Christmas

[drp47]

My family will be on a cruise in Florida at Christmas, and will end up having two days in Orlando, Dec 28 and 29. I would appreciate our opinion on what parks you would visit on those days, bearing in mind that we would like to avoid too many crowds, if possible.

Well, I doubt that there's a chance that you're going to be able to avoid crowds. That's the most crowded week at WDW all year. However, the parks do have extended hours and with fastpass it is possible to fit a fair amount in.

Personally, I'd probably hit MK using fastpass as much as possible and Epcot because it's the largest of the parks and is the easiest to navigate with large crowds.

Large crowds and I think Epcot handles huge crowds best,that said I would still go to Magic Kingdom thats where I feel the magic of Disney the most.

I think you will encounter crowds everywhere but go early...It wasn't too bad last year! Don't miss the XMas decorations and lights at MGM!

The ideal situation would be to stay on site, and go early!! I stayed offsite right after Christmas, and we couldn't get into MK on two days. Plus you're stuck in traffic so much. I personally would do MK and MGM if I only had two days, but it might depend on the ages of the kids. I love Epcot too. It doesn't have the theme park feel of the other parks, which is great when you have a longer stay at WDW but maybe not for a two-day trip.
