Thanksgiving Crowds

[heliumalias]

Hi,
Asa non-American I was just wondering if anyone knows how busy the parks get the week of (Monday before to Monday after) Thanksgiving, in particular Thanksgiving day itself?
Apologies if this thread already exists.

It has been my experience that the crowds are not too bad before Thanksgiving Day itself.
Then on Thanksgiving Day they get bad, particularly for the Magic Kingdom. The day after Thanksgiving Day can also be bad because people in the area are off from work and will go to WDW.

For 2008 the American Thanksgiving Day is November 27.
It is always the fourth Thursday in November.

Tks.

Thanks!
Anyone know whether this applies to all of the parks in the Orlando area (inc Universal and Seaworld)?

I would think that this applies to all warm vacation destinations in the US.

It's been my experience that the crowds are not bad on the Monday before Thanksgiving, then as the week goes on it gets worse. Thanksgiving is pretty busy, but Friday is really crowded. But, thats when all of the Christmas decorations magically appear.
