What are the resorts like before xmas, like 12/21 - 12/24 is it insanely crowded? THX

Thanks. Thinking about planning a pre-holiday trip to take advantage of APs

It depends on the year. This year Christmas is on Sunday, so the crowds will be huge on the 24th and 25th, but the 21st-23rd should be quiet. I love going to WDW at Christmas, but I wouldn't go to the parks on the 24th or after. When it's that crowded it isn't even fun.

Resorts are fine, parks are very crowded. We retreated to the resorts from the parks.

Don't know if you have school age children that you are planning around or if you want to be there on Christmas day, but if you can avoid those times the the prime time would be to go either of the first two weeks of December when you can actually enjoy all of the Christmas celebrations without being tied to the crowds of the ACTUAL Christmas week. Everything is decorated for Christmas from about Thanksgiving on and you can see everything then, Hope this helps!
