How bad will it be Christmas week?

[toesmom]

Hi everyone!

I should preface this by saying that my husband, kids (17 and 15), and myself, are huge Disney fans. We've gone frequently with the kids and we are toying with the idea of going down next year on our breaks. I know that it'll be crowded and I know that it'll be expensive, but we don't celebrate Christmas but we all want to see the parks decorated. It's been a dream of mine for years and now that my kids are older, they want to too. My son will turn 19 while down there and we just think it would be a fun thing to do to celebrate. I told the family not to expect the same type of trip we have had other years. It may be slower paced, not as many big rides that we usually go on, and maybe more resort hopping. But be honest with me, what else can you tell me about Christmas week there? Thanks!

Very busy but fun. Christmas joy everywhere
Enjoy

The problem with LLMP (especially at HS) is that availability is tough even when not at max capacity, so you should really only count on whatever you can book at the start of your reservation window. MK has more rides, but even there multiple headliners may be a challenge if not booked well in advance. So it’s better than nothing, but I’m not sure how much better. Maybe save your money and focus on rope dropping and closing out the parks?

This is where one really starts to think about why Premier Pass exists.
