I just can’t justify spending that kind of money when the parks are only open till 6-8pm
We are the type to close it down every night and spend 12-15 hours at a park
I can’t imagine leaving a park at 6pm

We are the types who get there at rope drop and leave with park closing, and there was more than enough time for us to do everything we wanted to do at least twice while we were there. We ended up leaving before park closing on multiple days, and that's extremely unusual for us.
Granted, that was when the parks were open for 10 hours a day, but I still think you could get it all done in 8.
The only park where we felt like we could have used more time was Animal Kingdom, but that was only because my girls suddenly decided they wanted to do the wilderness explorers thing.
We got all but 3 of those stickers (only because the explorer spots opened after the park opened and closed before the park closed) and still road every ride and saw every zoo exhibit. We rode the Pandora rides and the Safari twice.
ETA: We did one day each at EPCOT and Animal Kingdom, and two days each at Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom.

We are going Thanksgiving week and I’m really worried. We went for one day this summer when they first opened (was staying at Universal) and it was amazing. Everything was a walk on. However, I’m sure Thanksgiving week will be much busier and I worry about long wait times with shorter park hours. We will just make the best of it.
The resorts on the monorail are not necessarily open. Some of them are only open for the DVC rooms. That’s not a bad thing. I highly suggest pricing a stay on property through Disney and then seeing what you can get through a DVC rental site like Dave’s DVC. We rent DVC points almost every stay and it saves us anywhere from 40-50 percent. It may be your only choice for some or all monorail resorts.
Dining plan. DO NOT DO IT. It is the biggest money grab Disney has going and so many people haven’t figured it out. You will come ahead paying for everything you eat unless the only thing you eat is steak for every meal.
