anyone else ever arrive on Dec 26??

I am wondering what it will be like arriving the day after Christmas? I have a Land and Sea package and am adding 2 nights on to the end of it as well. I get a 4 day ticket with it.

Do you think check in lines will be huge? Security lines? Will all the parks be at capacity? Just trying to get a feel. Thanks!

Well, I know that MK usually fills to capacity early on Christmas Day. It will be very crowded, check in on that day might not be as bad though. I would think that most people that go fo Christmas check in a day or two before Christmas, not after. Resorts will probably be booked solid, especially with the trends this year. The parks will be crowded all week as it is the busiest week of the year. Take time to enjoy yourself and do some resort hopping to see all the wonderful decorations and have a Merry time!

We arrived at the MK on 12/26/04 just as the afternoon parade was beginning. We snagged a seat on the sidewalk and watched the parade first thing, and then much to our delight, the park began emptying out! Of course, the temperature was about 45F and we had on ski jackets, gloves, and scarves, but we were glad to make the sacrifice in order to have short waits on nearly all the rides. (Let me add, that was the only time during the week from 12/26-1/1 that we saw anything close to short lines!) Also, we went to the Candlelight Processional at Epcot that night and got relatively good seats. Again, it was quite cold for Florida, but we were prepared since we had driven down from a colder climate. A cup of hot chocolate and a great show was all it took to warm us up.
