Dec.4-7 is that time usually busy?

[jazyjewel]

I am going again on Dec.4-7 and am wondering what the crowds will be like then. We usually go in Oct, nov and Feb, so are not sure about early Dec crowds. We went Christmas week last year and will never make that mistake again, and we were just there Oct 5-12 and that was very, very crowded also. I just want to prepare myself a little for it if it will be busy. Thanks in advance for any ifo.

Good plan. The park usually dies out between Thanksgiving and Christmas. There is usually a Thanksgiving rush and then the big crowds start back up the week before Christmas. The week you have picked is usually pretty slow. Definetly much slower than the weeks to follow. You should be fine

Not usually, the hustle and bustle from Thanksgiving is slowing down, and the pre Christmas rush hasn't started yet.

This will be my third trip in 4 years at that time and just love it.
(that's not to say i wouldn't love it at any other times)

This will be fifth year at that time, usually very low crowds. Though this year, hard to gauge, seems crowds are up overall, with promotions and all.

I went December 3-8 last year and encountered very light crowds. It's a great time of year to visit--I love going in December just before the Christmas rush starts (it seems to start around the 20 or 21).

Thank you all for your help. I was a little worried after how October turned out, so maybe this time will be better. Thanks again!!!

It's not busy at all...................EXCEPT if you're staying at one of the All-Stars. Disney usually has that Pop Warner football tournament, and the kids and their parents all stay at the All-Star resorts. They're all over the place.

I too am travelling that week. Last year crowds were very light. DONT expect that this year. I tried to add one night to the end of our vacation and everything is BOOKED SOLID.

We've gone around that time the past 5 years. Weekends tend to be crowded with locals but not that bad, they book up the resorts too. Saturday at MK is always a zoo.
