Tips to handle crowds during Christmas week?

[cheriesam]

We will be at The World from Christmas through New Years--a first for us--at the Wilderness Lodge! I assume the crowds will be heavy. Do any of you have tips for making a more smooth, enjoyable experience? We are too excited but are older and don't 'enjoy' getting up before 7am. We may just have to though!! Thanks for any help through suggestions!

We will also be visiting WDW over the Christmas holiday, from the 26 through Jan. 2. Since we have already been to WDW several times, we plan to just enjoy and not worry about the crowds. We plan to use the Fast pass on as many rides as we can, and if we don't make it on a ride due to the crowds than we will see it on our next visit. Make sure you make Dinner reservations for those hard to get restauants before you leave home.

We also read that the closer to New Year's Eve the more crowded the parks become, so we plan on visiting the parks early in the week. We plan to go into the parks three full days. Epcot, and Disney Studios for full days and AK and MK on the same day since MK will be open till midnight. The rest of the week we plan to relax and enjoy our trip without stress from fighting the crowds.

Enjoy your trip, Jean

Well, Jean, we'll be there at the same time, along with the other thousands of Mickey lovers! Thanks for the suggestions. We have plenty of priority seating arrangements but called too late to get breakfast at the castle. We'll just have to enjoy the Lodge if the crowds get to be too much. Hope you enjoy your trip too!
