Very crowded. One of the busiest times of the year.

The first part of Thanksgiving week

Highest Attendance: Presidents' week in February
Mid-March through Late April ("Spring Break")

I really need to start paying attention better.


The days before Thanksgiving aren't really crowded at all. Thanksgiving Day the parks get packed.

Sorry!

Thanks. I feel much better about my decision to get leave on Wednesday rather than Friday.
