Which park Xmas day?

We will be at WDW Dec 24 and 25 b4 the cruise. We've never been to Epcot. Which say should we go. Orig I thought xmas day but maybe it would be too crowded. They are 4 and 7? How will it be on the 24th? I'll go to MK on the other day. We were just there last FEb so its ok if they don't see everything. Or should I plan both days for Epcot? Thanks

With Kids that young I don't think they need 2 days at Epcot. I would do MK on christmas eve and Epcot on xmas. It's much easier to get into Epcot. It's so large it doesn't close because of capacity as quickly.

While all the parks will be crowded on 12/24, the next day will be worse. MK will be wall to wall people and will probably close to new guests by mid morning. Even if you get in you will not be able to get on many rides because of the crowds. Unless you just want to say you were in MK on Christmas I'd stay away from MK.

Epcot will probably be the least crowded (or at least able to handle the crowds better than the others). Many families stay away from Epcot because they don't think their kids will like it. Also, because it is a larger, more spread out park it seems to handle large crowds better. DW and I did Epcot on 12/25/03. We got there right at opening, used FP, went to WS by lunchtime, and realized we wouldn't be able to do everything that day. It was crowded but we got a lot accomplished and had a great time.

My vote is for Epcot.
