QUESTION: Hi Sandy,

We are traveling to Disney 11/13/09 thru 11/20/09.  Do you have any idea if this is a really busy time.  Could you also recommend what days to visit which parks.  I have a 7 year old boy.  We are staying at Shades of Green on Disney.  

P.S. I have this big fear that it will be so busy we will spend all of our time in line.  I was thinking we would be there before Thanksgiving so it would not be too bad.  We are pulling my son out of school.




ANSWER: Hi Dani -

Thanks for checking with us. It is a great time to visit with lots of holiday cheer. Crowds will pick up later in your stay.

As to which park which day, it depends what kind of park passes you have, how much time you want to dedicate to each park and when you will be going (ie are you early risers, night owls, etc.)
Unfortunately there is not a one size fits all answer.

Happy travels
Sandy

QUESTION: Thanks for responding Sandy.  We have a five day park hopper.  We don't plan on doing any parks on Friday the 13th or Friday the 20th when we are leaving.  As for the other days we are there are there certain days that you know of that are the best for each of the four parks?

Thank you,

Dani Ayotte

Answer
Hi Dani -

The Magic Kingdom tends to be more crowded on the weekend.  The Magic Kingdom is least crowded any nights they don't have SpectroMagic and the same is true for Disney's Hollywood Studios when they don't have Fantasmic!

Have a great time
Sandy
