December 2024 at Disney World: Crowd Calendar & Info
This guide to December 2024 at Walt Disney World offers a free crowd calendar, tips for when to visit & avoid, weather, new attraction openings & closures, Christmas info, and more. We cover what’s happening at Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios.
Expect more of the same in December, and it continues the 3-month trend beginning in October and continuing in November. Attendance will remain elevated across the board as compared to normal to due it being the heart of holiday season. Christmas draws crowds, and even the less busy days during this season are worse than any other time of year.
With that said, early December will remain a good time to visit thanks to weather that is typically good (albeit cold at times), with crowds that are normally moderate. It’s also the best month of the year in terms of seasonal events. That basically “just” means Christmas, but Walt Disney World really does the holiday season right. There’s a ton going on at Walt Disney World in December, with festivals at Epcot, Christmas offerings in the other three parks, Disney Springs, resort hotels, and more.
In case it’s not obvious, we’re big fans of Walt Disney World at Christmas. This is reflected in December ranking highly on our 2024 Best & Worst Months to Visit Walt Disney World. As discussed there, December also has our favorite week of the year, too! For years, we always made a point of an annual Christmas trip to Walt Disney World, and pretty much took it at the same time every year. As we see it, this is the sweet spot in terms of weather, crowds, special events, and more. We’ll cover that in the sections below.
With that said, one thing we do want to note up front is that although we love early December and the holiday season as a whole, the month has gotten progressively busier in the last several years. It’s a subjectively great time to visit, but there are few–if any–truly “low” crowd level days. However, it’s still possible to beat the crowds by utilizing Genie+ and Lightning Lanes, Early Entry, Extended Evening Hours, and other savvy strategy. We cover the best & worst approach for each park in Best Time-Saving Strategies for Walt Disney World.
Let’s take a look at what is going on at Walt Disney World in December, and how you can make the most of your holiday-time visit…
December Weather at Disney World
Weather at Walt Disney World in December is dicey. If you just go by historical averages, it looks like nice weather in the mid-50s to low-70s. The thing is, these are averages. In reality, the weather you experience likely won’t be a historical average. Packing this time of year is difficult, because you might experience weather in the 80s or you might have a cold front with frosty mornings.
The potential for cold weather closes water parks for the winter, and in extreme circumstances, can cause flower beds and topiaries in the parks to be covered with plastic tarps to protect them (we’ve seen it happen!). Pack for a wide range of weather conditions and pay watch the extended forecast before your trip.
During our late-November/early-December trip a few years ago, I packed all shorts and polos and we unexpectedly had lows in the 30s and highs in the 50s. As a result, I had to purchase new outfits from The Emporium, which wasn’t exactly cheap…and I was still cold! In fairness, this was an unseasonable cold front that hadn’t been experienced in years, but you’ve been warned! 😉 Check out our Winter Packing Tips for Disney post for more insight on what to take on your trip.
December Special Events at WDW
I’ll admit that I’m biased when it comes to December. For me, nothing else that Walt Disney World does in terms of seasonal offerings compares to the Christmas season. Sure, Halloween is nice and the other seasons have their appeal, but nothing compares to Christmas.
Walt Disney World does a lot for the holiday season, and comprehensively looking at each of these things is beyond the scope of this post. Suffice to say, it’s a great time to visit if you want to get in the Christmas spirit.
Consequently, I’m going to keep this section short–if you want our comprehensive reviews, tips, tricks, etc., for Christmas, check out our Ultimate Walt Disney World Christmas Guide. That guide covers Christmas entertainment you can expect at Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
The highlight of the holiday season is Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (MVMCP), a hard ticket event with a ton of dates in December. Even if you don’t attend, the event will still impact your trip because Magic Kingdom opens and closes earlier on Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party days.
As explained below, MVMCP causes roller coaster crowd conditions in the park that might seem counterintuitive. One of the best things you can do when planning is working around those events, as that’ll save you more time than anything else.
In addition to this, there are a few events on the ESPN Wide World of Sports December Calendar, of which you should be aware. These are the types of youth events that only really are a draw for parents with kids participating in them, but we’ll also cover them in our December crowd calendar section below.
