Question

Answer 1

Hi Antoinette!

We always visit Walt Disney World towards the beginning of December for our anniversary and find the crowds very manageable. It's after the Thanksgiving holiday crowd and before the Christmas crowd arrives. There definitely is a significant dip in levels in the beginning of December.

The parks are open normal hours during this time. The only time a park would close early is for a special event like Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at the Magic Kingdom. You can check the park hours on the Walt Disney World website closer to your dates to find the exact times the parks are open.

The Christmas Day Parade usually tapes the first weekend in December, but it won't be announced for sure until a month or two prior to the taping.

Have a magical day!
