Hello, I will be in Orlando Dec23-30 with my parents early 50's, my little sister 7 and older brother 28. I am 25.

We have bought 5 days passes for disney.

We wanted to do MK and MGM Dec 24 and 25 as a familly. Our plan was to spend the 25th at MK and the 24th at MGM as we tought MK would be more special for x-mas day, however I saw postings that we should avoid MK on the 25th...please provide your suggestions.

Also, how do the fast passes work? We need to go get them for 1 particular ride once we get in the park? For which attraction should I get it for MGM? Disney? Where do I get these? Is there a cost?

Thanks for all your help!
 
I agree with cara76 - avoid MK unless you enjoy feeling like a sardine the entire day :crowded: , waiting in line forever, & dealing with people who have lost the christmas sprit. :mad: We will be there the 18-26 & are going to do either epcot or MGM that day w/ the Princess dinner at Epcot in the evening. My dtr is almost 4 & we went 2 years ago to MK on Xmas day & I have never seen so many people in my life!! They closed the gates by 10:30-11:00 because the park had reached capacity, she wouldn't ride in stroller (I think because of the number of people) so we carried her the whole time. We ended up leaving by noon & going elsewhere. The decorations will still be up while you're there & that's what makes it so enjoyable. Really, while you're there, it's almost like everyday is Christmas!! :cheer2:
 
A couple years ago we went to MGM on the 25th and it was extremely pleasant....almost empty early in the morning. It was pretty calm and not very busy all day. From what I hear, MK is another story altogether. I would go for MGM, unless you are prepared for wall to wall people. MK seems to always close to capacity on the 25th.
 

We just spent Thanksgiving Day at MGM and it was our best day of our whole trip. The Ozborn lights gave us the holiday feel for sure. :)
