I'm going Nov. 30-Dec. 10, We go every year and the crowds arent bad at the beginning of the month. Definately do the party and go to EPCOT for the character experience. Watch for the double decker bus,Its best in Japan, all the characters are dressed in red and green and goofy is santa, its the best, and you dont need to be a kid to love that.Usually Minnie, Goofy, Stitch, Peter Pan, Pluto, Timon, Sooooo worth the wait in the line
