Is Disneyland busy between Thanksgiving and Christmas?|141271

Our family is planning a vacation to Disneyland and we_d like to be in the park December 12-15 2009 so between Thanksgiving and leaving 10 days before Christmas but we want to know if it_s super crowded during that time. If that is a busy time what time is good for us to go to see the Christmas decorations?? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

That_s a great time to go. It_s never a ghost town, but there are optimal times to go to avoid the worst crowds. From the day after Thanksgiving to the week before Christmas is a great time. We went there just this past holiday season then. Very nice, although it did get packed as usual on Saturday night.
The park is decorated beautifully, and they make it snow at night. Haunted Mansion gets a _Nightmare Before Christmas_ makeover that_s really something.
I think you_ll have a great time. I do see that you are planning to be there Saturday-Sunday-Monday-Tuesday. You should be prepared for crowds on the weekend, especially Saturday night, but Monday and Tuesday will likely be excellent in terms of light crowds.

I_ve been the first part of December as well as the week after Christmas and both were good times with very low crowds as well as enough Christmas decor to make you wanna hang yourself with some holly lol I would imagine that the dates you_ve listed being right in the middle of Christmas breaks and would be pretty busy. Good luck planning your trip hope you have a wonderful time:)

Yep, it_s going to be busy. Like mid-summer busy, especially the 12-13. First week of December is much better.

Christmas decorations are all up on Nov 21, and there_s a huge crush Nov 21-30. Then it_s not so crowded until schools get out. I would avoid the first weekend of December, since that_s the weekend of the Christmas Processional. Town square gets really filled up.

For the past few years my family has been going for the Christmas season. And we find the best time to go is the very 1st week of December. It is the least crowded. Any time after that and the crowds get pretty bad. So if you can change it to closer to the beginning of December I would. And definitely go during the week always avoid weekends if at all possible.

I believe that it would be for that_s when a lot of people are off school/work.

It is quite busy but still worth it.
