So the last week of November, first week of December the best time to go for lighter crowds?

 

[Tearbear]

I hope so. That's my plan.

The crowds in 2016 were insane. There really isn’t a “slow” time anymore.

We haven't booked yet, but we're already planning our December 6-9 trip. It'll be the first time in 21 years I've been to MVMCP, so I'm super excited! My brother and sis-in-law are coming with me, and they've never been to MVMCP or stayed at a deluxe (we're planning on AKL), so they'll have lots of firsts on this trip.

We are going on November 13th until the 21st and staying at Coronado Springs so close enough to Christmas time. Hoping F&W will still be going on and want to do the MVMCP as well. So excited!

Anyone else already booked their 2018 WDW Christmas vacation?

We did! We are renting DVC points for the very first time. Staying at the Boardwalk for the same price as it would cost us to stay at POR. Have annual passes now so tickets are paid for. Can't wait to stay at the Boardwalk. I just wish I loved Epcot more since it is a short walk but I can take the boat to Hollywood and Toy Story Land will be open!

Nothing will be nicer than the Hurricane crowd we had in September, It was awesome, sad about the Hurricane, but glad we had low crowds. So I have to keep that in mind for December, crowds will be way heavier than Sept... Just have to have more patience.... And hope all the rides work and are not down as much as they were in Sept....

Very similar to us. We are staying Dec 1-12 at AKL Logdge Kidani Village, and 12-15 at Royal Pacific for Universal Studios. We are also going to spend 1 day at Discovery Cove and 1 day at SeaWorld (which is free with the Discovery Cove purchase). Everything is all planned out as much as I can. Just waiting for 180 days

I think in either April or May.
