With the exception of rescheduling our trip last year (moved to October due to the Sept mess), we have always gone on\around Thanksgiving. Last few trips, we actually left Thanskgiving night, and get there by day break.
This is always our preferred time to go, and they're usually getting, or have, all the Christmas decorations up.
I've never been bothered by heavy crowds, but it can be crowded right around Thanksgiving, and usually drops a bit before Christmas rolls around. The nights can get cool, but not terribly bad (of course every one has their own temperature limit). But, as I said, all except for last year, all my trips have been at this time. I recommend it.
Oh, and welcome to the board.

It is a little cooler in January than in November, but not a drastic difference. Maybe a 5-6 degree difference in the highs and lows in those months.

i've been several times during the Thanksgiving holidays! very nice time to go!! the crowds are pretty medium...if i remember right, Thanksgiving Day, the crowds slim down just a bit. the climate is a bit on the cool side esp. at night, so definately take a jacket. and they've got the Christmas decorations out by Thanksgiving! last time i went during Thanksgiving, we saw the Osborne Lights at MGM, and it was 'snowing' all down New York Street...first time it 'snowed' while i was at Disney, so that was a really great surprise!
but i mean, crowd or not, you'll have a great time not matter what time you go! if you can handle a medium crowd, and a bit cooler FL climate, you'll be fine and you should definately try going that time! at least once....you'll never know if you'll like it then if you don't try!
