Need your input for Christmas

[ValDisney]

Hi.. Another question for you all. I really appreciate all the advice you've given me so far.
I'll be in WDW dec 23-26(be the cruise). How do you think MGM will be on Dec 25? It is on a Sat this yr. We have been there before, so I want to see Osborne lights and walk around. I would get there in the am. Maybe spend the rest of the day at the resort and have dinner at one of them. What do you think. Will MGM be a bad choice for that day. Thanks again.

Hello!
I was at MGM on the 25th of this past December. Although it wasn't as crowded as MK on the 26th, it was CROWDED. I don't recall having to wait very long in any lines, because we used the FP's. Would the crowds deter me from going back on the 25th this December? Absolutely not! It was a magical Christmas day in MGM. I too would like to see the Osbourne lights, as they were not there last Dec. I think you'll be okay as long as you go knowing the streets will be very crowded and you must use FP to avoid lines. Although crowds don't tend to bother me that much! LOL.

Thanks for answering. Just another question. How will Animal Kingdom be on that day. Basically.. i know when to go to MK and epcot so i have to figure out when to go to MGM and Aninmal Kingdom. The 2 days I have open are the 25th and 31st. Any advice will be apreciated. I also want to go to the breakg\fast with Donald and friends in Animal Kingdom.
Thank you again.

I'd suggest you do MGM on the 25th and AK on the 31st. Both of those days are extra magic hour days for those parks. That will get you in an hour early in each place.

We were at WDW last Christmas and you are right to avoid the MK on Christmas itself if you have an alternative.

I know this isn't Christmas, but we were in MGM on Easter morning and it was really, really quiet. The CM's were saying it was dead. We walked on TOT, Rock n Roller, space tours etc... It was a really nice way to spend the morning... Maybe it will be the same for Christmas... Please let us know as we are going for Christmas 2005...
