Our family was there that time and it was hardly crowded! The only ride we waited for was Space Mountain and that was because they only had half of the coasters running. We walked on everything else! It was great. I don't think I could ever go back during the summer or during Easter Break. I don't think I could stand the crowds! Going right before Christmas is always a plus too. ;)
 
We were there 12/14 thru 12/23. It was great! We went to MK on the 15th (Sunday) and it was empty. I have a picture of DH and DS on Splash and they are the only ones in the log and that was just before lunch. We've been at almost every other time of year and this was by far our best trip. The weather was a bit cool (but anything was better than New England).

We're planning to spend the week before and Christmas week there in 2004. (My parents would freak if we weren't home this year either);) So I guess it will be every other year.
 
I was there December 11th through the 18th, and the crowds really weren't that bad at all. The only lines longer than 10 minutes that we ran into were for Test Track and the Rock 'N' Roller Coaster.

We road on Splash Mountain (my favorite ride) at least 10 times during the trip. Twice we road on it three times without getting out of the log. One of the cast members said, "You must be from up north. Only northeners will ride on Splash Mountain when it's this cold." We were having such a blast on Splash Mountain that one of the cast members gave me four passes good for three people to get on Splash Mountain without waiting next time I go to Disney World (those will come in very handy when I'm there in August).

If you road with someone who sings and claps along during the ride, and puts my arms up and "woos" for every single drop (even the little two foot ones), you probably road on it with me.

We were there too! Dec. 13-19, lines were very low. We did see some crowds in AK and MK, but they seemed to have very young kids, and weren't really making any lines longer! We did notice that people weren't using Fastpass - on RNRC and Test Track, the standby line was 40 minutes, and the Fastpass return time was only 25 minutes away - why would you wait in line?? This was on the weekend, which was the only time we saw crowds.
