We can't travel anymore than a week before Christmas due to my brothers work commitments. Any answers would be appreciated thank you!

Originally Posted By Disneymom443 You should still go to WDW, just go durring a value or regular time. Not so crowded and not as $$. Jan.-feb. is a good time. End of Sep-Middle of Nov. Dec 1st- Dec 20. All good times.
Originally Posted By t1lersm0m Seriously, don't bother going the week of Christmas. yes, its great the kids don't have to miss school, and you may have to miss less work, but its not worth it for the crowds, not to mention the prices. You would be looking at 1.5 hour waits on the E tickets. Go the first week in December. The Christmas decorations will be up, the crowds will be low, you can go to the Christmas party at MK, and the weather is good (not too hot, not too cold, just right).
