![]() I know its only February but if you're like me, you're already planning your holiday trips! Plus, booking windows are open at your home resort
![]() The week before Christmas and New Year’s is the busiest week of the year at Walt Disney World. The parks will be filled with throngs of people and Magic Kingdom will likely fill to capacity and close to more guests at several points during the week. But if you visit during this week you can still have a fantastic time – but you will need to switch up your tactics. Here are ten tricks for actually enjoying yourself during the holidays at Disney World: https://www.resalesdvc.com/how-to-su...-disney-world/ Have any tips or tricks to ad?

![]() I mostly agree on the tips, however I think the fast pass strategy is off.
For Christmas/NYE week, I recommend taking advantage of morning EMH....be there at rope drop and save your fastpasses for the evening. This is what we do every year, including this year. For example, we went to MK on EMH day. We rode Buzz, Space Mountain (2x), Pooh, Peter Pan, Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder RR, Splash Mountain and Pirates all by 9am.

![]() Good advice. We just did our first NYE trip. MK has EMH on Dec 30 util 2 am so we arrived at the park about 9 pm to catch the fireworks show. We had some FPs and by about midnight the crowds really thinned out. We stayed till 2am [well...some of our group did] and had a blast....very manageable lines if you can be a night owl.
We really adjusted our expectations and didnt plan lots of park time on Dec 30 or 31 or Jan 1. I did note that on Jan 1 the crowds at Epcot were pretty low till about noon... We had a great time and I wont hesitate to go back in this time frame. With a kid in college and other one with a busy marching band and theater schedule, we now have to travel in busier times when they can both get away....

Ok....next time you are in WDW and I am there, tag along. Are there for rope drop and the hub? Got to MK by 6:40am, enter park and make way to hub. Hit space mtn first, always just a walk on. Then its buzz, because everyone bypasses it. (had planned on seven dwarfs, but the wait was already 60 min) pooh is a 5 min, peter pan was 10-5 min wait. Then had to wait for the rope drop at 8am to access Liberty, so its the second rope drop which means HH is a walk on, then its off to BTMRR which is a 10 min wait, splash mountain was a walk on and pirates is nearly a walk on.

As the kids enter high school I think we'll have to transition to T-Day week from October (sadness) so these type of plans become important to remember

Perhaps.....I remember when the kids were in high school. That is when we started doing more trips without the kids. The were busy.....school work, boy friend/girl friend, work and other "social" commitments of a 16-18 year old. Funny thing....We hit all the Holidays, but have never done Thanksgiving at WDW.
