Just got back: Dec. 13-21

[CTDisneyfan816]

Had a great time despite Pirates and Splash Mountain being closed the entire time I was there on Friday (though did ride on Sunday). One lesson learned is to go a week earlier. I stay away from all holidays and the crowds and I think the Christmas crowds arrived Saturday as the last two days it was a madhouse. And the first seven days I honestly saw little difference from when I was there in late July crowdwise. Split my time between Disney and Universal. At Universal I sprung for the express pass which for me was well worth it. Probably going back again in March.
