What is the week before Christmas like?

We are planning a 3 day trip to Disney World around the 18th of December. Will it be real crowded?

Thank you for your help.

I have a week planned around those dates, too. The estimated attendance figures from the Unofficial Guide has the crowd level at 5 or 6 up until December 24 when the numbers start to rise. The numbers are based on estimated time waits in line. The lowest figure in their chart is 4 which is pretty much all of the "slow" September month. The highest is 10, which is constant for the week between Christmas and New Years. I think we will probably be there at a good time, although nothing is certain!

Have a great trip!

YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!! The crowds are very managable at that time. We were there 12/14-21 last year & it was GREAT!!!! Just plan to be at your chosen park at opening & if staying onsite, use the evening EMH. We did not wait longer than 15 minutes to ride anything. We rode just about everything. We actually only used a Fastpass for Soarin. The crowds did get a little heavier each day, but it still was not very crowded. Our last day, the 21st, MK was hard to manage, but all the other parks were virtually empty. I guess everyone goes to MK first thing!!!
