Dear Julie,
I'm so glad that you decided to stop by to visit us here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your great planning question about the Walt Disney World Resort!
Visiting the most magical place on earth at the most magical time of year is just a wondEARful way to ring in the holidays!
I wouldn't say that one week is better than any other week at that time of year, but if you are interested in
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, then I would be sure check out those dates to plan your trip. That runs for a variety of dates in November and December, so you are sure to find one that works for you.
In terms of crowds, those few weeks are typically seen as about the same as one another, with the crowds building leading up into Christmas. There are quite a few historical crowd calendars online that you can take a look at to give you some ideas of the best strategies.
Hope that helps with your magical planning!
