Least crowds Nov or Dec?

[mommyceratops]

So we are going to Disney but I can't decide when to go. I want to go when it is least crowded.

So is Novemeber 4th to18th better with Food and Wine and I think the soap thing?

Or

Dec 1 to 15th with POP?

I have small kids and just want to go at our pace and enjoy it, with no lines Ok small lines.

Thanks!

We have been going 1st week Nov for a few years and it seems there are more crowds than before. Not like summer but some 20-30 min waits. A year ago we went in Dec and it seemed about the same. If you want the park to yourself you need to go in Sept right after school starts and the place is vacant, no waits and a lot of the "fastpass machines" are closed. They just don't need them.

Thanks! I appreciate your tip. We have been debating about doing Sept one year just to see how empty it is.

We're kind of in the same boat. We're trying to decide if we should go the week after Thanksgiving or the 1st or 2nd week in Dec. We'll have a 5 or 6 month old with us (as well as our 5 and 8 y.o.) and would like to go any of those 3 weeks, preferbably whichever is least crowded!

We were just there from Dec 11th-15th and we waited no longer than 15 minutes and sometimes no wait at all for the rides....the crowds were not that bad but the parks closed early,around 8:00, with exception of Epcot open till 9:30 and also a couple of night were late night for the Resort guests..
The following weekend the park was going to be opened till 12:00 so that is when it was expected to be getting crowded again. I'm sure everyone was busy with last minute Christmas shopping on the dates that we were there and that is one reason it was not so busy, also because the parks closed so early.

We also did the MVMCP and that was at the MK till 12:00

I think it was a great time to go!!!and will do it again. We did not mind the parks closing early however because on the 16th we were also doing the 10 day Christmas cruise.
