diberry said:We went in December 2004 and November 2005 and preferred November largely because it was bitterly cold in December but much milder in November. We aren't bothered about the Christmas market and the only show that doesn't start until December is le Noel de Mickey but you still have Belle's Musical Medley and Mickey's Winter Wonderland which are both great. The most important aspects for us are the Enchanted Fairytale Ceremony and Fantillusion which run from the start of the Christmas season and you get all the other goodies such as snow in Main Street, all the Christmas decorations, Santa Claus, the Christmas Parade etc. I would definitely recommend November - it's also less busy in the parks than in December so you can get on rides much quicker and generally move around the park more easily. Our trip reports from last November are here:

Yes, all of the rides apart from Storybook ride, as Reid says, which is never open in the winter - (and Autopia, which is just never open at all!!) Everything else was open as usual.humbug83 said:Hi diberry
Were most of the rides open when you went?
