what are the crowds like beg. of Dec?

[nettii]

How are the crowds first two weeks of Dec? We just got back and every thing I read said 1st two weeks of May were not very crowded but it was kinda crowded some rides were a 50 min wait. Weve gone in Jan and had 5 min wait times -Iknow I wont be able to top that but curiouse just the same!
Any hints or tips on the subject would be great too.
Also does the pass porter really help when it comes to navagating the crowds?

We went late Nov/early Dec. last year and crowds were not bad. The weather was fabulous!!! We use a touring plan from Tour Guide Mike. Rarely waited in any sustantial line. Never 50 minutes.

could you swim?

The Pop Warner kids are there the first of Dec. The wait times are about average. Nothing a quick as in your January visit, but not as bad as Spring Break.

I do not swim in Dec. I am from the South and I like it to be hot when I go swimming. I get cold easily.

Early December can be a great time to visit, although the weather can be iffy in terms of temps. We've been there at that time with gorgeous 70-degree weather and another occasion with temps barely reaching the 50's. Crowds are average; I think more folks realize it can be a good time to go if you want to avoid crowds and/or hot weather. Some rehabs take place then. You won't have the parks to yourselves, but it's not bad, IMHO.

We are from the South as well so swimming wasn't really great for us. We did try but it just was not warm enough. We ended up just letting the kids play in the sand and on the playground at the hotel instead.

They say the pools are heated and I'm sure they are but just not warm enough for my taste!
