Molly- It was so nice meeting you that day. It was really sweet of you to mention Ellie and Bennett in the video. They freaked out when they saw the stickers they gave you and when they heard their names. Thank you! Jessica

It absolutely amazes me that people voluntarily go to Disney World when it's so busy like this. I feel like it would be terrible hauling around kids/family members through the crowds and standing in super long lines. I'm completely baffled that there are some families who make this a tradition of going at this time of year. Makes me feel better about going when it's not as crazy as this.

Loving all the fan interruptions on poor Molly! You're being recognized more ;) Keep up the awesome videos, you're a true Disney Fan and a character! Thanks for spreading magic!

This is brave journalism right here! Way to go Molly!

I would never survive that crowd for the fireworks. Anxiety just watching that.

I always look forward to these videos on Wednesdays. It's the perfect time during my break and gives me something entertaining to watch. Doesn't matter what type of video it is. If it's Molly, I'm there, I'm watching.

My anxiety was acting up just watching this

As much as would love to be there at Christmastime, no thank you. I could never handle those crowds. UGH.

i couldnt fathom a line for the PEOPLE MOVER. the most attractive part of it is that it doesnt have a line

Molly always has the most incredible makeup, she should do a tutorial video

those kids and their stickers made my day and Im just watching the video lol

This is the reason I go in mid January/ mid February!! I couldn’t handle waiting that long 👀

I could NOT go to the parks in the peak. Whoa. More power to y'all!

As an annual passholder (silver) I see these crowds and I just think...why would you go at this time of year? I'm blacked out around the time this was filmed and I have always said I rather not go during the blackout days anyway because of crowd sizes. This just confirms that lol.

So glad you guys did a video for this...I have always bn curious ab Disney on NYE. This gives insight! Thanks so much for posting!

Oh and I love all your vlogs Molly!! Thank you for the great tips.

Molly, you need to start a "molly knows best" youtube channel and review products or whatever. Your an excellent speaker and a natural in front of the camera!

molly is the bomb...Happy New Year Molly!!!! keep those videos coming!

Thank you for this video!! So informative.

It was a full day at the MK very magical but also very tired, thanks Molly for your efforts. Big hugs to you! 👍🏼❣️

We were there the same day (Dec 30th). Got there early and stayed all day! Thanks to watching all your videos, I had our dinner at Be Our Guest booked and all our fast passes booked WAY ahead of time. Our day worked like clockwork...and we did do mobile order for Columbia Harbor House that afternoon for lunch. We literally did SO much! And when it got a bit later, we walked on to Pirates and Jingle Cruise and a bunch of other things after our dinner at B.O.G. I was so impressed with how well our day went, thanks to all the advice from allears.net. Thank you!

My husband and I were laughing at you shouting. He was like, ‘why is she yelling?’ I said it’s crowded at MK. Your videos are awesome!

Hey Molly, you know how Disney takes pictures of you on the rides? I'd love to see a video of "Where" on the ride do they take those pics. Thanks - Mollie

Molly, I love watching your videos. I can totally relate to the way you approach Disney. I live in California so I don’t get to the Florida parks as much as I’d like. Thanks for taking me along on your adventures and spreading the Disney magic :)

I was at Disney world when it reached full capacity and even though it was busy it wasn’t as crazy as this!

Great video. Good to see because I would never plan to go at that time. As always, great job Molly!

i love Molly, she is the best

Passed by you in EPCOT while you were with your significant other.... didn't want to bother... we love your videos..

Wow you are brave to go the week between Christmas and New Years. Thanks for sharing and the tips 😊

Molly, your videos keep me sane

Another great and informative video! Thanks Molly!

We were in that mess this year. It was a tough week with the wait times pushing 3 hours at times...We had a great time, but we saw a lot of people upset.

We were just there in November over Veteran’s weekend and it was at least this crowded, it was crazy. Cast members were even saying it was way busier than usual for that time of year. It was crowded to the point of hardly being fun. We’re going back first of May for a do-over, hoping for MUCH smaller crowds, only doing the parks on weekdays, not weekend.

