We are planning our next visit christmas 2003 and can't wait but are worried about how busy it will be. Last time we came at Easter and that was busy is Christmas worse?

I've not been at Christmas but have heard that it is not quite as busy as Easter - I'm sure other forums members will correct me if I'm wrong! We are going for 4 weeks, over Christmas and new year this year, so I'll soon find out.

We went to Magic Kingdom on Christmas Day and I wouldn't do it again. It was absolutly packed and not a pleasure to walk round. We found out afterwards that they had closed the gates several times because there were too many people trying to get in.
If you do decide to go, then get there early. We got there at 7.30am!!

We were over last Christmas, but went to The Renaissance on Christmas Day. Give the parks a miss that day - have a wonderful lunch - then head for Disney Boardwalk and watch Epcot's Fireworks from there.

We've been over for Christmas twice - 1999/2000 and 2001/02. Weather can be cool, so take some warm clothes but we did have warm weather - up in the 80's as well. Noticeably busy the Christmas eve/day time and new year but otherwise not too bad. Haven't been at Easter so can't compare.
We steered clear of Disney for Christmas day and went to Universal instead. Also tried cooking x-mas lunch first time and it didn't work - couldn't get hte gravy right, so next time we shall do as Ian suggests and go to somewhere like the Renaissance.
New Year's bash we went for the millenium to universal which was fantastic - they had fireworks between the 2 parks and citywalk, and a party until 3.00am. Great atmosphere. We happened to be in the Irish bar at 7.00pm when it was midnight at home - so all the Brits got together and sung auld lang syne - the americans thought we were mad! Last year we went to MGM, again great party, 2 live acts on at separate parts and wonderful fireworks. Only advice is to book a restaurant before you go otherwise you just have to eat at one of the fast-food places.
We go out for christmas every other year and will also be out x-mas 2003.

We went over the Christmas period, and on Christmas day we did SeaWorld. Brilliant, there were no real queues for anything! Then went on to TGI Friday's, again not many people around, so we had brilliant service.

I can second the renaissance too. It was a cold day-poured down the whole day-so a lovely lunch followed by Lord of The Rings at the cinema and a good day was had by all.

We went Christmas last year, we had christmas dinner in the magic kingdom that was good, but we came straight out after (we have a yearly pass) you could not move for people, it does get cool. Go to Celebration, we went Christmas eve they have snow (twice a night)so its not the real thing but its the next best.regards paula If you want to book dinner at disney book early .(months)
We went at Christmas for the first time in 2001. We really enjoyed it and went to Epcot on Christmas Day which was not too busy. The weather suited us fine as we don't like it too hot.

We went for New year and the week after. Epcot new years eve was great because each country celebrated at their own new year time.
Went to universal one day that week and queued 1 and a half hours for men in black. Went back the following week and walked straight on 4 times in a row!
Magic Kingdom and Epcot shut the gates because they were full by about midday most days between Christmas and New Year in 2001.
