***Official January 2026 Thread***

Not sure what I'm doing, but it appears that there is no official January 2026 thread yet, so here we go!!

I'll keep this post strictly for a Roll Call, updating it as we go. I'm going to do another post with some info on my trip.

So, who's in?!?!?!?!

ROLL CALL

January 19-25: Suze10860 - Yacht Club
January 23-31: liquid17 - POFQ

Hey there!

Here is the current plan for us:

4 adults and 2 kids
My husband and I, our daughter, her husband, and their 2 kids (2 and 4 at the time of the trip), my sister, and her friend

We'll arrive at the YC on Monday, January 19 - MLK Day, and then enjoy 5 days at the parks with Park Hopper passes. We have 3 rooms booked, checking out on Sunday, January 25.

I know that MLK weekend is probably a busy time, but I'm hoping that the following week will not be too crazy.

YAY!!

I'm planning a trip for January 23-31 at POFQ for 6 adults, 3 rooms. Two travel days, 7 park days, with Park Hoppers.

Three of my four children (and one is bringing her husband and its his first trip!) are planning to come. We feel sad about leaving the grandchildren (almost 5 and 15m) but my oldest and her husband want to wait till the baby is older.

Our last trip was just my husband and me; my kids haven't been since 2019, before Covid, so they're quite excited!! And my daughter wants to give her husband a great experience so he'll be down for future trips. So I think the planning will really be for three different trips - relaxed for my husband and me, gogogo for my 2 20somethings, and carefully curated for the newbie! We're planning to eat together once aday and we'll likely do some LLs together

We're all Star Wars fans so Galaxy's Edge is number one on their lists. Our first day is the Skyliner's last day before it's down for a week and that's also high on their lists. And we're all looking forward to enjoying the Festival of the Arts again.

I hope it's ok to say that TP shows mostly 5-6 that week.

Hello!!

I've been checking Thrill Data, and our time period seems solidly in the "average" zone. Who knows how accurate that is, but I don't think I can ask for more.

On their site, the only real periods that show up as "light" are in very late August and most of September. While planning this trip with my daughter and family, the number one concern for them was the heat. They live in Colorado and do not do well in heat or humidity. And since January was just a better time in general for them to travel, that's what we went for. I'll keep my fingers crossed for crowds and weather and continue to remind myself that it will be wonderful, no matter what!!!

We've been in January 5 times and it can get very cold but we've also had days in the 80s. so we bring our winter coats/gloves/scarves (we're in the northeast so we'd need them anyway for the trips to/from the airport) and pack lots of layers.
