I cant imagine they are any worse than the crowds at DL during the 50th week, if they are, then I am out.

The week of Christmas till New Years day is very crowded, that I prefer the crowds to the summer than holiday season (but not the temperatures! ) This does not mean you will go to Disney and have a bad time! Just make your plans and be flexible and you can have an awesome time anytime of the year you choose to go!

Originally Posted By planodisney Wow, that would be incredible. The week of the 50th celebration, you basically couldnt walk through the park. It was, by far, the worst crowd I have ever seen anywhere.
Originally Posted By Labuda Nah, the crowds during the 50th were VERY managable IMO. I was there from the 15th-22nd.
