Last year I had a wonderful time spending Thanksgiving at Disney World with friends, but the crowds were pretty much as busy as I had ever experienced at Disney.
My friends took full advantage of early access to the parks since they were staying in a Disney hotel and we quickly learned to Fastpass the busiest rides in each park first (Soarin, Toy Story Mania). We also made reservations at the various restaurants months earlier... I don't think we would have eaten much otherwise!
Do you have any tips or tactics for dealing with the holiday crowds?
