**The Official January 2012 WDW Thread**

[readytogotodisney]

Does anyone want to help me plan my days out? We are looking at going January 8-13. We like to go to MK our first day there just to go. Usually our last day is spent there as well (the 12th). We won't be going to the parks on the 13th. Also, we'd like another full day at MK somewhere in between those 2. Not sure if we are going to do EP, AK, or HS on the other 2 days we have.

What would you guys suggest for a 4 year old? We did EP and AK last year but not HS. Wouldn't mind trying there. So I guess it's then between AK or EP for the other day.

Also, we usually get there early but don't stay too late in the day. It's just too much and not relaxing to us. We don't really need to see parades, fireworks, etc as we saw them this year. We're trying to do a relaxing trip this time.

Also, we going back and forth on doing CRT. Do you think for that time of year that there would be openings if we just walked up or maybe booked it once we arrive at our hotel?

So this is what I have:

Jan 8: MK (won't be getting there until later afternoon; will it be extremely busy?)
Jan 9:
Jan 10:
Jan 11:
Jan 12: MK
Jan 13: leave

Thanks for any insight!

Looking at the free touring plans, I would do this...
Jan 8: MK
Jan 9: MK
Jan 10: HS
Jan 11: EP
Jan 12: MK
Jan 13: leave

Also for CRT, I am willing to bet that regardless of what time of year you go it will almost always be booked solid. So if you're thinking that you want to do it I would book it, worst case you cancel a few days before your trip and get your $ back.

We are booked from Jan-1 to Jan- 8th. We are staying the first night at the Pop then the rest of the time at the BC. We made all our ADR and booked the KTTK tour so now I am just going to sit and browse the Disboards fro the next 5 month's.

Well, I checked our plans and we are arriving on the 5th so the plans are slightly different:

Jan 5: Arrival no park
Jan 6: MK
Jan 7: AK
Jan 8: MK
Jan 9: Epcot
Jan10HS
Jan11:MK

Not sure if this helps you or not..we used TP to make these plans and we are staying off site so we are avoiding any EMH days. Good luck and no matter what you decide, you will have a great time!! It's Disney!!

Sounds like a good plan!

Hi!

We are going at the same time but staying at the Pop. I loved Coronado when we were there 5 years ago. We stayed at POR last August and it was just too hot. We melted waiting for the buses. The one thing I will say is that the buses at Coronado were not crowded. We actually got a seat.

I have never gone to WDW in January and I am excited for the cooler temps as well as the smaller crowds. This will be our 6th trip to the World. Has anyone been there before in Jan and how was it? Were you able to spend time at the pool or is it too cold?

Hi !

First trip planned for the 26th of January to the 5th of February, at the Pop Century

I'm soooo happy (and so stressed, it's my first "big" travel alone AND in the other side of the ocean !)

Trust me English is my first language and I type too fast so I always make mistakes.

Have an awesome time I am sure you will make friends when you arrive.
