Quote from: "Nicholas-c"Great stuff!!! I think i will add weekend in december to my "Times of year to avoid" list :P

So... Who wants to play the "Guess crushes coaster queue time game" ? :P

Edit: Anyone got any pictures of the crowds ?
I'd also been told that there were very limited hotel rooms left over the Christmas period, with most of the Disney hotels being fully booked.  :shock:  :shock:

On the issue of crowds, I would also love to see some photo's of the crowded areas.. :o

Saying that, I could imagine this being the swimming pool at the Sequoia Lodge this weekend>>  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :mrgreen:

OMG  :shock:  we will be there the weekend of 20th/21st, we were there during the week last year and it was nowhere near as busy as that.

We get there the Thursday, best make use of magic hours!!!! What time does the park start to get quiet again?

At a first look i thought the post said "sell out!: 6th January" which led to a moment of panic as i'm there then lol.

Great news that the park was packed, but it has told me never to book a day or weekend trip the 1st week of December lol.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow,... You're always a day closer to my next Disney trip!

Quote from: "The Butlin Boy"That's absolutely incredible news for DLRP, amazing =D> However, I wouldn't want to be there on a day like that :wink:

I'm the opposite :wink:   I just love it when it's busy.......it makes for an electric atmosphere which I absolutely love.
It's just great news that the popularity of the resort is growing =D>  I just hope the growth in popularity of this great resort continues [-o<

Thanks for that, filled me with great joy  :!:
oh well, fingers crossed it is suddenly empty the weekend before christmas!!!!!!!!!

I liked the point about atmosphere... What worries me though is if we leave the park and try to go back in for the Mickey Dinner at 7pm, will they let us back in?
