Christmas or Spring Break

[BABY_EINSTEIN'S_MOM]

Can anyone give me some pros and cons of going to
Disney this Christmas instead of next spring break?
We have been during spring break, so I really wanted
to see Disney at Christmas but am debating it because
I know it can get chilly (no swimming for kids) and I
have been told about it being super crowded! I just
cannot seem to make this decision....help?

Christmas! It's absolutely beautiful! MGM is a can't miss. I would also suggest the MVMCP- it's a great parade, not to mention the lighter crowds that night. The hotel pools are heated, but still cold. My son went for a 10 minute swim and his lips were blue. You may look into staying somewhere with an indoor pool, or a hot tub to splash in. It really is worth seeing the world at Christmas. HTH PM me if you have any other questions.

We are also thinking of going around Christmas (actually right after Christmas, during New Year's ) The only reason I haven't booked yet is that i am worried about crowds. I really do not want to wait til spring break of 09--that seems so far away. I got a 40% off code but none of the weeks would work for us because I don't want to take my kids out of school. We usually drive down so we need about 10 to 12 days. I am also curious about what others have to say.

We've never done Christmas and have always wanted to do so. This past Christmas it was a choice of WDW or skiing in CO. I told my dh I thought I had more years left in my knees for walking around WDW than I have of skiing, so we did CO; but the next big Christmas trip is WDW, for sure!

We will be going this year just before Christmas, and I can't wait! My girls will only be 2 & 3 (almost 4), so I'm sure they would love to get in the pools, but if they don't get to, then it wont be the end of the world. Don't forget, weather is wierd, one day it can be in the 30's and the next in the 80's - ya never know!
