We were there 1-25 through 1-29 and other than DHS it was fine. We saw the most tour groups at DHS on Mon. 1-26, and it did worry me about how the rest of the trip would go, but then I realized it was the only night F! was showing so that probably had a large role in it. We saw tour groups in the other parks, but not in nearly such large numbers, and we did comment that it seemed without the tour groups that the parks would have been empty!
I would definitely go again late Jan. and was trying to get DH to agree to a trip in Jan. 2010 when the boys have teacher workdays, but he doesn't want to go when it might be cold (he was there MLK weekend and said it was chilly).
It was a bit chilly MLK weekend, got into the 70's on Sunday. Wearing a windbreaker sure beat being bundled up in OH(had lows of -16 that weekend).
Glad I went.
And the Brazillian Groups were going strong then too. A big group about got kicked out of the Lion King show at AK when we were there, plus my 7 yr old son was "clotheslined" by a couple of the girls. It was pretty interesting when they saw my DH(who's 6'4" ) they turned and ran. About knocked down half their own group "trying to get lost". I think that may have been the same group that we saw escorted out of AK by Disney security.
. He said he did see the tour groups mostly in DHS and AK (which is where we ran into them a week later ), but they didn't bother him since he was by himself