DECEMBER REFURBISHMENTS & NEW ATTRACTIONS
For December closures, consult our Walt Disney World Refurbishment Calendar. Not much is listed as happening right now, but that’s a bit deceptive. There’s a lot of ongoing construction throughout Walt Disney World, beyond the scope of attraction closures.
The only major closure currently scheduled in the second half of 2024 is Splash Mountain…maybe. That ride is being reimagined into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. The new attraction will bring guests into the world of “The Princess and the Frog” after the events of the movie. According to Disney, the reimagined ride will open at Magic Kingdom in Florida and Disneyland in California in late 2024.
While there have been recent rumors suggesting it’ll open as early as Summer 2024, we’ve seen this movie before. Meaning that there have previously been rumors of a project being ahead of schedule…only to have it debut late. Back in 2019, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance was on track to open in October…until it wasn’t, and debuted in December. In other words, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure could open in June…but it also could face unforeseen challenges and slip into 2025.
Then there’s the biggest addition to Magic Kingdom: TRON Lightcycle Run. This is the newest major attraction at Walt Disney World, having officially opened in April. This works very similarly to Cosmic Rewind; see our Virtual Queue Strategy Guide for TRON Lightcycle Run for details, tips & tricks for success, and more.
Bouncing back to EPCOT, there’s a bunch of other new stuff there. This includes World Celebration, CommuniCore Hall, Moana’s Journey of Water, and Luminous: Symphony of Us, all of which will only be around one year old as of December 2024. That’s still pretty new in the grand scheme of things!
Other minor additions, including restaurants and more, have also debuted this year–with more on the horizon. See What’s New & Next at Walt Disney World in 2024 & Beyond. There’s also probably stuff about which we don’t yet know. Our expectation here is that Walt Disney World launches a promotional celebration or marketing campaign at some point in 2024, and that includes new entertainment. Our hope is that this means a new parade (day or night) and something at Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, but we shall see!
December 2024 Crowd Calendar for Disney World
We don’t have a color-coded December crowd calendar for Walt Disney World at the top of this section because it wouldn’t tell the full story of attendance trends. If you spend the ~5 minutes reading this section from beginning to end, you’ll be far better prepared to avoid the worst of December crowds (depending upon when within the month you visit).
Crowd calendars are less reliable due to how Walt Disney World manipulates attendance patterns, staffing, closures, and ride capacity. Since Disney doesn’t release official attendance numbers, crowd calendars use school schedules, airport traffic statistics, hotel pricing & occupancy, etc., as proxies for crowds. This approach worked and made crowd calendars reliable for years.
This is doubly true for this December, as the reopening and capacity restrictions have thrown another monkey wrench into things. We can still forecast general trends, but that’s about it. With all of that in mind, here are our crowd calendar predictions for the best and worst weeks at Walt Disney World in December…
The beginning of December 2024 is our #1 week of the entire year to visit Walt Disney World. On the crowd calendar, this will be the week for the lowest crowds of the month, and is unquestionably the best week of December to visit. The dates we recommend are November 30 (arrival) to December 8, 2024. The beginning is immediately after Thanksgiving, but crowds fall fast after the holiday as people there for that week head home.
Keep in mind that “lowest” is a relative term. The holiday season as a whole is busy, and three month stretch from October to December has some of the worst weeks of the entire year. Christmas is a popular time of year in the parks–and for good reason–if you want to visit during this time of year, you can avoid crowds to a degree, but not entirely.
The week after Thanksgiving that straddles November and December used to be relatively uncrowded, one of Walt Disney World’s “best kept secrets.” Thanks to a mix of crowd calendars pointing guests towards those dates, savvy locals, Disney Vacation Members, and also due to Disney itself offering more discounts to lure people and groups down at this time of year, it’s not quite as incredible as it once was.
Our expectation is that this week (December 1-8, 2024) ends up in the 4/10 range, which is far better than the 10/10 crowds of Thanksgiving and even what’s typical for mid-December, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve. (For the last two years, this week has had crowd levels around 3/10.)
All around Walt Disney World, crowds will begin to pick up the second week (December 9-15, 2024). However, that should not be as pronounced this year as in the last several. Our expectation is that this week will be in the 5/10 range most days.
Last year, crowds weren’t even that bad–but it’s not an easy comparison since Thanksgiving is almost a full week later in 2024. Nevertheless, we expect roughly average crowds through mid-December 2024.
Normally, the second week crowd surge is driven by Pop Warner, a youth sport event that draws tens of thousands of guests to Orlando. However, it moved away from Walt Disney World a few years ago, and has bounced between Universal and SeaWorld Orlando since. Last year, there were not hotel or ticket options that included Walt Disney World. It doesn’t mean none of the attendees will visit Walt Disney World–some absolutely will–but certainly not as many as before.
This is a huge win for everyone else, as Pop Warner spiked attendance levels fairly considerably. Expect some participants to still visit Walt Disney World, but not enough to impact crowd levels in a meaningful way. Consequently, we’re anticipating crowds that are “only” in the 7/10 range. (With that said, if you’re also visiting Universal or SeaWorld, watch out for higher crowds at those parks due to Pop Warner.)
The first part of the third week (December 16-19, 2024) still isn’t terrible on the crowd calendar, as this is before Christmas vacation starts for most schools. Expect moderate to high crowd levels.
Still worse than the two weeks before it, but not bonkers. However, if you have the choice to visit any of the first three weeks of December, definitely choose one of the first two. Crowds will likely be in the 8/10 range during this partial week.
All bets are off beginning December 20, 2024. This is when Christmas vacation starts, and crowds will begin arriving that Friday, accelerating into the weekend. By Monday, December 23, it’ll be bonkers.
With Christmas Day and New Year’s Day both falling on Wednesdays in 2024, it’s a bit more difficult to predict how bad that week will be, as this is something we haven’t seen since 2019. All years since, Christmas has fallen over a weekend or long weekend (Friday or Monday). As a result of that dynamic, crowds were mostly consolidated into the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
In 2024, we’re expecting crowds to be more spread out between the two weeks. That’ll mean the peak week (always Christmas to New Year’s Eve) isn’t quite as bad and the week leading up to Christmas is much worse. That’s how it was way back in 2019…and every year before that.
With that said, every single day from December 20, 2024 should see peak attendance and high numbers on the crowd calendar–you’re looking at a solid string of 10/10 dates. The last 10 days of December 2024 will be the busiest stretch of the year at Walt Disney World. This is one of the worst times of the year to visit unless you know what you’re doing.
This includes both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. For some reason, a lot of people expect any holiday itself to be light in terms of crowds, and think they might be able to “outsmart” other guests by going on the holiday–the holiday itself is packed, too. If you dislike crowds, these two weeks are an awful time for you to visit.
With that said, the evening of Christmas Eve tends to drop off as compared to the rest of the busy week and Christmas morning typically starts out a bit slower–but this is relative to the rest of the week, not in absolute terms. It’s still very busy!
Despite all of these dates being 10/10 on the crowd calendar, the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve is typically the busier of the two weeks, with wait times that are about 25% higher. They’re both 10/10 because Christmas is still one of the 10 worst weeks of the year, it’s just around #7 as compared to New Year’s, which is almost always #1.
If you’re debating between the two weeks, we’d highly recommend reading Walt Disney World’s Busiest Week of the Year By Far for a discussion of Christmas to New Year’s Eve last year. That really illustrates how not all 10/10 crowd levels are equal, along with the pros & cons of New Year’s at Walt Disney World.
For more specific advice for the latter holiday, see our Tips for Surviving New Year’s Eve at Walt Disney World. That guide will help you navigate and outsmart the crowds, as well as enjoy the unique entertainment and fireworks shown on and before NYE.
Throughout December, there are two parks with their own quirks. First, Epcot will be significantly more busy on weekends, especially when Florida colleges like UCF have away football games. Epcot’s attendance will be lightest on weekdays before 4 pm, with heavier crowds after work as locals turn out to graze at the festival booths. Epcot will also be busier on days when fan-favorite celebrities are narrating Candlelight Processional.
On Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party nights, Magic Kingdom closes to regular ticket holders at 6 pm. Consequently, the park is less busy during the day time hours on dates when MVMCP is held, and more busy on non-party days. This might seem counter-intuitive, but it’s because the party is separately-ticketed.
The last couple of years, Magic Kingdom crowd levels have been 10/10 most non-party days, whereas crowd levels have been 3/10 to 4/10 on party days. That amounts to an average wait time differential of about 15-20 minutes per ride, which adds up over the course of the day to the point that you can accomplish more in the party-shortened days when Magic Kingdom closes at 6 pm.
