I can't answer your question . :guilty:

But are we invited we will be there the week before as well :woohoo:

Congats and have a wonderful day :bride: :smokin:
 
crowded the week before Christmas. Granted, it will not be as much of a mad house as the next week but every day will see the park getting more and more crowded. The parks are great at the holidays and you will have a blast.

Congrats!
 
We were there the week before xmas this past month and it wasn't to bad. Looking back, I don't recall having any complaints about the crowds. It did seem to get busier as each day got closer to xmas but definately manageable. Granted there were some rides we didn't ride cuz of the waits...Soarin had a 3 hr wait. Test track was about 90 mins. Every ride at MVMCP was basically a walk on. The avg wait I'd say for our entire trip maybe 30 minutes. Not to bad considering.
 

We were there from the 16th - the 21st of December this past season, I wouldn't go back again during that time. Too crowded for me. When we got there on Thurs. it wasn't bad, Friday got a bit busier but by Sat (an entire week before Xmas) it was way too busy for me.

We have the luxury of going a few times a year so we do prefer to go during off peak times. We usually go in early Dec. but this year decided to try later in the month but definitely prefer early December.

I guess it's all "relative" as far as when you can go and when you normally go on what you compare the crowds with, but for example after Friday we couldn't even get FPs to Soarin anytime of the day. Standby times were 3 hrs by noon.
