We will be heading to DLR 12/27 to 1/1 for our first (and likely only) trip there during the actual December holidays. We know it will be insane from reading past year's reports, and figure it will ramp up even more this year due to the 60th stuff and the crush of APs who are using their Premium passes for the last time, including those who bought them from Disney store shortly after the price increase. (Nothing held against anyone, we are premium APs too who got them in August).
I am looking for general advice anyone wants to share about how to approach this week. This will be our fourth trip this year (early May, late August, last week for Halloween), so we have already mostly had our fill of the usual must-dos: Fantasmic, PtN, WoC Celebrate, Aladdin, Pixar Play Parade. We've seen DF several times but never from Main Street, so that may be a must do and I'd love to hear opinions.
We are planning on WoC Winter Dreams, and the Holiday Tour as well to knock out IASW Holiday, Jingle Cruise, and CF parade. Do they offer the "Welcome to DL" tour during this week? We may use it to get preferred seating for Mickey and the Magical Map, as we've never found time to see that show before.
Ride-wise, the only things we care about that won't already be knocked out by the holiday tour are the new SW stuff in Tomorrowland, unless there are other rides/attractions that are plussed during the holidays that we don't know about.
Given that we've already seen a bunch of the nighttime entertainment, and that we have a 4 yo, I am thinking we should target rope drop each day to ensure we get in, and call it an early night each night so we don't burn out. Possibly get in to DL early on 12/31 and stay all day for NYE celebration, but undecided on that, especially with a 4 yo. Is it worth it?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
