  • The FAA says more than 360,000 commercial flights are scheduled over the week, marking its busiest Thanksgiving in 15 years.
  • LAX forecasts about 2.5 million travelers for the holiday period, with roughly 230,000 expected on Sunday alone.
  • On-the-ground video shows pre-dawn crowds streaming into Disneyland, with reports of long waits, congested walkways, and limited same-day Lightning Lane availability.
