this year. Was it crowded? The hours? Any answers would be great.
 
We went over MLK weekend and did not think that it was too bad at all. MK closed at 8pm that weekend, AK at 5pm, Epcot at 930pm, did not get to MGM.

Lines wern't bad and had no trouble getting PS's the same day.

Another good time to go.
 
We went for the marathon this Jan. but waited until the monday after the race to hit the parks. Lineups were excellent usually 10-15 mins for most rides! We had only gone at Easter before so we found this to be a big change. I think most parks were open until 7 or 8. When we went to MGM we felt like we were the only ones there! TOT and RNR were both walk-ons!!! :cool1: We had great weather and swam everyday(although, we're canadian so if the pond ain't frozen,we're swimming! ;) ) HTH, we'll never go at Easter again.
 
We usually go in January and enjoy the parks, just avoid the marathon week. We went the week of the 18th and had 10-15min waits. The only downside was the weather the last 2 years was in the 40's on some days. Mk is usually open till 7pm or 8pm, ak is open til 5pm, mgm about 7pm, and epcot til about 7 and 9pm for the countries.
 

We usually go on Jan 2. We like it as lines are always short. I think this is the time alot of Europeans head there. We usually feel like we are in another country as everyone around us is speaking another language. I remember being on the bus and being the only English speaker there. IMO it is a great time to go.
 
We were there January 12 - 15. The first 2 days the weather was amazing! Temp's were in the high 70's, the last 2 days it was cooler. Crowds were non-existant on the 12 & 13 - walked on to everything! The weekend started to get more crowded and Sat. was very busy, at least in the MK. We are planning the same time next year!
 
We were there Jan. 3-7. It was more crowded then we expected but still very doable. Using fastpass we didn't wait more then 20 min. for anything.
 
We go often in Jan. Crowds have always been excellent (compared to going in Aug or October). We get more done in 4 days than we do in 8 days during busy times. Weather is unpredictable and we've had everything from 30's to 80's. This year we went the week before MLK on a Monday thru Thurs and crowds were SUPER. The worst wait was for Mission Space, we had to wait for more people to show up so we could fill the pods!!

Have fun...and I'll be there so say hi when you see me :banana:
