Not as bad as the days right at the holidays, but the time we did first of January, it was bad, like 8 and 9 out of 10 crowd level bad. We focused on activities that didn't involve waiting like watching the parade, long adr, and scavenger hunts. I remember it was hard in some areas to even move; just wall to wall people. This was around the 6th to 12th I think. I thought the second week would be ok, but nope.
