Two Days, Four Parks 🏰 – Thanksgiving Adventure at Walt Disney World

Overall, we walked around 20,000 steps each day—exhausting but super fun! 🎢 We expected crowds over Thanksgiving weekend, but it was actually less crowded than the week before. Every park was decked out in Christmas decorations, which looked totally different from when I visited in spring—loved it!! ❄️✨ Here’s our two-day park order (arrival times + wait times), with ⭐ indicating we used Lightning Lane Multi-Pass (LLMP) or Single Pass (LLS). For full reviews including food and ride experiences, check the attached screenshots—ran out of space here! 😅 Day 1: Hollywood Studios → Magic Kingdom → Epcot Hollywood Studios (LLMP used) 1️⃣ Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway – 9:20 AM, no wait 🚂 2️⃣ Slinky Dog Dash – 9:40 AM, waited 30 min 🐕 3️⃣ Alien Swirling Saucers – 10:20 AM, waited 10 min 👽 ⭐4️⃣ Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster – 10:50 AM, waited 20 min 🎸 5️⃣ Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance – 12:15 PM, just reopened, almost no wait 😬 ⭐6️⃣ Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run – 1:10 PM, less than 10 min wait 🚀 3:00 PM – Took shuttle to Magic Kingdom.

Evening at Epcot: Walked through all 11 pavilions and stayed for the 9:30 PM fireworks. Personally, Epcot’s fireworks were even better than MK’s! 🌌 The spot between Norway and Mexico pavilions offered a perfect view.
