Have you traveled to Orlando for the busiest week of the year?! What's been your experience??

[@debraevans6993]

One of our favorite meals was at Today Cafe. They had great sandwiches and awesome pastries.

[@Dillon.Thomas]

@debraevans6993 yes! I wish we would have tried them earlier, but now we know! It's so good 😋

[@destinationdero]

Nice overview guys. Happy New Year

[@Dillon.Thomas]

Appreciate it! Thank you, and Happy New Year! 😄🎉

First 2 weeks of December is best time to go

[@Dillon.Thomas]

It was pretty casual the first 2 weeks, still a little busy, but the last 2 weeks of the month have been CRAZY crowded. Definitely busier than the past few years from what I was seeing!

Been visiting the parks during that week - it has been CRAZY everywhere! I'm liking the new digital signs - looking forward to signs outside the park to work. Dessert before dinner.... - LOL - I have to remember this! I like the idea of a Ghostbusters area! Be well.

[@Dillon.Thomas]

Yes!! It was the busiest I've seen it since we've moved down. And I imagine with Epic opening this year, it's going to be a WILD winter in 2025 with the tourism haha. The new digital signs are great! The camera struggles to pick them up because they're soooo bright haha, but REALLY easy to read. Dessert before dinner, you'll never be thinner. Thank me later! 😂

I’ll be there in 2 weeks. Hoping it won’t be so crowded. Happy New Year 🎉

[@Dillon.Thomas]

I definitely think the crowds will start to fade over the next week and in 2 weeks, I would GUESS the crowds would be much more tame by then. I know there's a Run Disney coming up soon, though, which always brings crowds. Happy New Year! 😊

We were there on Dec. 24, 25, and 26. Crowds/waits on the 24th were amazing, but got progressively worse 25th and 26th. We did enjoy Studios between 7-10pm on the 26th though and crowds were very light and we went on several rides back to back. I totally agree with you on the pizza - DreamWorks cafe is by far the best around Universal.

[@Dillon.Thomas]

Ya, it seemed like before Christmas it was totally fine. Then Christmas was hit or miss on the parks. But afterward, I didn't see rides have ANY drop in wait times for the normal hours you would expect. CRAZY how much more busy it feels this year than previous years. DreamWorks pizza is the hidden gem people don't know about yet!

[@TheSMCCOLE]

My birthdays the 30th. Tried a week in the parks. Never again.

[@Dillon.Thomas]

LOL, agreed! It's been SUPER busy the past 2 weeks and honestly even more so than previous years.

[@TheSMCCOLE]

@@Dillon.Thomas I expect crowds and longer waits, not a noob. However.... especially in Disney Parks.... guests aren't so holly jolly and more entitled and aggressive lol. Strollers are NOT a battering ram.
