So all 3 times I've been to Disney we have went in September never in December. Anyone wanna share some of the pros or any tips for December??

 

[Tbiafore]

Third trip during December (and we have done September twice also), but I have always gone at the beginning of the month which is less crowded and we beat the holiday rush.

Pro's for early December are:
- Weather is much nicer than in September
- Its decorated all Christmas "like" which is amazing looking
- Less crowded and off season so slightly cheaper if you go early december
- They hold a Holiday Special Event at Magic Kingdom on certain nights if you have never been, extra ticket cost, but very cool experience if you have never done it
- Also during the event, you get a Special Event card if you collect the "Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom" cards

Con's
- You can have rain, so you need to always be prepared for that
- When they run their holiday events at Magic Kingdom, that can cut your day at the park short if you dont plan around that or have extra tickets for the event (just plan around this event if your not going)
- Crazy busy I hear if you go towards the later half of December due to Xmas

I am sure there are more, these are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Those are great to hear! We are planning earlier December and the cooler weather will be great. The heat in September was always a con.
And I feel like we pretty much dealt with all the cons you listed in September as well. (Rainy weather and planning around the Halloween parties instead of the christmas)
Sounds like it will be nice. The. Only thing I’m kinda disappointed about is missing food and wine festival. We’ve been to it every time we wen, I’m worried it’s gonna feel like we’re really missing something.

Welcome! Poly is lovely! I will update the roll call tonight with all the new friends joining us.

We go annually the week of Christmas 12/19/17 -12/26/17 and I agree with all of the above Pros and Cons the weather during our last trip was in the mid to upper 80s at DW. Another Con is once a park reaches capacity they will close the park on Christmas Eve and Christmas day this usually happens at MK so if we want to go to MK on those days we will park hop and go later in the evening. I LOVE going during Christmas it is by far the most Magical Time of the year at Disney.

Hi, my plans are a bit tentative, but I may go around Dec. 25 - Jan. 1, stay offsite, and might not do any park days (I'd rather avoid the crowds, and I'll probably be in between annual passes at that point). I'm planning to have meals at some of the Disney resorts, view the decorations, maybe also visit some offsite attractions, and might stop by a real ocean beach for a short walk (no swimming that time of year LOL), weather permitting. Any other suggestions on holiday activities outside the parks, at WDW or nearby, I'm all ears.

Our plans on going back are still in the planning stage. We bought an American Eagle motorhome over the weekend so if we go we will at the campgrounds!! As of right now if we go it will be a 3 or 4 day trip at the most. Will update as we figure it out!!

 

[Stitch813]

All set for Dec 1-7 at Beach Club!!!

I hope I get to see the way you decorate your RV and lot, for the holidays. That is 1 thing that BDLsgal and I love doing. We go see THE Hoop Dee Doo Revue, and then walk around the campgrounds and see how everybody decorated their campers, lots and golf carts. They are always creative and fun. It's right up there with resort hopping and seeing how they are individually decorated as well (minus the life-sized gingerbread structures).
