Crowds in late December

[CampingMakesMeHappy]

Hello everyone I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!! I wanted to check to see if anyone can tell me what the crowds are like during the last week of December. I have been to FW twice now and both times have been in between May to August. I was shooting for a December date this time because it will be way cooler than August and I was hoping the crowds would be just a little bit lighter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've never been to WDW so I am probably not the best person to answer this, but didn't want your replies to hang around at 0 any longer.

From what I hear, the last week of december is pretty much always packed! Hope that helps.

What are your other options?

Simply put, it's the busiest, most crowded time of the year (between Christmas and New Years). On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst, it is a 10+. Only the second week of April (most commonly spring break) is as bad. The week before Christmas is much less crowded if you can get there then.

Just got back and the crowds were crazy. The last week of Dec is the busiest of the year. If you would like to see all the Disney has to offer for the holidays with out the crowds I would say go either the 1st or 2nd week of Dec.

We normally always go the end of June, early July and decided to try Christmas this year. We went a couple of weeks ago and stayed from Dec. 18 ~ 26th. We LOVED it and are now planning another Christmas WDW vacation! I found it to be less crowded then the summer and since it was not soo hot, we all had MUCH more energy to last lnger through the day/nights at the parks.
The only day that I would NEVER go to the parks again on, would be Christmas Day! It was crazy!!!!!!!!!! Most were at capacity by 11:00am, we ended up just going back to the resort, they had some activites through~out the day and the kids had fun swimming
