Sadly, I have to postpone my trip
I really don't know when we'll go but I'm looking at early August.

I need to sort out some priorities so the trip is on the back burner.

Thanks for posting photos!! WOW I can't believe how short the lines are during lunch rush! Going to stress a lot less about crowds!

We use to go in April every year. Then one year we switched it up and went in January. Since then we've been hooked! We'll never go any other time of the year.

I am getting more and more excited! Knowing that we can just relax and let the 5yr old lead the way everyday will be nice. I usually have a daily to do list with timetables to make sure we see and do all that we want to do because we mostly go in the crowded summer time. My sister calls me the Disney General! My BFF tells me NO list and timetables allowed! Now to just wait for a discount to come out.

I've been replying and realized I never posted when we'll be in town.... Jan 22-29... 1BR at Board Walk Villas.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but if you're flying United, check your flights. They've apparently moved some flight times around. I read about it on the FB group page, and checked my reservations this morning. Sure enough, they'd switched me from a 6:30 a.m. flight to 8:45 a.m. No warning, no email, no notification of any type.

Of course, this new flight works for me, but I would like to have been sent an email about it...hmmm....

They did this to my party last September. Was a nightmare. I will not fly united again.

Hi everyone!

I just booked our flights for January - we usually fly Virgin Atlantic but decided to try British Airways instead, plus they have a sale on so the price dropped about $120 each!

I also booked our DME reservation and set up my sponsorship page for the WDW Half Marathon too, feeling very excited for our trip now!

I was originally going in February, but then change dates to 27 Feb - 6 Jan 2014. Staying at Pop Century, with my BFF. Eggzited! This will be my 2nd trip, and my friend's very first ever. It's also her 2nd visit to USA since... 1996?

We are also looking to go to WDW in January 2014. Trying to decide between the third and fourth week. Right now we are planning on flying in on the Sunday before MLK and having a resort day on MLK day. Would spend the next five days in the parks and fly out on Sunday the 26th. Worried about crowds being high the week of the 19th to 26th and would like some advice if we should move our vacation to start on the 26th instead. Thanks.

The January Promo's will most likely be blacked out around MLK weekend. It should start back up on Saturday Jan 25th.

To those of you who are regulars in January - do you find that there are many ride refurbs going on? I read in another thread that Splash usually closes in Jan and that its a popular time for refurbs? Also when are they likely to announce any 'theme' for 2014 (like limited time magic this year?) Thanks x

We will be renting DVC points so the promos don't matter. Looking for insight on how busy the parks will be that week.

Look on the right side for January 2014 crowd calendar.

We used these calendars for both of our past trips in the summer/hot/busy seasons and they were indispensable. Hope this helps - I think your dates are pretty good on the whole. Also check out his cheat sheets for each park, they really do help you get a lot done.
