In-laws tried to make ressies for POP 12/1 -12/4, but they are full as is one of the other Values. What do you think this means as far as crowds in the parks go?
I used to go the first week of December and noticed that crowds seem to be increasing year after year even though this is supposed to be the slowest time of the year. Also some of the crowds could be coming ahead of time for Mousefest events and as above poster stated some people rescheduled due to Hurricanes.
Weekend nights in early December are usually heavily booked, probably due to people who live close coming in. Dec 3 is Friday and Dec 4 is Saturday. We usually arrive on the first Saturday and Epcot is crowded at night for CP. The weekdays usually aren't bad.
This is the weekend that POP Warner Football and Cheerleaders start to check in for their competition. They probably have most of the All Stars booked up and are overflowing to Port Orleans Riverside. That left only the POP for "regular" disney goers to use ... and thus the reason why it is probably booked.
You can keep trying back and may get a cancellation. But weekends in December are always pretty packed at the parks due to local Floridians staying overnight and coming to see Christmas decorations as well as attending MVMCP.