Once again, we strongly recommend doing Magic Kingdom during the days shortened by MVMCP, and then hop to another park by ~4 pm. Even with 4/10 or 5/10 crowd levels, you’ll still come out ahead by avoiding Saturdays, Mondays, and other non-party days. (So long as you’re fine skipping fireworks or evening in Magic Kingdom–but you can always Park Hop over on a different evening!)
Although Magic Kingdom closes earlier to regular guests on MVMCP days, it also opens earlier. This is a huge advantage, as covered in Photo Report & Strategy: Magic Kingdom Early Entry at 7:30 am on Party Days.
We’ve also covered the upside to the full day at Magic Kingdom on the shortened days in our new My “Party Day” at Magic Kingdom WITHOUT Genie+. Those are specific to the Halloween Party, but the exact same idea applies with Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
Finally, Disney Springs, resorts, restaurants, and bars at Walt Disney World all are busier during the Christmas season. This is due to a mix of holiday dinners and locals wanting to enjoy the free Christmas decorations and entertainment. Be sure to make ADRs for any fine dining outside the parks, and be aware that you’ll encounter heavier crowds in Disney Springs.
This should all underscore why we don’t really care for traditional color-coded or numerical Walt Disney World crowd calendars. None of the above trends could be adequately conveyed by a simple graphic, and it’d be easy to become frustrated if we simply had an December 2024 crowd calendar starting with a bunch of 7/10 or 8/10 days and then two straight weeks of 10/10 days. Hopefully this provides more nuance to how Walt Disney World attendance and wait time trends are–and are not–predictable via crowd calendars.
December Discounts & Pricing
Price-wise, December is all over the place. In general, resort rack rates and ticket pricing tracks crowd levels–meaning that it’s cheaper at the beginning of the month and gets progressively more expensive closer to Christmas and New Year’s Eve. That last week is the single most expensive of the year.
For promotions and special offers that are available in December 2024, see All Current Walt Disney World Discounts. Although it’s not available yet, we’re also anticipating a second wave of Free Dining during the holiday season. It won’t cover the entirety of the month, but we’re expecting it for a big chunk of November and December 2024–probably right up until Christmas Day. You can also save with last-minute deals on DVC point rentals–just be mindful of the flexible cancellation policies, as they’re not nearly as flexible.
If you’re booking a room-only discount, you can decide for yourself which hotel might be best by reading our Walt Disney World Hotel Reviews. To save money on airfare, we recommend ITA Software to search for the best prices. Obviously, none of this does you any good if you’re planning on visiting in a few weeks and have already booked your trip, but it should be useful for those of you considering a December visit to Walt Disney World.
Overall, December is a great month to visit Walt Disney World if you can work around all of the caveats mentioned above. This is one of those months with so many exceptions that they almost swallow the rule. It is true that the bad times (in terms of crowds and weather) can be really bad, but the upside if you can plan around groups and the last two weeks, and you’re willing to roll the dice on weather, is so great that it’s tough to consider December a “bad” month.
Our secret to visiting this time of year is starting your trip the Sunday after Thanksgiving, and ending it prior to Pop Warner starting. This is one of our favorite weeks of the year to go, and if you can manage to visit then, not only do you get all of the Christmas offerings, but crowds aren’t as chaotic, and there’s a greater likelihood of good weather. Just don’t go around spreading that ‘secret’ too much, as it may not stay a great time to visit if you do! 😉

“This also means our “sweet spot” for the best time to visit in terms of crowds is December 11-17, 2016…”
Yay! You have no idea how happy this sentence made me is, as those are our exact dates. We’re staying at Pop Century, and upgraded to the Table Service plan with the free dining promo. We even managed to fly for nearly nothing (<$100 total, NOT per person). Neither of us have been any other time besides the middle of July, with the crowds, heat, and afternoon showers. So low crowds and Christmas decorations should be wonderful. Thanks for the article!
We’re staying at the Pop Century the same week and have had lots of problems booking dining reservations. Most of the restaurants are booked solid. I’m concerned that this means the crowds are going to be heavy this year.
