    My husband and I are planning a trip to Disney the week of Christmas, we will be going to the park the 23,24, and 25th. I know the wait times will be long regardless, however I don't know which park to do on which day for the wait time sake.

    Hey Howdy Hey Jessica and welcome to planDisney!

    It is so exciting to know that your Magical vacation is just a few weeks away. While you will be visiting during the most magical time of the year, this is also a super busy time in the Walt Disney World Resort. Let's go over some strategies to make your trip as magical as possible. 

    As you mentioned Jessica, this is going to be a very busy time to visit the parks. While the parks will be busy, there still is a strategy for navigating the parks. The best thing you can do is to search online for a "Walt Disney World Crowd Calendar". There are many free options you can look into that will give you an idea of how busy the parks will be from a lot of historical data and predictions. They can be super helpful in giving you an idea of which parks to visit at which times. No matter which park you want to visit, they will all be busy so whichever you decide, make sure you get there early. 

    Magic Kingdom and EPCOT are the most visited parks and can be most likely to fill up quickly. As they do reach capacity limitations, they will start to limit Guests from entering. You will see notifications on your My Disney Experience if this does happen. If you will be staying onsite at a Disney Resorts Hotel, I would make sure to take full advantage of the Early Theme Park Entry perk. This will allow you in the parks 30 minutes before the general public and ensure that you have your spot in the parks to experience the Magic of the Holidays. 

    I hope you continue to enjoy the process of planning your vacation, if you have any other questions, let us know, we are always happy to help!

    To Infinity and Beyond,
