Crowded Dec 15-24?

[jramsey392001]

When does Disney start getting crowded at Christmastime? I'm planning 3-4 days at the parks and then 3-4 days cruising at Christmas 2007, and I can't decide if I want to cruise for 4 days(15th-20th) and do the parks the 21-23rd, or if I should visit the parks the 15th-20th and then just cruise for 3 days the 20th-23rd. I really want to see Disney all decked out for Christmas, but I REALLY don't want to fight the crowds the whole time either. Part of me wants to cruise for 4 days because it seems like a better value....I'm making myself crazy thinking about this!

Parks first, cruise second would be my vote if you want to do the rides. if you're content walking around, doing a few rides, and enjoying the christmas scenery, parades, and shows, then reverse that.

The parks will be slightly less crowded from the 15-20. You will notice more and more people arrive the closer it gets to the 25th. However, with the right touring plan, you can still get around the crowds. We noticed the biggest difference in crowds from the 26th-31. You have a tough decision because I would want to cruise for four days, but it's tempting to beat the biggest crowds by doing the parks first. Now I haven't helped at all, have I?

Well at least I know someone else thinks like me!

I 'm just afraid I will wait too long to decide and I won't get a decent stateroom, or the price will go up really high or something.

I've alway heard that crowds are low in December...I guess that applies only to the first couple of weeks then?

Me if it were me and it is not because DH really does't like to be off land. I would do disney first it is decked out the whole month awsome. Then I would cruise either way you will have a great time.
