Any chance left for first week of December?

I understand the first 2 weeks of December are really difficult to get due to the low points chart and decorations. However, I don't really hear much about the 3rd week of December which seems to be the same points. What are some reasons the 3rd week is not as popular, as it appears to have the same low points chart.

IIRC, the DVC AP is blocked out starting sometime the third week of December.

Sorcerer pass usually isn't blocked until the week that includes Christmas. This year, the blocked period is 12/21 (Sunday) - 1/1 (Thursday).

Wow…last year it started the 16th of December!

When my mom and I used to go, we liked the first week because it gave us time after we got home to get ready for Christmas.

Sorcerer blackout is 12/21 to 1/1 this year.

I see a lot of shuffling in December over past weekend (as I was stalking one day of the first week). Many days of December (e.g. second week, Chritmas week) opened up, and people picked a day or two in a couple hours.
Apparently, people start (late) planning after end of summer. So, there is still chance. Though, it would be really hard if you want a whole week. Also, now waitlist is faster than stalking when it's too casual...

I wonder if there’s a clump of cancellations at the start of school when parents/grandparents get schedules for things they might want to attend. Sports, band, choir, etc… my kids had many big events in December over the years.

If I ever get to be grandparent, I’d probably reschedule over finding out little Jimmy will be playing trumpet for 30 minutes in the Winter Concert
