Pretty good - a little crowded during the day, but it seemed to thin out later in the day.

You were in EPCOT, right? It was probably best to stay away from MK...

That's what MmeLeota's crowd planner had suggested. We had the Behind the Seeds tour and lunch readies at Via Napoli so it was just logical to spend the day at Epcot. I talked with someone who had spent the day at DHS and she said it was crowded but no more than usual for close to a holiday. I do wonder how bad MK was!

Hi Amy! Any Black Friday shopping Mickey style?? :D Were the crowds at the parks busy or was everyone shopping? :shock:

No black Friday shopping for us, we did a little ummm, super(?) shopping Saturday today. No deals other than the quick service receipts started having the 20% off coupons starting either Wed or Thur. When I asked about sale or clearance shirts I was met with a blank look :( guess all that stuff is being shipped over to the outlet now...

That could be true - I never see in any Disney theme park store a rack labeled "Clearance"...

So Black Friday still hasn't made it to the World yet? It's hard to believe. It's even coming up here to Canada, and we don't even celebrate Thanksgiving in November (we celebrate it in October :roll: ).

Did the crowds get worse as the week went on, or were they the same throughout? Kids and I are thinking about attaching a little WDW time onto our cruise for Nanny's 80th birthday next November. We'd be there at the beginning of the week, out before Thanksgiving day.

It has been noticeably more crowded since Wednesday. I am sincerely hoping a lot if people are leaving this evening (Sunday) or tomorrow morning :lol:
You should be ok before the holiday...

Any chance you'll be there next Thanksgiving? Kids and I will probably be there at the beginning of the week.

Never say never, but we don't have a next trip planned yet. I sure hope we can meet up someday. It's fun having someone to ride the bigger things with, like EE, since F1gment can't do those attractions...plus, you guys really know the yummy places to eat ;) :lol:
