Dec 3-9. My opinion it doesn't really affect the parks but do yourself a favor and don't stay at any of the All-Stars. Last year was a nightmare. It took over an hour to check in, I was given the last building (Country at Music) 3rd floor and 2nd to the last room. The only thing you could see off the walkway way further is trees and swamp land. I called and asked if anything else was available (told at front desk there wasn't) but when I called they moved me to Jazz. We did hear teams practicing cheers at 7am and all the back parking lots are all closed off because of the buses. But the parks were fine, we only noticed them at MGM.

Also we didn't eat at the Food Court or use Disney Buses.

Any one know when it is next year?

Looking at the calendar for 2007, my guess would be Dec. 2-8.

We went last year with Pop Warner and it really wasn't that crowded. My dd's are cheerleaders. I think it depends on the hotel. We stayed at POR. The food court was very crowded but the parks weren't too bad.

We are going next June and that will be way worse.

We were there in 2004 with Pop Warner and stayed at Pop Century. We checked in 3 days before them so check in was easy. They were around the pool and food court but wasn't real bad. Some of the girls included our girls in a game in the pool which was fun. They were really polite and nice. Most of the boys would hold a door for me or let my kids inline first if we got there at the same time. The parks weren't bad either except for the girls would do a cheer sometime while waiting in line, not too bad but by the end of the week it was old. Overall I would go again during this time again.

we were there last year during pop warner week and really didnt notice the kids and most parks. in fact we didnt see the kids til midweek and saw a few groups at MK. i heard that the all star resorts were a mad house. this was from a person who transfered from all stars to pop century. as long as you avoid all star rosrts you should be ok. large crowds om friday and saturday are normal.

Hope this helps!

Thanks everyone. We are checking out on Dec 2 next year. I was afraid it would be really crowded when we were there, but it looks like we will miss it.
