Disneyworld christmas week help!

[MinnieMommyy8]

hello all we will be headed down to disney world on christmas week for the first time. We will be going to all 4 parks. My question is in what particular order should we visit the parks? Since it is christmas week are there particular events going on at the parks that anyone recommends. (Activities) I would appreciate the feedback from all those who have gone during the holidays! I have a soon to be 2 yr old in December as well. Also she is in love with The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse so i am looking for the restaurants with character meet and greet for these characters. Thank you!!

Crowds will be very high.

For Mickey and friends Character Meals, you want to look at
Chef Mickey's in the Contemporary Resort
Tusker House in Disney's Animal Kingdom
Garden Grill in The Land Pavilion in Epcot

Do you realize this is the single busiest week of the year? MK often closes to capacity mid morning for several hours. It is wall to wall (literally) people. Ride lines can be 90 minutes and more.
I would head over to easywdw.com and read the December recommendations there. Josh does a good job of recommendations.
Chef Mickey's restaurant in the CR has the Fab Five characters, if that is who you are looking for. It may be booked though, as ADR's can be made 180 days in advance and folks have been booking those restaurants since June.
I would try to plan which park which day ASAP and then look for restaurants right away. You may be out of luck for that week. Also check out the menus here on the DIS as well as at allears.net
Good Luck, I think you are going to need it.

I second easywdw.com. This will help you with which park to visit each day.

I have not been during Christmas week, but as PP said, it's very very busy.

Don't know exactly what you mean by "Christmas Week", but you might want to consider that various holiday features disappear at different times. For example, Santa doesn't appear in most places after 12/24, MK holiday parade runs until 12/30 or 12/31, then reverts to Festival of Fantasy, EPCOT storytellers and Candlelight Processional usually end on 12/30, Osborne lights usually are operating at least a few days into January. I'm not sure where you could find a schedule (perhaps another Disboard contributor could help).
