    We love the week after New Year's. You can catch some of the Christmas Decorations before they disappear for another year. Crowds are low.

    We loved the temps at this time of year too - though coming from Western NY, anything above 40 seems balmy at that time. I don't think we've ever seen any rain showers. If you're interested in the water parks or spending time poolside, its probably not the best time because of the temps. Park hours tend to be a little shorter than at peak times and it gets dark pretty early, but the parks are lovely at night too.

    Default Week after New Years really the slowest?

    I would not say the slowest. The slowest time is probably late September. We had gone for 3 years during that time on Free Dining and the restaurants are busy but the parks are not. The only thing to watch for is the marathon on Saturday and that only impacts getting to MK or EPCOT. The MK was very slow that Saturday morning we could not believe it. There must have been a line of several hundred to a thousand people waiting for the Monorail for EPCOT at the TTA. We went 1/-1/8 this year and the weather is perfect IMHO and the parks are filled with Christmas decorations. Make sure to see the Osborne Lights. Amazing. We are planning to go 1/1-1/8 in 2012 as well.

    Our January trip was in 2002 so I don't know about crowds anymore (then, it was almost empty!), but we did get to see the beautiful Christmas decorations. Temps for the week we were there (the first full week after New Year's) ranged from lows in the upper 30s to highs in the 70s. We brought winter coats and had to use them one night; the rest of the week was a little chilly but not cold.

    On several nights the Magic Kingdom closed at 6 p.m., so there were lots of hours to kill after that, and it was too cold to swim, even for Chicagoans. (Let me amend that to say it wasn't too cold for my insane brother and sister, who were in their 20s at the time and were determined to swim in the 30-degree temps, while their older sisters stood by the heated pool in their winter coats.)
    Many visits over 35+ years!
