Back in 2005 I went the Friday after Thanksgiving and stayed 9 days and it was awsome. This time I am going the week before Thanksgiving to avoid POP Warner and the Taping at MK. As far as CP goes I've seen it twice. the only other thing going on at Epcot is the Story tellers after Thanksgiving. There is not much in Christmas Decoration at Epcot any more. So that is very disapponting. I will enjoy the Christmas Party all the more at MK on the 18th of November. Have a Wishes cruise with another family on the 15th which will a bonus since these are hard to get and I don't book it I always get connected with someone willing to share their Cruise with others. It serves everyone when the cost is split among everyone.
