy.

If your kid wants to do Jedi training, get to Hollywood Studios an hour before rope drop to sign up. We got there 30 mins before rope drop and got one of the last spots.
