Christmas trip

[jziggy]

I know the week of Christmas is the busiest week to go, but due to a recent loss in the family we are going to try to make the most of Christmas.

This is our first trip. I already have the character dining scheduled and am planning to schedule the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.

Any advice to make the most of our trip with DD(7) and DD(4) will be greatly appreciated! Any ideas on things that are must see, must do, must register in advance?!

Thanks!

Make sure you've made your Advanced Dining Reservations....do a search on the Theme Park Strategies board for specific things to see and do at Christmas. They've talked about this quite a bit over there. Also wouldn't be a bad idea to get an Unofficial Guide for planning or signing up for Tour Guide Mike...or both...to help you plan.

Have fun!

We've been Christmas week (at the time, we had a 5 year old). It was very croweded, but we were still able to see and do everything we wanted to do. The main advice I can give you is to understand the FASTPASS system and use it as much as possible. And bring your patience, especially when you are trying to get thru the packed bottleneck of Fantasyland near Its A Small World.

Plan to take advantage of early morning entrance parks . Then you can get a lot done prior to the rest of the park opening. We always go early and then when it starts getting crowded we go back to the resort for a rest or swim and then go back out around 4, usually to a different park. Don't miss Fantasmic at MGM or the Christmas parade at MK.

Go and see the Santas from around the world in Epcot's world showcase. Making all your dining arrangements is a must! Counter service is really busy and I am sure having young, hungary kids is not going to be real fun! LOL!

That's probably the best suggestion for Christmas, but I would go take pictures in front of the Grand Flordian tree, too.