We were there that day at the parade! We really enjoyed meeting you! Great video capturing how crazy it was. We were celebrating our friend’s birthday and at 8:20 Kristoff wishes her a happy birthday. Thanks for capturing that moment, none of us had our cameras rolling then!

At the end of the day instead of monorail, ferry or bus you should have walked to the Contemporary and had a cocktail at Wave.

Very informative video because you learn what the relative wait times are for the different attractions and a good strategy for handling the situations. I’ve never seen a video of Disney World presented quite this way. I’d like to see more videos done in the same way, just like we’re right there with you in the trenches figuring out the best solution for the particular problem before us.

Went to Disney for the first time this year on the 29th-3rd..although very busy, we were able to ride more than we expected! Can't wait to go again.

I went to magic kingdom on New Year’s Eve too!

We're going during spring break...march 15th-21st...im a nervous mom wreck! So using a lot of your tips and ticks for going to the parks and being there while its crowded. Cant wait til the next vlog!

We were so happy that we got to meet the 7Dwarfs at Mickey’s Christmas party. Being Disney hotel guests are a plus for the perks that you get to enjoy including the transportation services and the Magical Express. No worries about driving. Cast members were amazing. We also got to do 3 Magical Character dining experiences at Tusker, Be our Guest and Akershus❤️ all with excellent food and service. Thanks again for all your tips.

About 10 years ago when the kids were younger we went between Christmas and New Years. I never say never - but if I did - I would say never again. Pretty crazy busy. And there are even more people there these days. Always love your take on things Molly.

What in the cracker barrel cheese stick :) my nerves are shot looking at the crowd levels. Lawd why did I book my vacation 12/19 - 01/02/21. Yall pray for me next year and thank you, Molly, for all of the hard work.

We go in May and the crowd is large however after watching this I will not complain about it this year good informative video again thanks

We did this last Christmas at MK. Oye the lines were just as bad. We left by 2pm to go resort hopping. I can't see spending 3 hours for 7DMT, it was fun but not 3 hours fun. We're not going to come around the holidays again. It was fun but the crowds are too much.

I’ve always been curious what it would be like to be there during this insane time but I’ll never go then so thanks for showing us!!

Molly the Courageous when the MK is crowded💪🏻👱🏻‍♀️❤️! She always takes one for the team!🥰 Thanks Molly! Love the vids!

We were there last Christmas. It was packed but we were able to cover what we wanted except for the Rise of Resistance at Disney Hollywood. The special ticketed event - Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party was amazing, not a lot of people compared to regular park hours. So we were able to do a lot during that event. Thanks for all tips and videos. It helped a lot.

The huge smile before 'Fan interaction' comes on screen is so sweet. Yay for more Molly fans.

Thanks for doing what I would NEVER do! Although I will admit it didn't look too bad at times. :) Thanks for shed shedded shedding light too. :) Go Clemson!

Loved your video, Very well done.... :o)

Happy to have this time blacked out on my pass......Molly deserves ALL the "Adult Beverages" for this one....and a massage.....and a new pair of ears......

watching this and feeling legendary getting on space mountain twice in 20 mins

Molly, I'm crushing on you! hehe Would love to see you wandering the parks one day - Would be fun to see a "That's Molly" balloon over my head! Keep up the great work, my daughter and I love watching you give us all your insights into the parks.

Oh Molly, Bless you for braving those crowds, they can definitely get a little crazy, but great video and information. Is it possible to do a video with a wheelchair or ECV to show how easy or challenging it is to get around the rides on those

First and second week (around november 8th) are the best time to experience all the holiday stuff but without any of the crazier ques - Specially at the weekdays of that period. They had most of the holiday stuff up in the parks and weather was really good at the time. Johan.

We are headed to Disney World on November 6th. Good to hear that is a nice time to go.

Carousel of Progress is the best...glad it is being utilized and it needs to be more than a fall back position

Love your videos!! What type of makeup do you wear? It seems to stay on a long time and that would be fabulous for me for our upcoming trip!!

Our family went for the 1st time the BETWEEN week in 2019. While still being far too crowded to our likings, it is doable. My recommendation is rope drop and stay till the parks close with a nice long nap in between. We went on Rise 3x so it was nice getting done the major HS thrill rides during that earlier period. I suggest you get your Rise BG, ride Slinky/TSM or RnRC/ToT, and then hop over to AK & rope drop FoP, then do Safari & Everest before returning back to HS for your Rise BG timeslot. This works unless you get a BG below 35ish. We did this strategy twice and thankfully our BGs were 41 and 71, so it worked out perfectly. Also if EMH for MK are to 2AM, stay out until it closes. Youll need that time to get in some short standbys. Then its wake up at 6am again with 3hrs sleep. Basically if you want to do the BETWEEN week best, think of yourselves as nocturnal. Nap at night, sleep during the day. Youll be at the parks in the dark in the morning, and in the dark at nite. Personally, I love WDW in the dark best with all the lights plus BETWEEN week has all the Xmas decorations. Better than I expected but of course youll need a day of pure rest and recovery from your vacation.

Thank you for doing one with my request!

The Most defeated person I have ever seen was a Magic Kingdom Cast Member working the ferry boats on 12/30/18 returning to the parking lot. A million people and not a single person listening to him. You could tell it had been that way all day.

My family went on New Year's Eve 2012, and it was crazy! It was super loud cause they gave out hats and horns, and we followed the sound of the horns to the booth where they were giving them out. We stood behind the castle for the fireworks and they were wonderful! It was really jarring to be backstage and listening to non Disney music, but it was also really cool and a unique experience! I'll never forget it!

i will be coming in december 30 to universal orlando and disney world love ur videos

I was in Disney World that same week in 2015 (into 2016), and we still had a terrific time. We made really good use of FastPasses in the middle of the day and used the time at the beginning and end of the day to ride some other big-ticket rides, and just had some fun wandering around and enjoying each other's company. It was insanely crowded for sure, but what better place to ring in the New Year? One big highlight was going down Splash Mountain as the fireworks went off-- there was almost no line during the fireworks show and an amazing view from the top of the drop! A nice cast member also gave us free FastPasses to RocknRoller Coaster on New Year's Eve because my siblings and I were contemplating getting in the single rider line. Lines at Animal Kingdom were also super short early in the morning on New Year's Day because everyone was sleeping in after NYE.

Hi. I love watching your videos. Great content and awesome tips for Disneyworld. I have a question that I'm sure you've probably answered before, but I am curious to what camera you use for your vlogs, especially for you nighttime content?

I've been to Anaheim and Orlando many times, once on consecutive days. I know that Orlando is always less dense than Anaheim. Regarding crowds... The daytime footage looks like a moderate day at Disneyland. The nighttime footage looks like a normal day at Disneyland.

I was there the next day on New Year’s Eve! It wasn’t as bad as I thought, I was with a group of 10 (including 2 children, 5 & 7). I made fast passes for the harder to get rides (space mountain, jungle cruise and splash mountain). At rope drop lines were all relatively short considering the day, space mountain an hour after rope drop was only 45 minutes vs later in the day when it was 4 hours, then temporarily closed. We were able to get on all the major thrill rides more than once except for 7 dwarves which peaked at 4 hours wait time!

I don’t know why but “ok but where’s buzz” had me cracking up

During the fireworks they should really just have cast members waling through the crowds selling Turkey legs, chimichangas, sodas, popcorn - like they do at ball games lol.

I really hope crowd levels won’t be to crazy while we visit the parks for the first time. We arrive a few days after Presidents Day so the rest of that week could be a thing, but I really hope it won’t be to bad the rest of the month and the first week of March

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😲😲😲 I’m actually relieved it will not be going back to this level of crowding anytime this year 2021.

It was funny, we were there for Marathon Weekend; and I had to say. At the airport and everything, it was just as busy as spring break. I was shocked. I could understand holidays, but even at Disney Springs. People everywhere.

