We had to postpone our trip last year because my son broke his arm. We will be going for 5 days and plan to visit Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Harry Potter. Which is the busiest park in terms of waiting on lines for teen rides? I know it's one of the busiest times of the year, but I'd like to know which one we should hit the day before Thanksgiving in hopes that it won't be as crowded.

Animal Kingdom according to touringplans Here is a link.

pardon the double post. I misread the calendar it is Hollywood Studios that should be the best park to go for.

Disney in Thanksgiving is super packed- i give you props for willing to go through it...but if i had to choose, i would do Magic Kingdom BEFORE thanksgiving and not ON Thanksgiving. Magic Kingdom will ALWAYS be the most packed no matter what as that's the most popular park that families/tourist attend, especially during the holidays. For teens- i would recommend Universal Studios (where Harry Potter is). EPCOT is more for adults-IMO but i find older teens like it too (Its my fave of them all too). I would also try Animal Kingdom for the teens- but they close early so you'd have to start early.

Good luck weathering the crowds! Make dinner reservations through Disney Dining as early as possible. They fill up quickly (it actually might be too late for Thanksgiving night- but you can call and see whats available).

Thanks for the information! I'll definitely take a look at the recommended sites. Also, for the tip on making dinner reservations.

I'd also suggest staying at one of the Disney hotels, because you can get early entry to the parks.

I love Disney too, have a GREAT time.

All the parks will be very, very busy. Make best use of the fast pass system and +1 for touringplans.com

If you can afford it, get a Disney or a 3rd party private guide

Thanks for recommending the above sites. Besides Disney, eating is one of the subjects of Thanksgiving. I love turkey. BTW, here is a Thanksgiving turkey quiz to test your knowledge of it. Cheers.
