Huge Question?? When To Go?

[denverdi]

HELLO EVERYONE.
SO DO WE LEAVE FOR FLORIDA DEC 31 - JAN 11 2004. WE WOULD LIKE TO GO TO KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, THEN MOVE OVER TO DISNEY WORLD AND UNIVERSAL STUDIOS. ALSO SEA WORLD. THERE WILL BE 4 OF US. DH 39, ME 37, DS 13, DD 11.
WE ARE TRYING TO GO WHEN THE CROWDS WILL BE LOW IN FLORIDA. AND TRYING TO NOT TAKE THE KIDS OUT OF SCHOOL FOR TOO LONG. AND AFTER CHRISTMAS WHO DOESN'T NEED A VACATION????
WOULD THERE BE A BETTER TIME TO GO ON THIS GREAT ADVENTURE? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

THANKS

I am personally partial to the Christmas season at WDW...it is just sooo much more festive.

Christmas at WDW is magical. We were in WDW Jan 2-5th of this year and while it was a bit crowded it was still alot of fun. After the first of the year the crowds should start to thin out.

Okay so I have another question. How bad is the week prior to Christmas??? Like from the 13- 23 of December. Again Thank you.

We've been there in that time frame and loved it. Of course, the closer you get to Christmas, the more the crowds pick up. Generally though, the largest crowds are between Christmas and New Year's.

You won't believe how gorgeous everything is with the Christmas decorations.

This is JMHO, but I'd do WDW first (if you decide on the 12/13 date). If you stay on-site at US/IOA, you'll be eligible for FOTL (front of the line) passes, so that mostly solves the crowd problem. Sea World only has a few attractions that are really impacted by crowds (Kraken, Jouney to Atlantis, and Wild Arctic, for example).

Have a great trip.
