Dec 5th and 6th

[Keacc]

I was looking at "Dad's crowd calendar for Dec 2nd - 8th. It is forecasting heavy crowds for the 5th and 6th and moderate crowds all the other days. Is there something special happening the 5th and 6th?

Don't put much into crowd calendars these days

I think he takes takes out either his low crowd/high crowd stamp, gets his calendar, closes his eyes, does "eeny meeny miny mo", and sticks it where ever it lands.

I'll be there from the first thru the 8th for Pop Warner. Maybe that's why?

crowd calendars don't work anymore.

Basically everyone knows about them now and as such they try to plan around low crowd days.

when everyone does this, the park ends up packed.

i planned a trip in early march when the calendar was low before spring break. park was just about as crowded as i've ever seen. over 60 minute wait for jsut about everything.

Parade taping maybe?

Parade taping maybe?

I hope not. The 6th is my MK day and I wanted to avoid the parade taping like the plague.

What did the calendars say compared to how it was?

Everything is crowded always. Just plan for it.

If it's for MK, non party days are always very crowded.

I'm looking at Touring Plans, they have the 5th and 6th as a 4.

It's right around the annual DVC meeting too I believe...I don't know how much impact that may have on the park crowds

December 4 at night is DVC's Moonlight Magic event at EPCOT.

 

[WEDWDW]

It should be because Fans are flocking to WDW to celebrate the birth of the man without whom,there would be no WDW or any Disney park for that matter.

But,alas,his Birthday always goes largely unnoticed at WDW.

These dates are also in the middle of Pop Warner and Dance and Cheer Championships (12/2 - 12/10 - I only know start and end dates, I haven't researched any further)

Oh no - could someone please explain what this is? - and what effect it will have on the parks that day - I'm right in the middle of planning for that weekend

We have a trip that week as well; from my understanding from the Disney website as well as the boards, this event is "after hours", with the few that happened earlier this year, being 10pm to 1am. So it shouldn't affect planning since the park would be closed anyways, at least that's what it seems like (and what we are hoping!).
