The park could definitely fill to capacity. I would plan to arrive to the parking garage at least one hour before park opening. Probably more like 90 minutes. That garage can get backed up as you know! That is a Saturday, which I believe is an Early Entry Day. Unless you are staying onsite (which I don't think you are) or have a park hopper with an EE attached to it, you won't be eligible for that. So by the time you get into the park, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland and therefore Nemo will have been open for an hour. So plan on having a long Nemo wait anyway you slice it. But it sounds like you have realistic expectations about what you want to do. It will be packed but there will be tons of entertainment, the hours will be long and I think you'll have a ball. Just don't leave the park, if you do you might not be able to get back in if it does fill. Good luck, I envy you!

It is not very likely that it will fill to capacity. Maybe during the week in between Christmas and NY, but not before. But it will be extremely crowded (even before you enter because of the EE PP mentioned). Nemo's line probably won't drop below 60-75 minutes all day. If you will only be there for a day, I highly recommend not riding Nemo. It's fun, but not worth a long line, especially when it's crowded and you only have limited time.

seriously, as long as i get fantasmic, splash mountain, and see the new pirates show im good. i just pray for no rain. that would make my disney day

* a blue bayou lunch would be sweet too , im guessing its too late to call for ressies, so could i run to blue bayou in the morning at park opening and make ressies? *

I would go ahead and call now for BB. If they don't have an opening, keep trying before your trip, cancellations do happen. If you don't manage to get a reservation, definitely drop in there at opening to see if the cm's at the podium can accomodate you. Good luck, I think you'll have a wonderful time!
