It will be very, very cold. Colder than you even think it will be!

I'd not bother buying any extra fastpasses tbh as it will be very quiet during the week that it wouldn't be worth it.

I'd also not bother booking restuarants either..it's only really necessary during peak times.

I'm going in Jauary - 18th-21st.

Am taking my old park tickets to use a fastpasses but am really not expecting to need them at all, so certainly dont bother buying any.

I'm anticipating it to be very very VERY cold! Have bought thermal baselayers and thermal socks, and will be dressing in ski wear! Lol.

I won't be booking any restuarants in advance. But will go in and enquire on our first day probably. :)

When do you go? Where are you staying?

I'd say it depends on the week you are going. If you are going around 4th jan onwards, then i would anticipate it to be busy as all of the disney hotels are fully booked!!
When we went in feb half term, it wasn't fully booked, but we were glad that we had made evening restaurant reservations for the village restaurants as friends of ours that hadn't ended up waiting over an hour most evenings!!As the parks shut at 7pm, everyone then wants their evening meal in the village, and if you are doing half board (as we do), then you are even more restricted.
Just in the process of booking our restaurants - only 16 days to go!:goodvibes

Cool, well I just had a look on the DLRP site and there's still availibility in all hotels, so still not booked up.

:)

I would love it if it was really quiet! :)

A few attraction closures, but nothing serious:
