Decorations are fantastic, Holiday Fireworks are the Best, Crowds are not that bad and Weather is tuf to call. Bring LAYERS, lots of LAYERS. Pack a knit hat or buy a disney Christmas one and pack a small pair of gloves - the evenings can get COLD. We've been there the past four years and its been anywhere from 80 degrees to 30 degrees (last year it snowed in northern florida in November)


Mom and Traveling Buddy will be there Dec 9 to the 15th at the Boardwalk

Son's Best friend and his family will be there Dec 9 to the 14th at the Beach Club

Us, family of 5, ranging in age from 47 to 16 will be at the Boardwalk with 15 of our closest friends Dec 30 to Jan 4

We were orig going to go in Oct. but I think we are moving it to the first week of Dec too. Not sure of the exact dates. I really want to see all the Christmas decorations!!!!

I have no idea what to expect as far as weather and crowds. Anyone else? The only other time I was there was in March and of course it was over spring break so there were crowds.

For us, you will have a great time and crowds will not be bad.Staying OKW this is our most favorite time of the year to visit.

We will be arriving 11/29 and leaving 12/3 (too short but it's hard to get time off!)... So long weekend.. but does that count as December or November?

We'll be there those exact same dates, at the WDW Dolphin - where are you staying?

This is our 2nd year in a row to go in early December. Last year the crowds were light (moderate on some days) and the weather varied greatly. The only ride we couldn't get on was Soarin - 2 hour waits which we weren't willing to do, and Fast Passes were gone by 10am. Some rides we walked on over & over with no line at all - Dinosaur, Indy Speedway, Buzz Lightyear, POTC. The only rides with waits over 20 min. that I remember (besides Soarin) were Test Track, Splash Mountain & BTMRR & EE. One day we had on short sleeves & shorts, the next day were were freezing in sweaters, jeans & our heavy coats from home (PA).

This is also our second year in a row going the same time as last year the second week in December. When we were there last year the weater was great. I wore capris and shortsleeves. A light weight jacket or sweater inthe morning and the rest of the day was no jacket or sweater it only rained on night and it was until 7 pm. It was however to cold for me to go in the water.
This year we are staying at Wildness lodge so I am looking forward to the hot tubs.
