A couple years ago my brother-in-law, who's a big Disney fan, told me that there's lots of families that spend their Thanksgiving every year at Disney World.

I have found that the weekend before Thanksgiving can be a pretty decent travel week with lots of hotels giving good rates. A few years back did a D.C. trip that weekend and got an amazing deal at a high end hotel a couple blocks from the Mall. Plus the crowds were pretty low key for D.C.
