What's Up With The Week of 12/2 at Disney?

Can anyone give me some insight as to why the week of 12/2/2010 and 2011 seem to be VERY popular?

Looking back at the DVC rooms available through RCI, I notice that week never showed up in the inventory.

Also, looking ahead at some of the Disney promotions, that week in 2011 in blacked out.

Any ideas why???

Several reasons. For cash reservations, that's Pop Warner week---which pretty much sells out the values almost by itself. For DVC reservations, the first week or two of December is a *huge* draw. It's the cheapest season for DVC points usage, but all the holiday decorations, etc. are up in full force. So almost everyone without kids (and many with them) like that week.

Oddly, the parks themselves are never that busy for these early December weeks. Even though the Disney resorts are in demand, the surrounding off-property resorts are often giving good deals.

I believe that's also the weekend they film the Disney Christmas parade for later broadcast.

I know I go every year to see the Christmas lights.

It's a very popular time for DVC members as BNoble said.
