Is early Dec a good time to go?

I was told to maybe break up my questions, so here goes
We are a family of 4, with what will be a 4 year old and a 1 year old. We would like to go when the Christmas stuff is up, we were thinking sometime between November 29 and Dec 12. Is this a good time to go, or will it be really crowded?We can only go for 5 days, is that long enough? Thank you!

Can someone tell me about this taping of the Christmas Parade. In a earlier post they said that it is taped on a Saturday is that right? Is it a one day taping? I am going Sunday November 29-December 4. When do they announce the day or days that the MK is effected by this?

It is usually the first weekend of December, but you never know for sure until they announce it (I'm not sure when they announce it). I believe this past year they filmed on Friday and Saturday, but I think most of it is done on Saturday.

Thanks Kristie,

If that date holds true for 2009, I will miss the taping crowds, I will be back home that day and back to work.....

We were there Dec. 14 to 19 last year and I thought it was fantastic. All the decorations in the parks and resorts were up, and the Christmas crowds hadn't arrived yet. The weather was warm (70ºs/80ºs daytime highs), which was a lot better than the freezing weather we had at the beginning of February. The Candlelight Processional, The Osborne Family Lights and if it is in your budget, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party are not to be missed.
