We are planning on our 11th visit to WDW for the first week in January. We are flexible with our dates. My kids want to get there on January 1st but I am afraid of the crowds. We always go in the off season or value season so we don't usually have long waits on rides. I have heard from other friends that the crowds die off starting January 2. I could handle one crazy day if we knew that past years it has died down. So I need reinforcement before I lock in my dates. HELP!!! We would love to be there to watch the fireworks on New Years Eve too but I think that would be crazy. Thanks for honest anwers and information...
