When we decided to start spending Christmas at Disney many moons ago it was after over a decade of spending it mainly at the in laws (and occasionally my parents). We were just very straight forward - we have decided it is time to start our own traditions and we will be spending Christmas in Florida. We will see you before or after our trip or you are welcome to come along if you want. Everyone has been okay with it. My in laws realized that most of the family was growing up (DH and I were the only ones with young kids) and we needed to have our our traditions. We no longer have one of us feeling bad if we aren't with our family on Christmas. We are together with the kids. DH's parents don't travel anymore. Mine like to join us for part of the trip every other year when my brother doesn't have his son on Christmas.
Bottom line --- just be straightforward and let people know your plans.
