    We are going to Disney for the first time ever with our 7 year old daughter and 5 year old son on Christmas Eve. We are staying at All Star Movies. What would be the best itenirary? We are there for 5 nights. Should we stay away from MK on Christmas Day?

    Hi there, Fiona!

    As I'm sure you are aware, Christmas Week at Walt Disney World is rather busy; historically, it is one of the peak times of the Disney travel year.

    My recommendation is to check out the third-party site TouringPlans.com. Using a combination of historical and realtime data, this site predicts crowd levels for the future, and offers wait times for the current day.

    Based on that site, I'm finding that most Parks are equally crowded during that week, the exception being Disney's Animal Kingdom.

    In fact, however, TouringPlans indicates that the peak park on Christmas Day is Epcot -- not Magic Kingdom! Looks like you might be able to give that Park a whirl.

    If you have a specific list of must-dos, please feel free to drop me a line. I would be happy to develop a more comprehensive list of suggestions for you.

    Have a wonderful trip!

    See you later, celebrator,
