    My Disney trip is planned for Jan 2nd-9th 2018. I was wondering about crowd size during this time. Thanks for your time!

    Dear Marianne,

    Thank you so much for reaching out to us here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question about planning your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation for January!

    Early January is typically a good time to see some reduced crowds, but that weekend happens to be the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend so there will definitely be some additional folks there both to run the races and then to celebrate in the theme parks afterwards. 

    I would take some time to do a larger search for crowd calendars and you will find a wide variety of external websites that will give you historic crowd data for the dates that you are interested in.

    Hope that helps with your magical planning!
