I scanned through to see if anyone else mentioned this and I’m not finding anything. Tomorrow is my ADR day so I jumped on here to check crowd levels. We are arriving the day after Thanksgiving. I was shocked to see such low crowd levels. The highest for that weekend and the following week is 5, I expected at least 8s and higher. Is there a reason projections are so low?

IIRC it is not uncommon for Thanksgiving crowds to dissipate quickly after the holiday. Try checking the last few years historical crowd levels to confirm.

Our favorite week is the week after Thanksgiving for lower crowds, nice weather, and Christmas decor. We have arrived on the Saturday after and stayed through Thursday of the following week 2-3 times. Crowds filter out by Sunday/Monday as people go home. I think crowds are low because people don’t want to take their kids out of school right after a longer break. Have fun!!

Hey @pwdebbie !
Checking actual crowds for the same dates last year is often a good first step in answering questions about future dates. Links below for easy access:

You should NEVER got to Disney the week after Thanksgiving because the crowds are HORRIBLE. (Says the guy who always tries to go during that week because of how lovely the crowds actually are, but don’t want you to know it or else people will start flocking there those days and ruin it for us all!!!)

I was there last year those dates. It was “stand in line for the bathroom” crowd level. I regretted not buying LL, so this year I will for F, Sat, and Sun.

It was a 2 CL overall out of 10. And a 1 CL at MK. Both of which were lower than predicted.
