You are all very welcome. I can't wait.

I'll see if I can answer some of your questions. But this is just my personal experience. I certainly am not an expert on the subject.

1. For most of WDW parks and events, I seem to notice that most of the local residents visit on their days off work on the weekends. This seems to be the more crowded days in December.

2. I also notice that the the first Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday after Thanksgiving weekend seem to be the least crowded days in the first two weeks of December.

3. For MVMCP night it seems that everyone walks down Mainstreet and stops in front of the castle to watch the first stage show. Boy is it crowded their.

4. Then everyone stays near the castle or back up Mainstreet to save a place for the first MVMCP Holiday Parade.

5. The last couple of years the MVMCP may officially start at 1900, but many people can enter the MK at 1600 and use their MVMCP ticket to get their MVMCP wrist band. This will allow you to write some extra rides three hours before the official opening.

6. There is a great Holiday show in the Tomorrowland auditorium that actually starts before 1900 and is a great way to see one of the first MVMCP shows.

7. And you can also plan a dinner before MVMCP at Crystal Palace and head out to the Adventureland and get your family photos, and see some characters and ride Pirates of the Carribean.

8. If you skip the first parade, you can take advantage of the Fantasyland rides being slightly slower lines.

9. Toontown is always a great place to visit.

10. But don't forget to watch the very special MVMCP Wishes fireworks.

11. Most people seem to leave down Mainstreet after the second parade because the kids are so tired. Especially if they have been up all day. So the later that you can stay the shorter the lines can be.

Have a great time.
