Magic Kingdom days Dec. 17-22...I need help choosing!

[W0229064]

We have three days to spend at Magic Kingdom. We will be with my 9 mo, 2 yr. old and 4 yr. old. I want to get the most from our days in MK while being reasonable that they are young and we will have to take breaks.

We plan to be there on the 17th and the 21st (we have CRT reservation and BOG res), but after that, I'm having trouble deciding between going on a Christmas party day or waiting and going later in the week when the hours are extended.

Are the crowds THAT bad on the 20th or 22nd? Would I save time and sanity by planning to go on the 18th or 19th?

Thanks!

Definitely go on a MVMCP day. The crowds are sparser because of the short hours.

Thanks! I've been thinking that...but it is so hard to give up those late hours...even though I doubt we will be using them!

omg we are going 17th-21st!! too where are y'all staying we only really have one day and are choosing the 20th to get extra magic hours till 3am the 21st!!

ok so the days of christmas party are very short if you don't have the tickets to the event. however the christmas party is totally worth every penny if you can afford it its the best event of the year! but it usually ends the park day around 5 pm

I'm praying crowds won't be that bad but the later it gets during the night the more it will thin out. right now I've gotten mixed reviews on crowd levels between 5-7 out of 10 which says there will be crowds 5 being slightly above average 7 being might get frustrating
