And as long as you avoid Thanksgiving week and Christmas week, the crowds really aren’t that bad. The entire resort goes all-out to decorate everything, with huge themed Christmas trees in each of the parks and each of the resorts, and the spectacular Castle Dreamlights draped onto Cinderella Castle. Friday and Saturday are transition days for park visitors, especially in the summer months. If your vacation dates are flexible, plan to arrive to the Orlando area on Thursday.
