We are going Dec 13-21 and don't expect it to get too crowded until the day we leave, just like last year. We Dec 3-10, 2006 and found it to be more crowded.
We always go the 26th until the 4th of Jan. It is busy these times and alot of fun. People decorate and the weather is great. You just have to make your ressies a year in advance to get in at that time.
I am going Nov6-13th. Have always had really good luck with crowds and weather at that time of year, so I will keep my fingers crossed that it continues.
Going to POP Dec 3-14 this year. Went last year around that time and lines were very managable when we encountered them. Weather does vary. You would need to be prepared for all types of weather during that time.
We just booked 11/28-12/06. We went last year during Dec and it wasn't that bad, about along the Lives of the May crowds or a little less. The only night that was crazy, was the MVMCP night offering teh DVC/AP discounts.
I am going both
We preplanned a trip Nov 5th - Nov 11
Now my extended family all want to go for Christmas so going Dec 23rd- Jan
2nd
We are AP holders so I said let't go for it! WDW back to back!
We're going the week of thanksgiving also. This will be our fourth time during that week. The beginning of the week is not as bad as Wed, Thurs, and Fri when we've overheard CMs say that the parks are at max capacity.
Hey,
You guys going Thanksgiving week, let us know how the crowds are when you get back. we are planning on going in 2009 and this is a possible time for us to go.
Thanks!
Up until 2007 we always went over/during Thanksgiving.... with the last years gaining in popularity and crowd size. I can't say that it was ever at capactiy... capacity is like at Christmas time ... when they actually close parks down due to crowd levels... but busy, with lines for rides.
In 2007 we swtiched and went the 2nd week of December it was GREAT . So great that we are going Dec 6-14th this year ... instead of at Thanksgiving time. Crowd levels are great (low) but still get great Christmas themeing !
The 2nd week of December is when we will continue to go in the future as well-- unless people start catching on to that too and going then! :
