Need help in deciding which week next Nov/Dec.

[kniquy]

We are trying to figure out which week (really 5 days) to go next year for the Christmas season. We have 51 remaining points to use for a studio - so we will book a AKV Jambo studio (have never stayed this side)

Right now our choices are:
Tues Nov 27-Saturday Dec 1st (50 points)
Mon Dec 3rd - Friday Dec 7 (44 points)
Mon Dec 10th -Friday Dec 14th (44 points)

I have heard that Pop Warner is there the first week of December, but i don't know how much of an impact that would have on any of our plans. From some crowd calendars it seems like the week right after thanksgiving has a slight advantage.

The focus of the trip will be for our DD5 first time for Christmas, we may want to attend a Christmas party but that is not a must do. We do want to attend the candlelight processional (it seems like it starts right after thanksgiving so we should be good with any week).

If you had to pick a week, which one would it be and why would you favor this week?

I have been there each of those weeks, and I cannot name a reason to favor one over the other. This year we were in WDW from December 1-11. It got quite cold, chilly ( I suppose it depends on where you are from) 9-11. I did want to go to the condo meeting. Next year it is on December 13if it makes a difference to you.

We will most likely pick 2-14 next year.

We were just there for the week 12/9/17-12/16/17 Crowds were low especially during the week but the weather was kind of chilly. I wore jeans and long sleeve all week. In Florida I want to wear shorts.

I was there Dec 4-12. It was crowded, even though I ropedropped and had good fastpasses. Don't expect the parks or resorts to be quiet. There is no slow time any more.

We were there 11/28-12/4. Weather was AMAZING. It was crowded though. I'd say the earlier the better.

I was just there the week after thanksgiving. We really enjoyed the great weather and did not have a bad time with crowds. We were able to accomplish everything we wanted very easily!

Same experience here! We checked in on the Saturday after Thanksgiving & stayed a week. Weather was wonderful & crowds very manageable. I’m sure you’ll have a fabulous time regardless

Be careful not to leave it too long as AKL has become very popular since Avatar
Book early!!!

We went dec 1-4 this year and found it much more crowded than we expected though I think the weekend played into that.

Next year we’re going Nov27-1, to try that out. Staying AKV as well
