2005 December Holiday Crowds

[paperclip]

Hello - looking for advice on when the big holiday crowds will arrive at DW in December 2005. This year I'm not sure what to expect, since Christmas falls on a Saturday. In 2003 we had a great time with almost no crowds visiting from approx. the 17th - 22nd. In 2005 we are considering arriving on Friday, 12/16 and leaving on 12/22. I'm wondering with Christmas being a Saturday, if the parks will get crazy from Sat., 12/17 all that week or if the big crowds will arrive closer to Christmas? Any advice appreciated. Thanks! :confused3

Funny....we were at WDW in December of 2003 and thought that the crowds were too much far out of our comfort zone starting on 12/19, which was the Friday before Christmas. With Christmas falling on a Sunday this year, I have no idea what we are in for. We are visiting from the 12/11 to 12/17. I expect that Friday the 16th will be a busy day. Maggie

Well I guess it's all relative anyway. I guess I will plan for the rest and be pleasantly surprised if the crowds are moderate. :confused3

Well actually it is only really busy 1 week before christmas to new years. But before that is is usually prety slow. We always go at te beginning of December and it is like a ghost town for disney. There are no lines and the pools are usually not that packed. I hope that I have given u good advice. Have a good time :dancer:
