My chest hurts even thinking about planning this.

We are looking at staying at Dolphin because I’m not giving these shysters one more $1 than I possible can.

There apparently is no dining passes happening currently.

I don’t even know why I’m booking this. She can just divorce me.

My opinion you are better off in a VRBO or Airbnb from a cost/benefit perspective. The thread here pretty much sums up the info you need. With Florida opening up could possibly be changes to their operating procedures between now and then. Think I saw where they are letting about 7,000 mostly part time employees go so will be. A different experience even with FL opening back up.

Florida will be shut down again by then, as the body count spikes, don't worry.

My advice to anyone going to Disney world is " you are going to get raped" money wise.

At least it won't be like in years past because of the china virus. But F that. I'd do something else.

Good grief, present some equally fun alternatives and make your case. Surely skiing, or the Carribbean, or something will tempt her to*not* go to Disney at Christmas. Or maybe you did marry the wrong person.

Might be the best year to go to Disney during Christmas. Probably will be a lot less crowded than normal.

Apparently the wait times have swollen back to normal sizes already. I'm guessing this is because a lot of things aren't open other than rides.

ETA: changed "crowds" to "wait times".

You can book dining reservations 60 days out. I would advise trying to get tables for those restaurants you want that first available day.

So, is it just a couple or do you have kids?

If just a couple, go after Thanksgiving week but before most kids are free for Christmas break. Less crowded, and all the Christmas decorations are up.

The only two times we went (one with and one without kids) we did this and it was great.

We typically go mid January for these reasons.

There are other places to go.

See if she’ll agree to somewhere else.

Years ago we went there the week before Christmas and it was very nice. The weather was cool and it was not that crowded. When LSU played Penn State in the Citrus Bowl, we spent 16 hours in the Magic Kingdom (10:00 am - 2:00 am) on New Year's Eve and it was packed.

Most of the christmas type celebrations are canceled
Shouldn't be that bad crowd wise not like normal
No fast passes are still in effect most likely

Weather is perfect as well

update us on wait times and crowds, we're going the following week. Mrs. Stexas wanted to give me a vacation for my birthday since we didn't get to do anything this summer. I immediately ask her why there...there was no answer other than it should be less crowded. They took away fast passes so the wait times are similar to regular attendance times from what I'm hearing

Will do. We originally planned to go to the lsu v Florida game. Had game tickets, flights to orlando, hotel in orlando , rental car already paid for.. with covid they condensed the schedule and rearranged some dates moving the game to the following weekend. Thats how we ended up with the Disney plans. I'll be sure and update. Another poster from the other disney thread should be there now and was promising me some updates.
