Well, that's our Disney week. It is very busy. But, I recall spring break and Thanksgiving break being a lot worse (at least with Christmas, there's two weeks to spread the crowd out over).

It will be crowded, but it's always worth it. Just be sure to book far in advance. Christmas break fills up quickly. We booked three months in advance, last year, and we got stuck with choosing between the Swan and the Dolphin. I've been checking the net for some last minute deals for this year, and as of right now, all of Orlando is booked (okay, I have noticed some openings at Portofino Bay and Royal Pacifica through the Universal website, but expedia has completely booked Orlando).

We went for eight days, last year, and we got everything done. Our second day, we made the mistake of going to Epcot before MK, and by the time we wandered over for our 12:30 ressies at Crystal Palace, the park had reached maximum capacity and we were not allowed in (we then had to rearrange our other ADRs). Of course, they didn't tell us until after we had exited Epcot, so we had to wait in a 30-minute line to get back in. After conversing with some Disney CMs, we learned that they were short-staffed for the day (well, for the number of people in the parks).

The next day, we woke up early and went straight to MK. We got everything we wanted to get done by noon.

Especially over the Christmas holidays, I recommend skipping the late night EMHs and opting for the morning EMHs. I say this over and over again, but you can get so much more done in an hour before the park opens than you can in the three hours after the park has closed.

The decor is fabulous. There are so many extra shows and parades and things to see. I do recommend going for the holidays... I just wish it wasn't so crowded (and expensive). But, hey, you've got to try everything once, right?
