Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 So as usual I have waited to long to make reservations. I will be calling tomorrow to check for any earlier cancelations but the computer is showing sites available durning pop warner.My question is has anyone been to the parks while they are there? (I really have no idea what pop warner is other then it looks like a lot of kids descending on Disney) Are the parks, buses and other attractions packed with kids and are they behaved?We have been going going to Disney the first or second week after Thanksgiving for several years and I don't ever remember there being any problems. Though I'm not sure we were ever there the same time and weren't staying on property.This trip was always something we did with my grandmother to see the Christmas decorations and this will be our first Christmas since she has passed and really want to continue the tradition.We don't have a problem with kids and I'm probably imaging the worst in me head but all I can think about is a ton of unsupervised kids running around Disney like maniacs. Please tell me I'm wrong( or not)! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Um, the parks aren't impacted much by Pop Warner. Pop Warner is little kid football (and cheerleaders) and they spend most of their time at Wide World of Sports. As long as you are not at All-Star Sports that week, you are fine. Also, I think there is also a private after hours party for the kids at one of the parks, so a lot of them their park time is confined to that. I have heard some horror stories about how they behave at the resort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 We would be staying at the Fort ( oops guess I forgot to say that ) and that's good to hear about the parks. We will have our AP's so if we end up at a park that's busy we can always move to another. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Oh and thank you for the information. I had my self thinking those worst, but I have to remember we will be at the Fort and Disney so it can't be bad! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McMonsters..........Kelly 48 Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 We did have reservations during that time but had to push them back a week. I did a ton of research on the Pop Warner week and you shouldn't have to worry about them if you are staying at the Fort. THe kids apparently get rowdy because they out number the adult chaperones. Something else to think about, they are doing the parade taping the weekend of the 7th so you may want to steer clear of the Magic Kingdom during that time. Have a great time!

Hmmm, who could that person or those persons be? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 All booked we will be @ the Fort Dec 8-14th. Can't wait! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have a great time!YES, the MK parade taping is FAR FAR worse than Pop Warner(unless you are silly enough to book a room at All-Star Sports that weekend). Avoid Magic Kingdom Saturday that weekend, and if it rains on Saturday, avoid Magic Kingdom on Sunday also!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was also the only time I have scene the cargo hold on the magic express buses filled to max capacity. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