My family of 4 arrives at Pop Century in about 22 hours. This will be our first visit. I booked in August, also due to low airfare, just missed free dining though. But I’ve kept this trip a secret from my 6&9 yo daughters ever since then. They will be surprised when they wake up in about 7 hours. Yes, I’m addicted to finding out as much as I can before we arrive. This website has been such a blessing. Thanks Tom.
Give me the scoop on how you got tickets to fly so cheap.
That sentence made me smile as well. We are arriving on the 9th and leaving on the 16th. As someone who has been there during the pop warner thing, it is a NIGHTMARE. The kids are rude and the “adults” “watching” them, aren’t.
We are booked for 12/10-12/15 this year. I checked the Pop Warner site and they are leaving on the 10th. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. This is our 2nd time to DW but our first stay on site. I’m still trying to decide if flying or driving is best for our family. We live in Pittsburgh, Pa. We drove last summer it wasn’t horrible. Any tips on the driving vs flying debate?
We found it was such a waste of time and it only cost us $150.00 more to fly, with the two days it takes to drive it just wasn’t worth it to us. (we are from Long Island)
My husband even joked around with us on the drive home, we got as far as Jacksonville Florida and he said “Ladies and gentlemen please put your seat backs up and your tray tables in their upright positions…” we said “what are you talking about?” and he said “well, if we flew home, we would be landing right now, it only takes 2 and a half hours to fly home.” It was like “ARRRRRRRGH” because we hadn’t even gotten out of Florida yet and still had a whole day and half to drive. We will personally never drive again, we got to spend a whole extra day in Disney by flying.
How did you get such cheap fights? We are flying from nyc the same dates and our airfare for 4 is almost $2000!!
In reply to Cheryl… I am not sure where you’re looking up flights from NYC to Orlando, but I am finding them from $127 a person for your dates and from $107 leaving a day later. Hope this helps!
Thank you wonderful Bricker couple!! I have two teenage boys and two young girls, whom I’d prefer not witness the Pop Warner shenanigans! I asked our travel agent to change our dates to the week after Thanksgiving (11/27/16-12/5/16), and ended up getting ‘free’ dining (with purchase of Park Hopper), which ended up being over $2K off of our total package price. How amazing!! Thank you for your awesome newsletter!!! :):):):):)
I was there from 30 NOV to 09 DEC back in 2012 and I never really noticed the Pop warner kids or cheerleaders. Lucky me. Or maybe I was blissfully ignorant.
Is the football and cheer event always held the second week in December?
Hi, We are planning on the first week of December 2015 so I checked the dates. According to the Pop Warner Calendar 2015 the dates are December 5th to 12th.
So are we! We leave Disney on the 5th to head home. Hope we avoid that mess!
Yes! Let the buyer beware! Lol
Hi Tom I will be spending NYE with my whole family we are planing going to epcot do you know if they will have DJs? Live Music? NY countdown? Or just the Iluminations Show? Thank You
All three! Check out our New Year’s Eve post: https://www.disneytouristblog.com/new-years-eve-disney-world-tips/
We are considering various dates- how busy/ crowded is the week before Christmas? Second alternative- if visiting Disney with 4 & 6 year old, would we still be rubbing into the pop warner group at the attractions our younger kids would be interested in?
would you say that MVMCP is uncomfortably crowded during the Pop Warner week?
If you already had purchased the Fantasmic dining Package and then purchased the Frozen Premium Package is it possible to make both events? Should I changed the dining to regular dining and go to the second Fantasmic!?
Out of curiosity, from a photographer’s view point, what is your take on the new Main Street Christmas decorations? I’m interested to see what you think, and how you will photograph them.
I am so excited. My best friend and I are going to wdw December 3rd thur 8th. This will be my ninth trip but never at Christmas. I was so glad to read your post about the crowds and the weather.
Bahaha… I am totally headed down for the cheerleading competition with the squad that I coach. We actually avoid staying in the All Star resort for the exact reasons you describe (especially rowdy football teams). FYI they also offer the Caribbean Beach & Coronado Springs Resorts in the Pop Warner package. We stayed at the Caribbean last year and we’ll be staying at Coronado this year. I don’t really recall the parks being overrun with the participants, we didn’t really wait in line for anything, but I can’t blame you for avoiding the event 😉
Is this event always the second week in December? We are planning a 2015 December trip and (no offense) would like to avoid this event. ☺ï¸
Tom, on what date traditionally do the resort hotels decorate their lobbies? We’re going on the week of Thanksgiving, but will be staying through Saturday the 29th. I would love to see the WL lit up.
