1st week of Dec 2013...best crowds or worst?

[AwayWeGo]

Hi! We have scheduled our 4th trip to Disney and are planning a Christmas at Disney. We have decided on the 1st week of Dec due to many posts and blogs talking about how great the crowd levels are...and christmas decor to boot. However, in speaking on the phone with diff Cm's they all tell me that Dec is the busiest time of year...even those 1st two weeks. Hmmm, which is it? Super busy, or low crowds? Experienced Disney fanatics say low crowds and CMs say big crowds. I have looked at which days are the best to go to which parks, etc...but we are used to going in late Jan/early Feb when there is hardly anyone there...(but rides may be closed too due to refurbs)

We are also going the first week of December. Everything I have ever read has it listed as one of the top 2 weeks of the year to go based on crowd levels, the other being the week after Thanksgiving, so being that it IS the week after Thanksgiving this year, I'm hoping that means it should be GREAT!! We went last year the week after Thanksgiving and the crowds were wonderful. The weather was great, the decorations were amazing. Hence the reason we are going back again this year. I have always heard that after the first 2 weeks of December is when the crowds really start picking up.

Oh, that makes me feel sooo much better. I don't know why, but I always freak out when planning. Good luck on your trip!
