Christmas thru New Years

[emilysmom09]

Anyone know of any books (like unofficial guide, birnbaum's) that is specifically geared towards going the week between Christmas and New Years. I'm working on a "touring plan" and I'm sure it's different that week than what the books say.

Thanks for your help!!

I do not have this, but I have read on the boards that Tour Guide Mike has a specific plan for that week. I think his program is about $22.

We have been to WDW that week for the last 2 years and are returning this year. TipS: make all PS at 90 days for your sit-down restaurants(especially NYE_they will ask for CC#); be prepared for large crowds, especially MK for the whole time; FP will be used up earlier in the day than normal at all parks; MGM has always been very easy to tour with FPs; AK on EMH is really crazy, avoid it if possible FP for Kilamanjaro were all gone by 1pm; decide where you want to be for NYE and make plans accordingly-if its MK plan on getting there by 10am and staying there-it has been closed to all guests including resort guest by 10am and you can't get in if they are at max capacity even if you have a PS; MGM and Epcot are ok to park hop(2002-3 we started at MGM then hit Epcot at 4:30-2003-4, we stayed at MGM the whole time. All the parks have holiday special stuff going on-take advantage of them and enjoy the atmosphere. Don't think you can see it all..you will not be able to commando tour! Its a great time if you have the right attitude. Remember, you will be with alot of people!

When we go at xmas, as we are doing this year, we spend the day doing things outside the park, have an early dinner and then hit the parks after dinner since they are open late. Works for us and we get to see it all!

Connears or Sugarmouse,

Have either of you tried to do Trails End Buffeteria during xmas week? I'd love to try them but are nervous about potential crowds.
