What is the busy Pop Warner week?

[wiseguyslovethemouse]

Or days? I don't even know what this is, but I've read a little bit about early December, and we are not good with huge crowds! Can someone tell me what and when this is? I thought early Dec was a good time to go! We've always done Oct/Nov or Spring, but want to mix it up a bit this year.

Thanks!!

It is typically the first week in Dec. Touring plans dot com will have the dates. We were there in 2006 during the Pop time and really did not notice any increase in the crowds. We really enjoy that time of year. You may want to find out which hotels they will be in and avoid those resorts. I've heard the hotels can be a bit crazy with hundreds of teenage girls running around, but we were at SSR and never noticed a thing.

I just checked the dates - Dec. 7-13.

Thank you SO much! I don't know what to do now...my dd's birthday is the ninth, so we wanted to go either 4-11 or 8-13 or something like that, where her actual birthday falls during the trip, but not on a travel day...hmm....I wonder, do you think it would affect either the Poly or CR traffic?

Thanks again!

They mostly stay at value resorts, so deluxe resorts won't be effected. I've heard that they have more of an effect on park crowds towards the end of the competition, so the 4-11 dates would likely be better than 8-13.

Thank you so much! That's really helpful!

We have been that time and as long as you avoid the values and maybe the moderates you should be fine. Parks are really not too crowded, though we are Jan. people and did see a increase from that. Be sure you make ADR's ASAP but then you should be ok. The lines for the buses to the all stars and pop were unreal. We were at WL and had no issues.
