We arrive on Black Friday... Slightly worried now that it's gonna be a mega busy weekend

Black Friday sales are pretty good sales if you do go... You can get some fantastic buys but I'm going on what friends have told me not from experience.. They normally get to the shops early hours of the morning to get the bargains !

I have never been so wrong in my life ...Heaving

We'll be braving shopping on Black Friday - we'd actually planned this trip around us being in Florida over Thanksgiving. We expect it to be busy (but we are used to the crowds around 4th July so we think it should be manageable for us) but want to try to pick up some bargains for Xmas.

Thanks all, I think the quieter week before looks more appealing, looks really low on the crowd calendar which suits us

It was all Andy's idea ... Who am I to say no

This year will be our fourth trip for Black Friday. Yes the shops are busy but the sales are amazing. I get all my Christmas presents when I go fantastic savings.
I've also been may, June and July times and to be honest November is much quieter in the parks and on the roads.

Black Friday shopping from Midnight on Thanksgiving is great fun and great bargains in Outlets, WalMart etc

Some good bargains all weekend but to be honest, the Thursday night after 12:00 is the best time

No parking anywhere though :-( Easier to stay local to outlets and get taxi

Thought parks were ok as temperature a lot more pleasant than July/August and no major lines - esp Universal

The ICE show at Gaylord Palms is fantastic if you can catch it - it used to start around then

Atmosphere is great as you are in the build up to Xmas There are Red Poinsettiasand Christmas music and goods everywhere including Williams and Sonoma Peppermint Bark - which I can't get on our Summer Trips :-(

You will love it
