Hi –
Any advice for itinerary for 2 adults/2 children (8 & 10). Travel dates 12/9 through 12/16 (friday (arrive at 11am) to friday(depart at 1pm). Staying at Wilderness Lodge. Would like to include Seaworld & Mickey’s Christmas Party. Is this doable?
Hi Marcia!
These are really close. The absolute lightest days in your possible periods will be 11/30 through 12/2, so on that basis I’d go with the 11/30 start…
Hello – my family and I have gone in September the past 3 years and love the low crowds. This year we want to see the Christmas decorations. We are able to travel Wednesday to Tuesday. Do you recommend 11/30 to 12/6 or 12/7 to 12/13?? We are mostly concerned about crowds. I know both weeks fall during Pop Warner and the MK parade taping is 12/3. Any advice would be much appreciated as I am planning this trip for 3 families!!
Andy and Tracey–most of what’s here is for 8 night trips. However, check out the second of the two example longer itineraries near the end of this page.
Hope this helps and have a great trip!! Dave
