How awful is it? My husband and I took a trip in 2005 before we had kids. We were there Christmas Day-New Years day. We thought it was fantastic, I don't remember one long line for anything or having to fight through any crowds. We rode every single ride we wanted to some more than once. Granted we realize not having children made this much easier. We've fine 2 trips with the kids in the past 2 years at other times. Was this an exceptionally strange year? Now all I hear is that they close the parks because they are at capacity. Do they have extra busses and things running to handle the crowds if they are booked that full? We would love to surprise our kids Christmas morning with a huge disney box and 'your bags are packed, let's go!' Kind of thing
