New to Disney on Dec(12/26-12/29) what to do?

[MiamiBelle]

Hi All,

I am new to Disney in December. I am a FL resident and can you believe I have never been to Dis in Dec.

I really wanted to take my 2 yr old to the MMVCP but of course... being a newbie as I am.. I booked 3 days at POP... I booked AFTER THE PARTY WAS OVER. Being that the party's last day is the 21st... Now I have no idea what to see. I really wanted to see snow.

I have booked dining, but now I see that I may need to tweak that to accomidate to where we go.


Please can anyone tell me where we can go to see an event where possibly there is snow. Or.. what events would be nice to see? We will be there 12/26 thru 12/28

Hi and first off WELCOME TO THE DIS
Glad your here!!!!!!!

I think the best place to get answers to your question would most likely be
Theme Parks Attractions and Strategies board

I second that WELCOME!!!

Not to be a party pooper, but I think you need to read this thread so you can manage your expectations. You are going at the absolute busiest time of the year. "Busy" doesn't begin to explain how crowded it will be:

You can still visit the Osborne Lights at MGM and see snow there See link below.

Hey Bob and to everyone thank you for the welcome. Yes I know it's a busy time. I actually thought... well christmas time, and most people will be home opening gifts etc.

Guess not! I can deal with the busy... as long as we have cool weather and we are staying on property for 3 days. We plan to take our time and just get away. Hoping we can see some nice stuff. We went in march and it was HOT.

I will pray for mid 70's.

Welcome to the DIS boards!

Don't worry too much about the crowds at WDW. Yes, it will be crowded, but hey, you get to spend Christmas with Mickey! If you're able to get to the parks before they open, you should be able to ride a lot of rides before it starts to get really crowded. Have a great time on your trip!

I sure hope so. Thanks for the tips.
