crowds at Disney Jan 23-30???

I'll be there Jan 23 to 30. Should i expect any crowds? What days are better than others?

23rd, 25th, 27th, 30th are 7s according to the crowd calendar on touring plans.com.
The other days are 4s and 5s out of 10, with 10 being the worst. You can check out the crowd calendar for free for the current 30 days, and it also tells which park per day is best. It's been very accurate for me.

where is the crowd calendar? eta: just re-read your post..thanks

7s, huh? we will be there next week as well and i thought we'd have lighter crowds.

We'll be there those exact days, too. Was hoping for about a 3!!

[renee1234vet]

I was hoping less too! I have gone this time of year before and it was not crowded so let's hope it's the same

We're going to be there too. 28th, 29th, 31st are all 4s. 24th and 26th are 5s. We'll only be in the park 28th, 29th and 30th. So two 4s, then a 7. I think it will be pretty good for us. Even when it's a 7, try going to they park touringplans recommend and avoiding the one they say, and you'll do better. 3s are rare, and I don't think I've ever seen lower than a 3 on that site. I've tried planning which park myself, basically just going to the park the day after that had EMH the night before, but it's not always the one they recommend. More times than not they choose better than I do. I'm not even going to try to pick anymore, just look at their site and do what they say. We chose this time purposefully for the two 4s. It's a little hard to find two together. It really is a great time to go, but some days will be better than others, hence the 7s. There is not a single 3 from 22nd of Jan to 22nd of Feb on their site.

Does any Saturday go below a 6 on that chart? Most are 7's, with occasional 8's and 6's.

Crowd calendar predicts a 4 for January 29, but no ressies to be had at LTT... I hope its not too crowded!!

[mdhiggin]

Saturdays are probably just busier due to the locals being off on the weekends, I guess.

We experienced very low crowds at Epcot today. At 1:30 pm Soarin' had a wait of only 45 minutes. We walked on at Test Track, Mission Space, The Living Seas, and Maelstrom. The weather was very nice too.
