Hi Irene,
I love traveling the week you've chosen to visit Walt Disney World. You can typically expect crowds to have diminished some from the holidays along with sunny, mild weather. You'll notice the crowds will drop significantly about midway through your travel dates, as many guests will have traveled through the New Year celebration.
Go ahead and have your Advanced Dining Reservations mapped out in the next couple of months, because your 180-day window to book them will open on July 6th. You'll see here on the
calendar the Park Hours are typically released about 6 months in advance. If you're staying at a Disney owned Resort Hotel, you'll be able to make ALL of your Advanced Dining Reservations on July 6th. It's one of the many great perks to staying on property!
We're a big bunch of planners, too, Irene, so send us your planning questions and we'll be happy to help. Planning becomes half the fun.
Thanks for visiting us!
Sherri
