First Week In January?

Sun, 09-10-2006 - 9:05am

I just finally looked at my Joey's school schedule. He is out of school for Winter holidays from December 22 through January 8th and I was wondering if a quick trip down to Disney for that later weekend (the one after New Years) might be a good idea. We have been spoiled with low crowds and enjoy that aspect of things...

When are schools going back in your area of the country? (If most aren't going back until the 8th, this may not be a good idea) Has anyone been in early January? How is it?

Thanks in advance...

A website that I use that gives expected crowd levels at WDW for each day of the year lists that week at 6.

For comparison, this week most days are rated as 4s. I don't see anything lower than 4 and the only days rated as 10 are around Easter and Christmas.

1 = Peak wait times of 14 minutes or less
2 = Peak waits of 15 - 24 minutes
3 = Peak waits of 25 - 34 minutes
4 = Peak waits of 35 - 44 minutes
5 = Peak waits of 45 - 54 minutes
6 = Peak waits of 55 - 64 minutes
7 = Peak waits of 65 - 74 minutes
8 = Peak waits of 75 - 84 minutes
9 = Peak waits of 85 - 94 minutes
10 = Peak waits of 95 minutes or more

Our schools go back on 2 January. We're in Maryland.
