WDW late January

[pjerk999]

Planning a trip w/ family for last week of January - first week of February. Can anyone tell me how crowded the parks or resorts tend to be??

Thanks

That is the time period we are going, According to touring plans that the crowds are rated 4's and 5's. 10 is the most crowded. Level 3 is very low and I did not see any 3's at all. I dont expect it to be very crowded. WE looked at various holidays and hopefully we missed all long weekends as well. We were sure to miss presidents day as we had been during that time before and it was very crowded.

We went end of Jan crowds where low, ***** sweatshirts and pants thru out the trip. Bring warm clothes.

We went last Jan in the middle of the month. The weather was great. Some sweatshirts/some shorts. Lines were wonderful. I am spoiled now. I don't think I will want to go at any other time.

Thanks for the post, we are going Jan 10-17 and was also wondering what to pack.

We spent 8 nights in WDW at the end of Jan. 2006.

The mornings/evenings were cold. I'd packed hats & mittens for us & we did use them in the early mornings.

I'd packed turtlenecks to wear under our WDW sweatshirts & DID NOT use those. During the day (a few days, we just kept our jeans on) we wore shorts & even went to Blizzard Beach 3 times...but be warned, the water took some getting used to.

You need to be prepared for warm & cold....as you just won't know until you get there.

Have fun!!
