Disney at Christmas?
I'm thinking about spending a few days at Disney World during the week
between Christmas and New Years day, but I've heard the crowds are very bad that week. Are they that bad? Enough to drive you away from the park? Will I spend more time standing in line than enjying the park? |

Enough to drive you away from the park? Will I spend more time standing in line than enjying the park? It is *the* most crowded week of the year. Whether you can still enjoy WDW under those conditions depends on your temperament. If you're willing to scale back your expectations about what you can accomplish, you'll be fine. After all, the Disney parks have lots of interesting things to do and see even if you never stand in line for a ride. Of course, if you take advantage of FastPass and single- rider lines where available, you can do quite a few rides, too. I suggest that you read some of the information in the Planning section of www.allearsnet.com, then ask some followup questions in the rec.arts.disney.parks newsgroup. Good planning will pay off even more at a crowded time like Christmas than at slower times of the year. (For example, if you think you might want to do any special dinner packages or go to a popular restaurant on a busy night, you'll want to make reservations as soon as they open, which will be in a week or so for the Dec. 25-31 period.) You might also want to get Bob Sehlinger's "Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World" and/or "Passporter Walt Disney World." It's a magical time of the year at WDW, so if you can cope with the crowds, you'll have a fun week! Patty |

Not only is Christmas week the most busy time at Mouse Land, but you'll be facing double or triple hotel rates. Good rooms may be scarce as they've already been booked by July. Pick an alternate place to spend a family vacation at Christmas. Maybe a Disney or Royal Caribbean cruise? Ft. Lauderdale / Hollywood offers lots of family friendly lodging, dining and activities see: http://sunny.org and aren't as costly as Miami Beach. If you really want a theme park vacation, set it up for another time of the year when there isn't a major holiday. -- ________ To email me, Edit "xt" from my email address. Brian M.
