Mid-Dec. back from WDW

And all 4 main parks are just slammed with people. I remember when this was one of the least busy times of year, sigh. Going to have to re-think that. Strongly suggest arriving early, and having a good touring plan. Getting Fastpasses is a must.

Also of interest, we saw more uniformed security in the parks.

There really isn't too much of an off season there anymore. I wonder if the increase in security is just because there are more people attending or if it's something else. Would rather have them around just in case rather than not though.

I've noticed the increase in people there at that time over the last few years. Weekends are crazy there so I'm glad we had that as our second time to certain parks or we'd have had a horrible time. Fast passes were the only way to get on a ride without waiting an hour or more for almost everything after 11:30am! Even with that said, we had a great time

Yeah, I was wondering if this is just the current protocol for high crowds? Also noticed more adults with "travellers", especially in Epcot.
