Really the only one we're careful about is MK, we prefer to go there on party days even though it closes early since it tends to be a lot less crowded. Other than that we usually do more Epcot days when there are festivals to try all the food and see everything with the fest, so we'll be at Epcot a lot in December.

ETA - I noticed both your MK days are days of the Christmas party, so just in case you weren't aware, the park does close early to day guests those days, so if you wanted to see the fireworks from in the park you would need party tickets those nights.

I am anxiously waiting for the December park hours to be released. Why does WDW wait for the last possible second to release the schedule?

The hubby is happiest when he is well fed, and I am happiest at early entry with low crowds. So, we typically do brunch 3 hours after park opening. A girl needs to plan!

I agree!! We will be doing 4 parks in 3 days. I need to PLAN!!!

We will be there the same week! I am impatiently waiting for the official park hours to come out before I fully decide. But we are only doing 3 days at WDW and then 3 at Universal. Trying to plan and not knowing the hours of each day is killing me! LOL!

Yes, that's intentional---Last year we went to MVMCP party and had a great time, but this year we are doing Jollywood. I don't mind not seeing fireworks if it means less crowds and not standing in lines. We could go to Epcot for fireworks...maybe see them from the Beach Club.

Last year, I went one week earlier than this year's date, and I thought every park was crowded. I haven't decided yet, but I may cancel if I think it's going to be too crowded---just asking for ideas about which days to go to parks----I have a son in college and he doesn't get out for break until Dec. 12th.

LOL!! Our son is in College and doesn't get out till 13th! Too funny. Guess that's why we are going the same week. Wanted to get it in before Christmas!

Disney has the hours out up til Tuesday of our dates.......Most are 8:30 am - 9:00 am for Early Entry except AK is 7:30 am -8:00 am....I'm hoping the EE will change the closer to our dates......

Yes, same! We love doing late hours so I'm hoping there will be at least one night where a park stays open late. We are skipping both Jollywood & MVMCP.

Actually my hubby wanted to go over Christmas, Dec. 25th! I said are you Crazy?? LOL

 

[Blueyed Girl]

I can't imagine how busy it is on Christmas Day! But it would probably be fun to do it at least once.

I agree....I thought about it and then I recalled seeing all the 10's on the Touring Plan calendar and said "Wow! I miss the days of using fastpasses....so much easier to plan and was free!!

Oh wow, we will just be arriving when you are leaving. LOL

 

[FireflyFi]

Our very tentative itinerary.

12/21 Fly in around 10pm
12/22 Disney Springs (Jock Lindsay's) or maybe EPCOT for Candlelight Processional or mayyyyyybe Jollywood Nights
12/23 EPCOT
12/24 Animal Kingdom and (fingers crossed) Steakhouse '71 for dinner
12/25 Disney Springs (Raglan Road lunch) and then Geyser Point dinner / drinks
12/26 No plans
12/27 No plans
12/28 EPCOT
12/29 EPCOT
12/30 Fly out 7am

I'm planning on probably buying 4 day base tickets. If we find in the first few days that the crowds are manageable, I might extend our tickets and add a visit to MK. And I'll be keeping an eye on the weather to see if it might be worth stopping at a waterpark.
