We went the week after Thanksgiving and it was great. My 4 kids went swimming every day, crowds were very light, and the Christmas decorations were wonderful. It got a little chilly at night, but considering it was in the 30's & 40's at home 55 didn't feel bad. We only used FastPass 2 times the entire trip. You can't believe the Christmas decorations, it really gets you in the spirt. Have fun with the planning it's one of my favorite parts of the trip.
