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!
