Let us hear your plans!

 

[Meriweather]

No....maybe next year. We will be there in Feb. though

 

[DLtorgo]

I'm going to be there 15th, 16th and 17th. My DD is playing with her school's steel drum band on the 16th. They do this every year but this year it is aligning with MLK weekend so I hope it isn't super crowded. I'm bummed HM and Incredicoaster will be down. I really hope we get some nice weather!

[TarynM]

I'll be there with friends for the runDisney weekend, January 28th-February 2nd!

 

[DizMe]

I'll be there with my daughter (she's doing the run) and grandson Jan 29-Feb2. We're staying at GCH

 

[kikismom]

My daughter and I will be there January 17-23. It's our last trip before our MK's expire. We're going to bum around some other areas besides Disney this trip so I'm looking forward to that.

 

[disneymum58]

I will be there Jan. 2-6. I have 2 weather apps. One says a ton of rain, the other says little rain, maybe 1%. Which to believe?

 

[LKing]

Weather Underground for the amount of rain on an hourly basis. Accuweather for a written description and the "real feel."

We just decided to add a quick trip before a cruise and arrive on 1/28, going to the park only one day on 1/29. I didn’t realize it is a run Disney weekend. Will the parks be extra busy because of this?

Thank you! It’s just me and my husband. We go to WDW all the time, this is only our second time going to DL. We are going to focus on just doing the things WDW doesn’t have or is different. Any info you may have would be greatly appreciated

There are several threads started by WDW vets who are interested in what to see and do at DLR. This is the most recent and might help answer some of your questions. https://www.disboards.com/threads/wdw-vet-many-questions.3976246/
