Realistic expectations for 12/26/-12/31

[tjmw2727]

Hi all

Last minute trip during Christmas Break, staying at Dolphin with an AP, dh has 2day ph left and dd's each have 4 days and a plus on a PHP.

I know the crowds will be out but I want a gauge, we have been in mid august, june, presidents day and during "jersey week". How do the crowds compare?

We have plans for a morning park, long pool breaks with dh and evening park, a day or two with no parks and nice dinners as a family and a water park.

My 2 dd's and I don't mind crowds and will do parks but my dh does not do well in crowds so he will only join us now and then. (This works out very well for our family and we spend lots of time together doing other things so no flames please).

I am hopeing that a morning at epcot with a long pool break and then an mgm evening will be workable for my dh. If it works well in the beginning of the week we will switch it toward the end with a morning at MGM and evening at Epcot. My dh really wants to ride MS and TT as well as RnRc and TOT with the kids. My youngest just hit the height requirement for RnRC and I got to share this with her already.

Please help me get prepared to help my wonderful but crowd phobic DH with this vacation he so generously planned for "us girls".

TIA
TJ

Tell him to bring several good books to read while standing in line.

We were there for this time last year...actually arrived on the 20th...as soon as the 25th arrived the parks were alot more crowded......The only park that was really really crowded was MK ...we did it in the morning and took a break then went back in the evening..but by evening almost all of the fastpass rides were gone...

Patience is the word of the weeek...
