Hello. I booked a vacation for me and the family to visit the parks this December (16-22). Will be doing a 5-day hopper tickets.
I know that’s probably one of the busiest time of year, so had a few questions for you disneyland regulars:
1. We've done wdw a few times during the last week or two leading up to christmas. I know how busy it gets but never felt it got extremely overwhelming. Should I expect the crowds to be similar to wdw or does it get even worse?
2. Would 5 park days be enough to experience most of the unique attractions that disneyland/dca have to offer? Assuming genie+ and individual lightning use where available. It would seem like it to me but I also notice that many attractions don't have lightning lanes. Was hoping it'd be enough if I skip the (almost) replicas like the different star wars rides, mickey&minnie, soarin, etc.
3. Would parades and fireworks remain the same for regular day visitors and then switch to holiday versions for after hour events? Or do they simply switch all of them to holiday versions? I like all the holiday decorations and ride overlays, but was hoping I'd catch the regular world of color, fantasmic, wondrous journey, magic happens, etc.
