Which park would you eliminate in December?

[Aljo]

Going for a quick trip December 7th as we have never been there at Christmas time....may not have time to do all 4 parks (we leave December 11) and we also want to experience MVMCP so if you had to eliminate one park which one would you eliminate? Which one feels the "least" "christmas like"?

I would probably skip Hollywood Studios. Not a lot to do there right now with so much construction going on.

That is a tough one. I woudl have a hard time eliminating DAK becuase it is lovely any time of year, and with Pandora opening, ROL, and the Tree Awakenings, I would want to be there at least in the evening.

I would probably avoid DHS this year. That is waht we did last year on a relatively short trip. We added DAK and skipped DHS.

We are going around that time & avoiding DHS.....just not a whole lot there to appeal to our toddlers right now.

Normally, I'd say DAK, but with Pandora opening, my vote switches to skipping HS. We have 5 Disney days coming up in November and we are skipping HS, even though we have hoppers. With so much closed, just not interested

I agree with skipping DHS unless you're huge Star Wars fans.

 

[Disneylover99]

I agree with others. Skip HS.

That's not true - very little is closed. However, without the Osborne Lights, there isn't anything Christmas related going on, so I would agree with the consensus to skip it for that reason.

I think this is true. I like DHS and generally spend at least one day there, but at this time, for a holiday centric trip, it leaves much to be desired. GIven a choice between DHS and DAK, I think that for now, DAK would offer more.

Last year I skipped Animal Kingdom. Honestly there has never been anything Christmas to AK in the same way there has been for the other 3 parks. I hope for a reworked Jingle Bell, Jingle Bam for Hollywood Studios this year.

But if you are up for it, I would hit a park for maybe 3 hours in the morning of your party day. I know it goes against a lot of the wisdom here but I did it last year during the Halloween season. Hit up AK in the morning, hit the highlights and had a great breakfast. Went back to the resort to enjoy the beautiful storm and hit up the party at night well rested and ready to go.

Hollywood Studios.

Obviously can't skip MK, and AK has the new Avatar Land and night time shows to experience. EP has the various Christmas celebrations for the different countries, candle light processional. Hence points towards HS to skip, like the others have stated.

Of course theres no Osborne's Lights. I'm not sure they're doing again but they had a Christmas comedy skit show at one of the theaters. It was awesome. There's giant Christmas trees at the entrances of Ea park. personally, HS is tough for me to skip because Toy Story is my fav, and Tower is up there. But yes, there is less to do there with construction. But maybe you could park hop and go there for a partial day. we often only went in to HS in am, then EP and mk as residents going on a Sat.

We rarely go to Animal Kingdom, but the new stuff has drawn us there.

Mostly we go to DHS. It's my favorite park, but that's the one I'd suggest skipping. Since they don't have Osborne Lights, or the Comedy Warehouse Chirstmas show anymore. There was the Christmas projection show which was cool. But it's skippable compared to Pandora.

 

[Aristo-cat]

Hollywood for sure. There is so much new at AK, I planned an extra day there and no HS.
We skipped it also on our last trip in April because we didn't have hoppers and it is in no way a full day park right now.
If you can pop in for a few hours here, that is all you need.
