How crowded is the week of Christmas?

[gatorchinsky]

We have never been to IOA/US during the week of Christmas, but are thinking about going for 2 nights beginning on Dec. 22 and leaving Christmas Eve. We will probably stay on-site because the prices are too good not to. With the FOTL passes, how bad would those 2 days be? Has anyone gone during that time of year or any real peak times and had FOTL? How long are the waits? We use to live in Orlando and had annual passes for many years, but we always avoided going during peak times. I would never even think about going to Disney during this time, but with FOTL, we might just think it is worth the crowds. Anyone else have any thoughts on this. Thanks.

You are getting out just before the crowds get insane! Even with the Express access, you will have about a 15 to 20 minute wait as the crowds will be thick but NOTHING like Christmas Day through New Year's Day.

are they that bad Christmas Day and the Day after? Express lines longer than 30 minutes?

Yes...the entire week following Christmas Day are insane. I don't think the Express lines will be longer than 30 minutes but be prepared for LONG lines everywhere.
