How to plan December 21

If you have to do Hollywood Studios, be at the gates for rope drop and ride the headliners first. Disney lists 1-day, 1-park tickets from $184 before tax for this date (price as of Nov 3). Disney prices by date, so a higher price usually signals a busier day. Crowd levels are Rope Drop News forecasts and can change as the date gets closer.
