I know it may be cooler weather; hopefully not too bad? Do you think that the week BETWEEN the 2 holiday weeks in November would be less busy - we would be there the 16-18th. Or, might it be better to go in December, perhaps the 7-9th? In Dec. at that time, would the parks be open their regular, shorter hours - or will they close earlier than normal for a special event? Please give me your opinions! I'd like to try and make reservations ASAP. Thanks so much!

Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains The 7th and 8th are the CM parties and DL will close early for that - but they will open early so the hours in Dec would be 8am - 6pm ... In Nov the 17th and 18th the hours would be 10am - 8pm. You get the same amount of hours... I think Darkbeer or someone mentioned Christmas officially kicks off on 11/20 this year - but I could be mistaken...
