First time at Disney and had questions about Christmas holidays
Hello,
I am a recent subscriber to your YT channel and really enjoy your videos. I haven't been to Disney in 20 years, I am planning on taking my eight year old to Disney for a surprise from Dec 16-22, I know the timing isn't ideal due to crowds but it's the only time I can go. We plan to go to two days of Magic Kingdom, one day at Epcot and one day at Hollywood Studios. I plan to buy Genie+ and ILL for the big rides that we can.
My worry is that it's going to be so crowded that we won't be able to ride very many rides. It will likely be a few more years before we can come back so I'll willing to pay extra for Genie + and ILL's.
Given that we are coming the week before Christmas what should my expectations be in terms of being able to experience as much as possible.
Thank you for your helpful videos
Hi Shawn! While the lines are longer and there is more competition for the best Lightning Lanes, you should absolutely still be able to get most everything you want done in that time frame. Just prepare yourself that you will need to be strategic with Genie Plus and play those Disney Genie Slots for more than you normally would if you want to get really great return times. As long as your party is 4 or less, you should still be able to land some great Lightning Lanes with a little patience. Also, be sure to start your days early. Lightning Lanes for the most popular attractions will show as "not currently available" pretty early in the day. You can typically still get them, it will just be a lot more tedious, so try to book those early to avoid this problem. Hope you have a magical holiday vacation!
