We were there the week of Thanksgiving as well! We were in DLP on Monday and spent the rest of the week either in Paris or day tripping around other places.
I was surprised by how many Americans were in the Parks. I was prepared for British, but by an large the English speakers we encountered were American.
I loved Crush - I think everyone would go bonkers for it in the States. Too bad it has such low capacity. I agree about the Studios being bizarrely mashed together. It was just....strange.
What did you think about maintenance (you may have mentioned it and I just missed it)? I sat in the (empty and closed) Main Street Plaza Ice Cream Shop adjacent to the Bakery to drink my coffee and looked at all the chipped paint and thought - "I never want to hear another complaint about WDW maintenance again.....??" Even the castle - the parts you could tour up top and down below - needed a coat of paint in most spots. For me, it was crazy after years of WDW and DL.
Interestingly, I thought we had great service, but I thought it was because of the low crowds?
