1st. week in December crowds

[Nuchi15697]

We are planning a trip the 1st. week of December.
Any info on the crowds and weather would be helpful.
Thanks.

Crowds should be low, particularly on weekdays. Weather is too hard to predict--pack a bit of everything and keep an eye on the weather channel as the trip draws close. Chances are it will be in the 60s or so, but could be warmer (70s up to the 90s even, though that's rare) or colder (generally 50s).

are they all up by the 1st week of Dec.? We are trying to find a good time to come back and get some use from our AP's. The kids say they would like to see the parks all ready for christmas, however....we had alot bigger crowds this past March than we had anticipated, so we would like to try our darndest to avoid them this time around!!!

Christmas starts early at DL--they're going up in October now. New Orleans Square in generally decorated sometime in Oct (to go with the HM Holiday) as are parts of DCA--they're all up by early Nov when the Christmas parade and fireworks start and IASW Holiday gets going. They used to wait until Thanksgiving day to start the Christmas stuff, but not anymore.
