What park on Christmas Day?

[tlshiley]

I've got a family reunion (11 people, ages 8-65) in Venice, FL from 12/24-12/30/06. We want to do 1 day in Orlando. What is the best day and what is the best park? Grandparents (60 & 65) have minor health issues.

Thanks in advance for your help.

On Christmas Day? Hands down I would pick.........Busch Gardens in Tampa. Been there done that. Get there early. Get family picture taken by the sleigh display. Make reservations for a sit down family dinner at the Crown Colony restaurant with tables overlooking the giraffes. The kids have the coasters, older set (like me) can take the leisurely walks through the animals, see the shows, and do the tamer stuff. They have a traditional Christmas show with some very good singers in one of the restaurants and we had the family meet up there for the last performance. I think everyone in the family really enjoyed the day and evening there. The park is decorated nicely and they even have the snow falling. For several nights around the News Year they have better fireworks than almost any of the parks-except for Wishes over the castle in the MK. I can't remember if there were fireworks on Christmas Night. We all manage in stores so don't get but 1 day off for Christmas so rather than spending the day cooking we try to get over to BG.

magic kingdom is beautiful during the holidays. The decorations through mainstreet are unbelievable.

... to each their own. I think WDW does all holidays best especially Halloween.

to Disney and I can't wait to get there. I have a 4 year old grandson that I love to watch his face especially when he saw Mickey Mouse and also the power rangers.I stood in line for hours to get the power rangers autographs and lost the autograph book.If anyone finds a autograph book please return it to guest raltions and when I get there I will check on it. I ended up buying time share in Disney and I am saving now to add on to it. I simply love Disney.
