Disneyworld
 
Considering a trip the week before Christmas. Has anyone been there that week-is it horribly crowded? 15th thru the 19th

Generally considered one of the least crowded weeks. According to conventional wisdom, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas attract fewer visitors as everyone is home getting ready for Christmas. Also there is the added bonus of all the beautiful Christmas decorations and special events.

That is an awesome time to go. Most schools don't let out that close to Christmas, so crowds will be thin.

Have been several times around the 1st and 2nd weekends of December and absolutely love it. You get all the Christmas decorations and activities, without the Christmas/New Years crowds.

Go for it!

The only thing to consider is the weather. 60s to 70s during the day, 50s at night. May get warmer than that but that is the average.

Low Season/Value Season traditionally ends Dec 19.Dec 20 thru Dec 31, how do you spell mob scene. But, it's magical.

I am not sure that there is a low crowd time in Disney anymore. I was there last weekend, no holidays, passed spring break... and the Magic Kingdom was unbearable. I would get a Fast Pass at 1:00 and it would give us a return time of 6:00! By that time I was cleary way on the other side of the park. It was crazy. I do not remember ever waiting in line for Small World and we waited like 25 minutes.
