Going to DL Jan 19, 20 & 21st of this coming year, how is the crowd levels. Has there been any postings of ride closures yet?
Ride closures: Haunted Mansion and/or Small World will be closed to remove the holiday overlay at that time. I don't think they do them both at once but there may be some overlap in days. Usually Haunted Mansion is first then Small World. Also the rumor is that Matterhorn will be closed the first half of 2012.
I expect crowds to be low.
Agreed, about as low as crowds can be on a weekend.
With the extended Holiday Season this year the closures to remove the overlays may overlap and extend to the OPs dates.
Check the weather before you leave. An umbrella may be handy then.

I was agreeing with you because usually they try to stagger these closures. But I wanted to point out with the way the dates fall it may not be possible to do it to neatly this year. They try to get ride capacity(which is large for both of these attractions) ready for MLK weekend by getting one of them up and ready.Totally forgot about that too.
Hmm, I hadn't thought about that. I forgot that the holiday season is extended in 2012. We were tentatively planning to go Jan 16-21, but maybe going Jan 9-14 would be safer so HM will still be open? Ugh, I just don't know what to do!I would have thought the OP's dates were safe since I forgot about the extended holiday. In any case, I need to make my decision soon so I can ask for the time off from work.
What does extended holiday for 2012 mean? Will the park still be decorated the second week of January? We are coming January 8, and was wondering if we would be able to see any of the holiday decorations at that time. Thanks for any info...
I will check DL probably Thursday & Friday and do Disney Adventure on Saturday. I think that will be my best bet.
So sad if Small World is closed, may seem silly but its one of the things I remember first seeing on my first trip to Disney world when I was a kid. My daughter would like it as she loves dolls. Well there's only hope it might be open.
Touringplans.com has crowd levels for those days as follows:
Jan. 19: DL 1.9 out of 10, DCA 5.8 out of 10
Jan. 20: DL 4.6/10, DCA 4.6/10
Jan. 21: DL 4.3/10, DCA 4.8/10
Have you found these numbers to be accurate?
If you are a subscriber, can you check on the week of October 24, 2011 and January 9, 2012?
I wouldn't mind paying for the subscription if they have a history of being accurate.
Thanks.

Subscribers have to agree to keep this info to themselves. It wouldn't be fair for one person on the Dis to get a subscription and share the paid information with everyone. I also believe it's against dis policy to post such info.
