Which week is better?

[jennafo3]

Well, its official... We have FINALLY decided that we are going in January, but now can't decide when to go... it would be either the 1st or 2nd weeks of January (for only a week)... We plan on staying at ASMo. Can anyone add some insight for that time? Would the first week in January be too nuts? I understand some schools still have off...
oh, also I have 3 children under 7 and I will be 5 months pregnant as well!!!

Thanks so much!

I am in the planning stages for a trip to WDW with my 19 yr old DD the first week in January. It is officially "value" season, so I wouldn't expect it to be too nuts; however, if it is busy, the parks will have extended hours.

The first week would be busy around New Years. The 2nd week I think the Marathon is going on. And then Martin Luther King's birthday weekend might be busy. After that it probably woudn't be too bad.

The marathon does fill up a lot of rooms and wreaks havoc with buses and cars if you are going to Epcot or the MK on the Saturday and Sunday morning. But it has little to no effect on crowds in the parks.

Enjoy!
