I personally have not been to WDW at Christmas time, but from my knowledge of postings on the topic, here's want I can pass along. The period between Christmas and New Years is the single most busiest time at WDW. You'll probably witness the "explosion" of people first hand. Things should be pretty quiet when you arrive on the 18th. But when the schools let out for the holidays, the human waves will decend on Orlando. Our school lets out after the 19th. Others may not let out until a couple days later, but in looking at the calendar, the 19th is probably the most common date for the break.

I'd say that MK will probably be the most popular park on Christmas. Whatever park you plan on going to, be sure to get there early during the week of Christmas. They often have to close the parks to further admissions during this period once they reach capacity. MK is usually the one most likely to close, but it's not always the only one.
