What if we swap our Dec trip for January?

[DMRick]

I'm feeling a little swamped right now. Just back from Philly and a scrapping/crafting convention, and leaving for DisWorld Monday for a week, have my son and his wife coming for a week at Thanksgiving and have a planned first time trip to Disland Dec 3rd for a week (and we are off to Ireland to visit our son in February..starting to feel I am never home). I have free air tickets and if I don't use them that week, I'll have to pay $50 each (2 of them) to extend them. But, if I'm away that week, I'll lose about $500 from my eBay sales. Hotel rooms are also about $20 less a night in Jan. So, I'm open for suggestions. How's the weather in Jan (looking at 23rd through the 30th) compared to Dec? I know I'd miss the Christmas decorations, but that doesn't bother me. Are more things down for reno's in January? What to do, what to do.

We went around that time (late Jan.) last year, and it was fabulous. Weather was in the low 70's and crowds were very low. I believe that is one of the least crowded times of the year.

In terms of rides down for reno's, yes, some were (don't remember which), but the lack of crowds made up for it. I have very young children so I do remember that I scheduled my trip after IASW was opened back up. They close it in mid Jan for about two weeks to take down the Christmas overlay. We went at the very end of Jan, and it was open again.

It sounds like your fall/early winter is very busy. Maybe waiting until late Jan to come might be a great way to perk up your winter!

Good luck in your decision.

I'm debating between the last weekend of Jan and 2nd week of March, I'm leaning toward Jan. as well.
