Is Christmas at WDW worth it?

[heartodisney]

YES! It is worth it, make sure you take time to visit the resorts for their Christmas decorations..this is just a "taste" of what you will see! I know there has been other posts on this subject and some have said that there has been cut-backs..but you will enjoy!

We are going to Disney cruise Dec 2 and then WDW Dec 5-9 I can not wait it has been years since we have been there during the Christmas season.

Going the 1st/2nd week of dec is a good time to go.

3rd week (or 4th?) isnt fun when all these "Pop Warner Groups" comes in and would avoid going anywhere around them.

DH and I have been to WDW from the 8th to the 19th, and it was truly magical. We loved the decorations, the Christmas spirit, the shows, fireworks, etc. We're planning our trip next year around the same time again.

Pop Warner is the 4th through the 11th of December, so they're out of there long before the major holiday crowds arrive. From the 20th on and everyone is out of school is when it really starts getting busy.

You're correct, i remember seeing them the first week of dec as well - dont like all the screaming and yelling they provide. its not that bad, but just to many crowd of groups.

It is a wonderful time of the year to be at the world.

The lines are long, but the atmosphere is fantastic.

YES! It's worth it for the music alone.

The Christmas season is a wonderful time to go with all of the shows and decorations at the resorts and parks. The only way I'd go during the Christmas/New years week is if I was an experienced WDW traveller and go often enough so I don't mind only getting on a few rides due to the lines, or I was only going for a short time to be in the parks during New Years Eve. If I only went to WDW once a year or less, I'd avoid that week and go during the beginning of December.

It is the best time to go. We won't make it this Christmas We are going in April instead. ( band trip with are girls)

I do think it's worth it. We went the week before Christmas last year, we had a great time...but it was really crowded. I would suggest earlier in december if it's possible for you. It is something everyone should experience at least once it their lives...