I was there a few years ago and they decorated the Sunday before Thanksgiving, I believe.
Great advice, especially about the weather.
Back in Christmas in 2009 we surprised the kids with a trip to Disney World starting in early January. It was nice as they still had some of the holiday offerings, but none of the crowds.
The worst part though was the weather. Being from Canada we thought that we could handle all that Florida could possibly dole out. We were wrong, so very, very wrong. Unseasonably cold temperatures hit the area and it even snowed that week. Even with multiple layers we could not stand the piercing sting of a humid climate with close to freezing temperatures.
Thankfully we have been back to Florida since and experienced some hot weather to balance it out, but I’m not so sure that we would “risk” another Winter visit.
-Kyle
We used to always arrive on thanksgiving and stay for two weeks after but after some annoying /upsetting run ins with rude cheerleading coaches -one even screeched at a wdw bus driver that he was going the wrong way!! Setting a great example to the girls she had with her – we’d Now rather ather battle the Thanksgiving week crowds. I know they’re not all like that we met some wonderful families who’s daughters were All American Cheerleaders who were down for the parade recording and they were a pleasure but unfortunately the pop warner groups did themselves no favours 😔
This sentence “Our secret to visiting this time of year is starting your trip the Sunday after Thanksgiving” made me yell “YEA!!!!!” Across the house. Husband and I planned our first solo vacation together to be in the Disney Bubble that Sunday through December 5th. Yalls secret has solidified my career as our vacation planning genius. I just hope we can see everything we have planned! Spectacle of lights Sunday and Candlelight procession Monday. Yalls hints and tips have been super helpful in the planning and reservations. 20 days. AHHHH!
I check in 11/29 and have the same schedule as you. Osborne lights Sunday. Candlelight Processional Monday. MVMCP Tuesday. Was just there 10/19-25, so this is a more “casual” trip. Sleep later. 10am breakfast ADRs at Kona and Boma. Explore the decorations at the resorts. In the parks mid-afternoon for evening Christmas activities. (Exception is Epcot to build in more time for Holidays around the World.)
Yay!! We have a very early ADR at Ohana Monday morning. Look’s like we are on the same planning track location wise. I am hoping to get a lot of the resort decoration touring out of the way (I feel like that is a terrible way to say that because we are very much looking forward to giant trees) while we do our ADR’s. Hope your ‘casual’ trip is relaxing!
Only 16/17 more days! WEE!
I’m staying at All Star Music 11/29-12/3, leaving just before Pop Warner.
Am I good? Will I get people who decide to arrive early? Should I investigate switching to another resort?
There might be some who arrive early, but it’s the kids in large groups that are the issue, and you won’t experience any of that. I wouldn’t worry about it.
My husband and I are flying in that weekend to attend MVMCP on the 14th. Think the majority of the event crowds will have gone home?
Yes, you should be good!
Haha, the first few cheer leading songs are fun. But when they follow you around the whole day at HS , its pretty annoying. The extremely large groups (300 plus girls)also made wait time for HTT a 180 minutes,on the day we were there last year (dec 9th 2013).
Thank goodness we had FP.
Hello!
Me and my boyfriend recently went on our first trip to Orlando and WDW, and your blog was absolutely invaluable in deciding what to do and where to eat! All your tips are amazing and some of our favourite things were things we’d found out about through your blog eg the sci if dine in, the sand pail, mickey’s not so scary Halloween party, country bear jamboree, via Napoli…I could go on for ages.
Now we are back, post disney depression has kicked in big time, and we live in London so it’s not exactly easy to come back soon (sob sob) but I’m reading through your other blog posts so we have ideas for future trips! Christmas at WDW looks magical – think we’ll do Paris next year so we can tide ourselves over before the next orlando trip!!
So anyway, thank you so much for all the helpful advice, and for all your amazing blog posts and pictures that are cheering me up and giving me bedtime reading til the next trip hahahah!

Pop Warner weekend: PREACH. I am about 45 minutes out of WDW, and go several times a month, with November/December being my absolute favorite… other than those tournement weeks. I have actually left lines for attractions because of them… oh, and I am only 23 🙂 (altough probably about 85 at heart 😉 )
