magic kingdom on Christmas eve or day?

I´ve heard that Magic Kingdom is usually crowded on Christmas. But, what is the best? Going on 24 or 25?
And what about dining reservation? Is it still possible?
Thank you in advance!!

Go to www.disboards.com, they are Disney pro's and will be able to give you excellent info. Someone will have the number for dining reservations as it has slipped my mind. I would imagine both days will be crowded though.

Both days are among the most crowded of the year and often the parks close due to capacity early in the day. Plan to stay in the park or risk not being able to get back in. You can try to make dining reservations (407-WDW-DINE) but it will likely to be full at this late date.

I like to refer to the crowd calendar at www.touringplans.com. It suggests visiting MK on the 24th and avoiding it on the 25th. Both dates have a crowd level of 10.

Thanks for the info, Greenhouse!

Is there a crowd level info for Universal parks? And also for Seaworld & Busch Gardens?

Christmas Day and Eve are very busy days!
On WDW's FAQ, the site tells you what days are busiest days and quieter days for each park.

This is my favorite Disney travel sites. Great travel tips!

Disney resort guests can now make dining reservations up to 180 days in advance; everyone else can make them 90 days in advance. So you're pretty late making reservations.

"Pretty late" does not mean there aren't any spaces left. You should be calling already!

Universal will be just as crowded as WDW.
