We are trying to decide if we want to go back to DW the first part of November or December 17 - 22. When do the Christmas crowds starting to arrive?? :confused:
 
We are planning on being at WDW around the same time, from the 18th - 23rd or 24th. From what I've read, I expect crowds. But it shouldn't be the madness that the week after Christmas will be. :crowded:

I think it will definitely be more crowded before Christmas than the first part of November.
 
for the holiday. I still think December is the time to go because you can experience so much of the holiday activities which is my favorite part about Disney. All the resorts are ready by then with their decorations. What I do is make sure I do all the crowded activities before school is let out like MVMCP (never on a weekend), Candlelight Processional, parades and fireworks. When the crowds come I'll go where it should be the least crowded for the day like AK or MGM-Studios. I may consider MK or Epcot for park closing time and park hop at night on the bad days only because the other ones are closed. I feel you need to plan more and have a strategy when you go at this time in Dec. If the holidays don't thrill you then I would do early Nov. If you never saw the holiday time it would be a good time to do it in comparison to Christmas week, itself. And let us remember, any time at Disney is a good time.
 
It will be very crowded, but also very festive! For me, it was well worth the people to enjoy Christmas with the mouse! But next time I would head home by December 23, because that is when the crowds really begin to show up! If you have ever been in July, then you will know what to expect(we go every July). For me, December is the best time to go, so go and have a great time!
