What is the weather like? I have heard its jeans and sweet shirt (jumpers) weather and maybe a light jacket. Can anyone comment further? Do we need gloves a hat etc How busy are the parks? Are the line times bad? Where should we have Christmas dinner in Orlando? I have heard Emeril's in Universal Studios in Orlando and The Gaylord Palms are two off the best, has anyone had Christmas dinner at either of these? Is it expensive? Thanks for your time|||Depends on when precisely you are going in December. I assume you are talking from Mid – December to early January (just after New Years). Do realize that this is their busiest time of the year. Crowded parks is an understatement at this time of the year. We go every year at this time, since my in-laws live in FL, so I know Christmas & New Years at Disney well. Here’s my answer’s to your questions: WHAT IS THE WEATHER LIKE? I usually wear Jeans, a short sleeve shirt for the daytime and bring along a sweatshirt for night time. It can be warm during the day, but chilly at night (especially at Epcot due wind off the lake!) DO WE NEED HATS, GLOVES, ETC…. I would say watch the weather. If its raining, then I’d take a hat. Or if you’re just prone to being cold, bring it along – you can always leave it in your car or rent a locker. HOW BUSY ARE THE PARKS? ARE THE LINES BAD? Yes, the parks are busy!! They get crowded quickly, so go early – be there when they open and get fast passes for popular rides. They go very quickly. As far as lines go – well let me put it this way – Test track, Soarin, and Mission Space can be a 2-3+ hour wait. Spaceship Earth and other rides like the living seas, Journey into Imagination, ect…were a 1 – 1.5 hour wait on New Years. And that just Epcot (their largest park). Magic Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom are smaller parks size wise, so you will feel like its more crowded there. WHERE SHOULD WE HAVE CHRISTMAS DINNER IN ORLANDO? If you can get a reservation I highly recommend the restaurant at Canda - Le Cellier Steakhouse. It’s awesome. Some other thoughts (maybe even just for a regular mean non Christmas day) - If you have kids or even if you don’t, Germany’s Biergarten is always fun (but it is German food buffet style). As for other restaurants non Epcot Chef Mickey’s is great at the Contemporary Hotel (kid friendly again buffet style). Cape May Café is great at the Beach Club Hotel (Seafood) as if the Flying Fish at the Boardwalk. I HAVE HEARD EMERIL’s IN UNIVERSAL STUDIOS AND THE GAYLORD PALMS ARE TWO OF THE BEST: I have had Easter Dinner at the Gaylord and it was amazing! Not sure how expensive it is though sorry! As for Emeril’s I have had a regular meal there and it too was amazing. Both are worth the cost. OTHER TIPS: If you go on New Year’s Eve – This is the single most crowded day. If you want to go to Magic Kingdom or Disney's Hollywood Studios GET THERE EARLY! These two parks will max out and close their ticket gates a few hours after they open. Epcot never really maxes out, but it will be very crowded. Mid –day you will see people start to line the grass area’s and concrete area’s with blankets & such and they’ll start sitting there in preparation of saving their spot for the fireworks on New Year’s eve. This is the ONLY day I have ever seen porta-potties in Epcot! More Tips: Go see the Osborn Family spectical of Lights at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Take the time to see and listen to the different Santa Clauses at Epcot. It’s a neat Christmas-ish thing to do. They give an explanation on Christmas in their country. Epcot also has Candellight Processional – A Christmas Choral narrative about baby Jesus. You have to pay for it if you want to sit down, but you can stand in the back and listen. It is usually narrated by someone famous and they bring in choral groups from across the country to sing. Wear comfy shoes and bring lots of patience and you’ll be fine. :) Have a great trip! PS...I do not think it is too early to plan for dinner. I would book now! Especially if you're looking at Disney for dinner. Christmas can get booked up early, so it's always a good idea to call and at least ask if you can go ahead and make the reservation. What's the worst they can say? - No please call back? If so, just ask what's the earliest you can make the reservation.|||We're going to Orlando this Christmas as well! :D The weather is gorgeous in December. It's not humid, not freezing cold, just the right temperature. Of course, you won't be able to wear only a tank top and shorts, but that shouldn't really matter. High 73°-Low 51° I'm not sure what kind of clothing you wear in that weather, so I'm leaving that decision up to you. :) The parks are extremely busy around this time of year. If I were you, I would start planning now. Especially if you're visiting Disney World; that's the busiest time of the year for them. If you want dinner reservations or such, you can call ahead 180 days to recieve them. As for Christmas dinner, it's a bit early to plan for that. About a month or so before you travel, search for 'Christmas Dinners in Orlando' and a site such as this http://orlando.about.com/od/seasonalevents/qt/christmasbuffet.htm Have a wonderful time! Orlando is one of the best places to be. :D|||the weather is pretty chilly i know disney is super super super super crowded from like the week before christmas til a few days after new years. Chef mickeys would be a fun place for christmas dinner. You will probably need to check the weather before you go because when i went for new years it was super cold but once when i went in mid january it wasnt that cold|||Hello This can help you to find nice hotel deals.we can check and compare current hotel prices along with reviews at “hotels combined” ------------------- Besthotelbookingguide.com ------------------- good luck!.......
