I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but we are planning our first ever WDW trip at CHRISTMAS! Unfortunately, it is literally AT CHRISTMAS, or to be more specific, 12/29 - 1/2. Anyone have tips for surviving Christmas at WDW? I'll be going with DM (60+) and DB (29). The last time all three of us did all the parks was in 2014, so we have been (relatively) recently. I have warned them both that there will be CRAZY crowds, and I'm hoping if we go in with the expectation of seeing the Christmas-specific stuff and whatever FP+ we can get, we'll have reasonable expectations.
Here's our current plan:
Saturday, 12/29: EP (Planning to book a Candlelight Processional Dinner)
Sunday, 12/30: MK (Will try to get an ADR somewhere so we can have a spot to rest)
Monday, 12/31: HS (Is it worth it to book a Fantasmic Dining Package?)
Tuesday, 1/1: "Rest" day - tour the hotels (we're staying off property) and look at Christmas decorations, or just generally relax
Wednesday 1/2: AK
My DM loves Christmas and all the decorations, hence why I wanted to get to EP and MK before all the Christmas events were over. We're thinking about getting a 5-Day non-hopper pass, just in case we want to squeeze something in on 1/1, if we're up to it.
Any tips? Advice? This is obviously pretty last minute, but I'm doing my best!
