Friends of mine just booked a trip to Disney for December 26- Jan. 3rd. They have both been a couple times before, but don't plan things and aren't the type to research things online. I tried explaining to them how that is the busiest week of the year, but they don't seem to truly get how it might affect their vacation. What can i do to help them so that they don't find themselves waiting 6 hours a day and have only been on 3 rides? Have any of you had friends/family like this?
ETA: They had a choice of the first week of December, the last week in January or the week that they chose(Dec. 26-Jan3rd). I told them either of the other two would be better, but they said " They want to go the week of Christmas/New years because they heard it is more fun that week than the other weeks"
Well first you are making the assumption that the vacation is wrecked.
Why do people here on the dis assume that people who don't do disney your way, i.e rope drop and ADR's are doomed to have a horrible vacation?
It's a pretty frustrating habit?
Listen, I've had people who have gone Christmas week, simply to look at the decorations. They come back glowing about the wonderful time they had.
Simply tell your friends about the crowds, suggest they make 1 ADR for a nice dinner.
I don't plan a schedule either and I rarely make adr's so I know it is totally possible to enjoy a disney vacation without either. I will totally admit I would never go Christmas or 4th of July. and I think rope drop is a collosial waste of time.
So I guess all my vacations have been unsalvagable also.
