And we'll all be willing to buy two admission passes for each day we visit the parks!

Ummmmmmmmmm, no.

I was just surprised that 2 big attractions would be down over MLK weekend - a very busy weekend.

MLK weekend is traditionally not a very busy weekend.

I've heard from a couple people that World of Life Pavilion will be open at Epcot during TT refurb. If this is the case I'll be a happy man as I've never seen it open when I've been there.

Looks like I'm gonna hit Buzz, TT, and Splash on my trip. When I first heard about TT- we decided to not go to Epcot this trip. Well, I can't skip MK. However, I am highly disappointed that both Buzz and Splash will be down. More so Buzz- I was determined to beat DS and DH this time.

I am kind of glad that Buzz is getting refurbed. The last few times we were on it there were problems with either the car or the blasters. It is a fairly boring ride if you can't turn or blast things.

I must comment about some of the statements here. First, Jan is a slow time, but so is Sept and October and there were no MAJOR rides closed like TT and Splash, and Buzz is a huge draw too. Also I really feel sorry for those people that will miss all three of those rides! We have been lots of times in January, and yes have hit things on refurb. but NEVER more than one thing at a time. What I do remember is that when Space Mtn was closed, big thunder and Splash were much more crowded. So with Buzz and Splash closed at the same time, I can only imagine what Space and Big thunder will be like. Also makes Soarin that much more crowded if TT closed.

And Presidents weekend is very busy! Lots of FL residents go then! It's noticeably more crowded in MK, and MGM, and AK when we were there!

What does worry me as well is that the UG shows Late Jan early Feb crowds ranging from 5-7. I think Jan has become a popular "off season" (AND again the UG book had Sept and Oct crowds at 4-5, and no biggies were closed...well except for hurricane closing)
