Disney parks the week after Christmas.

[geppettoman]

I am going the week after Christmas and New Year’s Day. Will the parks have the Christmas lights, Christmas parades, Christmas firework shows, and Christmas characters. Will it snow at night and all of the other pre Christmas activities. Thanks in advance but I can not find dates on this anywhere.

Please help.

Yes. All Christmas will still be in full swing.

BTW, you will be at WDW at what is traditionally THE busiest week of the year.

How busy will it be? Will I be able to get in the parks or will they be shut down to enter. How much longer will ride waits be

IF there is a shut-down, it will be for guests who are not staying at a WDW resort, or who do not have Dining Reservations in that park, or do not have an AP.

IF there is a shut-down, it would likely only be MK, or (much less likely) DHS or DAK.

IF there is a shut-down, it would not happen until after about 10AM on that shut-down day.

Ride-waits will generally be the longest of the year.
Figure between 2-4 times longer than "normal."

It's the absolute busiest week of the year. Plan on long lines for everything (including the bathrooms.)
