I dont know I may be wrong but I think the crowds are going to be pretty large starting on Sat the 3rd. Possibly even Friday
DVC is sold out, no rooms available for points or cash, and all Disney Hotels are sold out for Sat night when we checked on Thursday.
Friday night doesnt look much better, think theres a couple of 1 bedroom villas left at SSR and BCV
The Dolphin and Swan had a lot available on both Friday and Sat night when we checked Thursday, now I believe theres only standard rooms left(ie no balcony)
From reading other boards, there are 3 major events going on that Sat-
Mousefest(I believe the last and usually biggest day),Pop Warner football & cheers, and they are taping the Christmas show at MK that day.
so I may be wrong but I would plan ahead starting that Sat
