What will the crowds be like from Jan 9th-16th?

[fairytalelover]

We are hoping it will be fairly empty since it's right after Christmas but we wanted to know if there are any conventions etc.... going on then...

I have a question also. We are going also around that time. When it has all of the rides and attractions scheduled to closed on January 11th does that mean that the last day everything will be open is January 11th or is the last day going to be January 10th?

The 14-16 are part of the Star Wars Half Marathi. Weekend. Thursday probably wi t be bad, it Friday afternoon and evening are likely to be quite crowded.

That means their last day of operation is the 10th.

Are u sure?

I expect huge crowds through the 10th, some crowds on the 11th to see the changes, and then crowds for the Star Wars Marathon weekend.

 

[fairytalelover]

Nope

So what day is everything closing for rehab?

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

The railroad and everything on Rivers of America will close on January 11th for a year+. Since the railroad will be rerouted, as well as the river, and Big Thunder Ranch and Barbecue will be gone, people are going to be going for one last experience before things change.

So is January 11th the last day that we can see everything or is January 10th the last day we can see everything? Also MaryJo I love listening to you on the podcast . I also have a few more questions for you if you wouldn't mind and have time for me. I am trying to make up my mind on a hotel. I don't know if I want to stay at springhill suites with the cvs on the bottom of it or at the hojoanaheim? And then my last question is my wife and I are planning on flying in on January 8th. If we went to the parks would the 9th and 10th be enough time to see everything that is going to be shut down on the 11th? We plan on getting a 5 day park hopper. Thank you for everything you do.
