I don't remember seeing any holiday beside Christmas. When I first started dating my wife, back in 98, Jen and I went for christmas. My brother was moving from Miami to Austin in december of 99, so we went down with him to visit family and help him move. On the way back we spent the 22-25th in WDW. I wanted to do something extra special, not on because it was christmas, but her birthday is the 25th also. We had so much fun. I thought it would be fairly dead on Christmas, but apparantly it's the busiest day of the year. We were staying offsite, and when we got to the MK right before opening we were talking to one of the CMs and they told us that we were lucky to get in b/c they close the park to people not staying on site soon after opening b/c it gets so crowded. The funniest thing was since I thought it would be dead we didn't even think about making dinner reservations until we were in the park. We tried to get into the restaraunt in Cinderella's castle but they were booked solid, and so was the crystal palace. However when we tried to make reservations in the castle, and they told us they were booked Jen started crying b/c she didn't think we were going to have a nice sit down dinner, and the CMs asked what was wrong. I explained it was her birthday and they called right over to the crystal palace and explained the situation and they got us in. They even got all the characters in the restaraunt to sign a birthday card for her. They also all posed for a picture with her, and then gave us an 8X10 of the picture for free as a birthday gift. I've always been amazed with the service you get inside the parks, but I was absolutely blown away by all that they did for us.
Please keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle until the ride comes to a full and complete stop. Thank you, and enjoy the rest of your day here at Walt Disney World.
