Bring layers and ponchos or umbrellas and you'll have a great time. I imagine it will be pretty quiet next January with the 50th celebration being over. The hot chocolate at DL will get you through. =)

Originally Posted By irishfan I was there this past January and it was wonderful. During the week the crowds were very light, and managable at the weekend. The weather was pretty great, had one wet day, where there was a light rain literally all day long, but other than that it was blue skies.

It worked out to be better while raining then when dry as the crowds were so heavy until the rains came!
