Crowds in November?

I feel like I'm asking a ton of questions but it has been several years since I've gotten to visit WDW. We are visiting November 18-27. Thanksgiving falls during this week. Are crowds going to be huge? I visited there in 1999, and 2001 at the same time and we never had long waits. I was hoping for the same experience again but I'm sure things have changed in the last 5 years. TIA

I've done a lot of research (asking people, googling, etc) on this week because it's a good week for teachers..lol. We planned to go last year at this time, but it didn't work out. However, it tends to be a normal weekend before, low crowds on Monday, a little busier but still low on Tues, picking up speed on Wed, with Thurs, Fri, Sat the busiest, Sun back to a normal weekend, then on Mon-DEAD.

I have had several family members to go at this time of year several years dating back to 1974.

Many schools in the south have the whole week off, but some schools throughout the country are only off Wed-Fri, and some just Thurs & Fri. Universities usually don't have the whole week off.

A website I frequent puts crowds at a 7 and 8 for the week on a scale from 1-10. We went in October last year and the scale said 5/6 and I thought there was a lot of people there! My dh says that the week of Thanksgiving is really crowded.