I went to epcot on new year’s eve 2017 going into 2018, and it was incredible crowded but not hectic! my family had a great time :) we stayed at the american pavilion at night because they were playing latin music all night and everyone was dancing, it was a blast!

I’ve been in the magic kingdom on a december 25th and GOODNESS. What a huge mistake :’)

Just got home to the UK from Disney and this was the busiest Christmas I have seen, It was so crazy that i’m afraid this will be my last holiday season at Disney World (4th Christmas in 10 years). Strongly recommended going in off season if you can!

I enjoyed eating at Aunt Polly's on NYE (pulled pork sliders on biscuits and I got a root beer float). It was crowded like this (the line for Philharmagic actually ran in to the back of the line for Peter Pan), but if you plan to go to your top priorities ad get fast passes for those, you will be fine. You also get the benefit of eating at places like Aunt Polly's that are not normally open.

I highly recommend for families the Memory Maker ( the one that Disney Official photographers take with extra fee and will be linked to your Disney App), and make sure to request for the Magic shots coz they were all so cool esp the one at Galaxy’s Edge👍🏼

Went on this exact date in 2013, and surprisingly I managed to get on a lot of rides without fast passes! And it was pretty busy imo. I’m guessing it just got busier over the years. But this was fun to watch, reminds me of my first trip to WDW/Magic Kingdom.

Do another similar video for all the parks but under more normal crowd conditions. We learn so much about what to expect for the wait times for the different attractions. For example I learned on this video that PhilharMagic is normally a walk on attraction.

Going on rides during the fireworks/parades is a great tip. I went on The Little Mermaid, Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Pirates all within an hour one time because the nighttime parade was going on.

Wow!!! Total insanity!!!

Insane

Coconut Dole whip was at Aloha Isle that day! 😮

I wonder if Mickey is ever the same and recognizes you lol. Super cute, last pic of the decade

Hi Molly, I just started watching your videos and you are so awesome! I can’t wait for my family’s trip in May to WDW. Being from CA, it has been years since we were last there. I’m looking fwd to utilizing your tips & tricks. On another note, luv your Minnie earrings. Are they from Kate Spade? Daisy

maybe i just have a lot of patience but i don't mind the crazy disney crowds at all lol! i was at magic kingdom on december 30th and at epcot on new year's eve! i saw both of the special firework shows and it was completely worth it!

I was at Disney World from 12/29-1/4. I saw you filming at Pop on 1/3. Regarding the crowds, I knew it would be busy when I planned my vacation and my expectations were appropriately set. I do think we got a lot accomplished because we scheduled our fast passes in advance and scored FPs for the big rides. We also did the EMH each night they were offered and was able to ride many of the rides with lesser wait times. I will NEVER again travel to Disney between Christmas and New Year's. I had a great time but there were just way too many people and lines were ridiculous.

I was in that mob of people near the Tea Party ride. We was on Buzz during the Fireworks

What a great video! What are the crowds like on January 1st? And where did you get those earrings?

Thanks for the video. Hope to see you in the Park one day but definitely afraid to interrupt your video. Took my daughter there from the 26th thru Jan 3rd. We had a great time. We actually rode every ride on New Years eve at the Magic Kingdom. We were in the park fo 18 hrs. Can’t believe we did it. Look forward to your next video? Have you done a challenge where u tried to meet the most characters in a day yet?

brilliant ...love you molly xoxoxoxoxox

Crazy crowded for sure. I learned this lesson going to Disneyland one Christmas too close to Christmas day. Never again.

I was at Disney (dec 12-20) and the crowd was congested. And it was supposedly a low season time at Disney.

i was there on 2-13-20 it was so cool my 1st time there

Molly, you are a trooper for sure. Ty for sharing how crazy it is during this time.

Since you can't have a selfie stick, do you have someone with you filming? The color and clarity is great. Everything from close up to far away is in great focus.

On the Minnie Van point, it is great if you can get one, but I couldn't get one midday New Year's Eve.

I was skiing that day

We were there on the same day! So sad we didn’t run into you! But there were a ton of people that day!

Halloween time at Disney is way better than Christmas time for sure.
