What are the crowds like in late January? I was reading....

[YesI'mObsessed]

An older book, from 2003, and they had the average attendance in years past. Well, we went in December last time, and that shows about 10,000 less people than January. Will we really notice a difference? I would think it would be less crowded with the weather being so iffy. Can anyone enilighten me? Also, is there a current website that lists attendance for certain times of the year? Thanks!

They post attendance estimates for each day of the year on this site.

There is a rather large preamble, scroll to the bottom to see the estimated attendance table

We were there the last week of Jan-first week of feb this year and it was noticeably more laid back. I wouldn't say there were no crowds, but the wait times were very short and we had several meals which were not PS. THe weather was everything from sunny to drippy to foggy to stormy. Come prepared for anything.

We always go in January and I think it is the PERFECT time to go- we have rarely waited more than 10 minutes in a line. This year we're going in September and I'm more than a little worried BUT we really didn't have a choice PLUS we got free dining so that makes me happy.
