[Question] Is it crowded on Christmas Eve?

[Bob Weaver]

We're thinking of stopping by DL in the afternoon on Dec. 24th, on our way to my sister's house. Has anyone been to DL on Christmas Eve, and is it very crowded? We will probably just try to see the Christmas parade, Tiana's Showboat Jubilee, the castle lighting, It's a Small World, and possibly stay for the fireworks which are listed as starting at 8:40. I was just wondering, will it be insanely crowded or just average?
Thanks!

Hot damn, it will be as crowded as it gets. Even possibly full capacity. Don't even think about "just stopping in for a few minutes" ; people will start crowding around for the fireworks hours in advance.

Oh wow. Well, thanks for the heads up on it, maybe we'll reconsider our plans.

Yeah, that might be a good idea. Think Times Square crowded.

Now we're thinking maybe Thursday Dec. 17 or Saturday Dec. 19th.

I was there on Christmas Eve a few years ago and the place was practically empty. It was wonderful.

Thanks, I guess the weather may be a factor too.
