We did Sat-Sat that week. It took us a long time to get on ME, just be warned. DO NOT go to Festival of the Holidays on Black Friday. It was a madhouse last year and I hated almost every moment we were there. EPCOT on Thanksgiving day was a lot of fun. I heard from friends that MK was actually not that bad though. If you like TS meals, you'll have a great time seeing the resort decorations. We picked a new resort every day. MVMCP also had a party the Sunday or Monday (I forget) before Thanksgiving, so you could do that. It was really busy because it was the only one that week, but an upside is MK doesn't close down early any other night you're there.
Our absolute favorite day was Wednesday. Slept it, had a meal at Boma, then went to AK for a half day. We took the Elephants tour and all agreed it was perfect mid week for a break.
I had forgotten that there was an MVMCP Thanksgiving week before! (2019 right?) I looked into Thanksgiving pretty seriously awhile back, and I think I saw that. Hooray! That does help, because we really want to do that party.
So you'd recommend not doing Festival of the Holidays at all? That makes me so sad. But I am sure it's too insane to be any fun that day. What about the Saturday after Black Friday? Is that just as bad? That would be our departure day, but we did Epcot on our departure day last time we went.
I am super intrigued by the AK tours, but it's always been so ridiculously hot when we've gone that I just didn't even want to try it. That's a great idea, though!
