Sounds great, I'm jealous already - LOL.
One thing I would say is skip the shopping / rest days and water parks early on and do as much Disney as you can up until that first Saturday. Most the East coast (and half the world!) flies, drives and begs their way into Orlando that weekend. You will literally see park numbers double on Sunday / Monday for the rest of your stay so make the most of the quiet (relatively speaking) first six days. Then shop till you drop later on when the parks get busy.
MK will be heaving any day after 20th and especially 23rd-27th. If you are staying in for Xmas day then maybe Sea World would be a good wind down day on Xmas Eve, it's pretty relaxing and never heaving.

Might want to wait and see how warm it is before hitting the water parks!!!!!!

As long as you are prepared for it to be busy then it won't be too much of a problem. Enjoy!

Hi Coma,

Thanks for that, I was wondering how busy it would be the second week. In fact I am a little worried about it being TOO busy.

We were going to get our Christmas presie while over there, but for us adults I don’t think it really matters when that it.

My DD is insisting on doing a water park as we have been to Orlando twice before and not done a water park. I have tried to avoid the busy days in Simon’s book, but I assume this doesn’t apply to the 2nd week??

What about Universal and IOA are they also heaving the 2nd week?

I suppose if we get a lot done the first week and maybe go late afternoon/early evening to some of the parks and use FP we should be OK? :( :confused2
