I just want to add that we were in MK on Wednesday 11/22. We must've just gotten in (before they quit letting in guests) because we entered the park about 9:45 pm. They were making the announcement about Main Street and the Hub being closed. We were still able to stand on Main Street, in front of the Emporium (closer to the entrance than the Hub). So, while it was crowded, that section of Main Street still had plenty of room for people to stand. Closer to the Hub was wall-to-wall people.
And we knew it would be a busy week. But I don't think we'll go back for Thanksgiving again. Or, if we do, we'll come down the Wednesday before and stay through to the following week. We managed to do everything we wanted to do, just not repeat them all over and over. We got several rides on Splash (three on Friday), several rides on Pirates, Jingle Cruise, and HM. But we didn't get to do Big Thunder multiple times.
We did AK on Wednesday and were ON the "banshee" for FOP when the ride broke. We were given two any-attraction, any-park FPs for each of us. We managed to ride FOP twice. On the second ride, our party was evacuated again from the room and put into another room. With this, we got yet another any-attraction, any-park FP. Some chose to do the Navi River Ride and others chose to hop to MK and use the FP for SDMT.
We got the most done early in the mornings and late at night. And then just kind of went with the flow the rest of the time.
