Visiting in January

[sahm2two]

Any tips? We're planning on the week after MLK Jr Day, to avoid crowds that weekend.

My idea is to fly down on a Sunday, check in, then do the parks (2 park ticket option so we can park hop) Monday and Tuesday, take a break Wednesday (sleep in, see a movie, hang out at the pool if it's warm enough, maybe visit downtown disney, etc), then do the parks again Thursday and Friday. Fly back home on Saturday.

I figured this way we wouldn't be in the parks on a weekend (just a Friday) and we'd have 4 full park days. I've read the WWoHP is better to do 1st thing in the morning and later in the afternoon, so we'll probably plan on doing that on most days until we've had our fill of HP, it might take all 4 days

Any tips for January trips would be greatly appreciated! It'll just be me and DH. We just went to Disney with our 2 little girls and we had a great time, but we hardly rode any "big kid" rides and we were worn out! Looking for a little less stress, more roller coasters and at least 1 day to sleep in!

oh yeah, my other question- for January with 2 adults. Is it really necessary to get the Express Pass? We'd be willing to do the single rider lines for everything, and since it's January I figure it won't be quite as crowded. If we can avoid the costs of the Express Pass I'd prefer that

there are many dates in january that will not be crowded.


don't buy the epp in advance for january.
the passes are non refundable.


go early and be ahead of any crowd, if any.

buy the epp while in the park if lines have long waits.


the epp is one use only for rides and attractions.

not usable for lines in hp, fj and pflyers.
