Pop Warner Week

[swiss family robinso]

Help! What can you tell me about Pop Warner Week?
We are planning a Dec. 7-13 trip and are worried about
the PWW. How does it affect the parks and on-property lodging?
Would you steer clear or embrace 400 cheerleading clubs
and 64 football teams?

It's not so bad!

Last year we were at Disney 11/26 - 12/5 and the parks were nearly empty until around the 3rd when the PW kids started coming. They added to the crowdless crowd but it wasn't anything horrendous. Let's say as an example of ride wait times, for Space Mountain the wait went from 20 minutes to 35 minutes once the kids came....so nothing too bad.

We stayed at POFQ and there were a lot of them in the building across from ours. We saw them but we didn't hear them! I will say the only real annoyance was in the morning at the food court, the kids were unnecessarily rowdy there. From what I understand they also stay at the All Stars and Pop, but I don't know about noise level or anything. I wouldn't embrace 'em, but none of it was really a problem at all, most of them were pretty well behaved which I was surprised about! Also a lot of their day is spent practicing in tents near the resorts so they're not in the parks all the time.
