We are going Dec 6-8 also. I was hoping for low crowds, but I don't think it will happen. First off it's a weekend and it's the Candle Light processional weekend. I don't know if there are any conventions in town, but I'm sure it will be busy. Only thing that makes it ok, is we will be back again in March for Saturday - Thursday so if DL is too busy in Dec, we will just meet the characters and see the sights.
It's going to be a long weekend for us since we are driving from Boise to spend one full day in the parks, but it will be worth it to see the Christmas decorations.
We will be staying at the Carousel Inn and Suites for Buy one night get one free 99.00 per night
