When is it not so busy in December

[jonkatony]

When are the crowds manageable in December. Thinking between thanks giving and Christmas Day.
We have been in August and Spring break and do not mind a lot of people but do not want to be overrun!
What's the weather like. We are just back and had 60's to 90's which was nice. I am assuming it won't be waterpark weather.

The week after Thanks Giving and the first two weeks of December are the least busy. It can be cold to very cold in the evenings. The day time temps generally pick up nicely but I still wouldn't jump in a swimming pool!!! You can get really hot days but its not often at that time of the year. Last year I really wish I'd taken my hat and gloves for the evening!!!

Thanks for coming back so promptly. Is December and the Christmas stuff fun? We have been to wdw nine times and Paris a few times. We have been to Disneyland Paris at Christmas and loved it. My wife would love it. I just wonder if another trip at Halloween might be better as you can get the hotter weather. That said I would love the Christmas atmosphere. Any opinions would be welcome.

I have been at Christmas and although I'm glad I did it once to see things like the Candlelight Processional, MK Xmas Party and Osborne Family Lights and Epcot Storytellers I won't ever feel the need to do it again I don't think. It was freezing cold for 6 of our 14 days. Just not what I want from a Florida holiday! To be fair that was unusual weather but I wouldn't risk it again. If you want to see the Christmas stuff I'd go as soon as it starts in November.

Hi we go every year for and as others have said the parks are ok up until Christmas week then manic but manageable.

Weather can be chilly early morning and late evening but in 3&half weeks last Christmas we only had one cold night, it's like any holiday there's nothing you can do about the weather

We honestly wouldn't go any any other time of year now

TBH we wouldn't go so late again it was just too cold. Our fav time of year is the beginning of November. Its still hot enough to go swimming and we generally don't need jackets in the evening either. MOST of the Christmas stuff is up and running by Thanks Giving (avoid that week) and its beautiful. This year we are back to the first 2 1/2 weeks of November and can't wait. Flights are also cheap then as well. I think we paid £430 in the January sale with VA (economy).
