• “Disney After Hours” will be offered January 19, 26, 30. This special ticket means that you can get into the Magic Kingdom and play for 3 hours AFTER it’s closed to the “public”. Certain characters will be out, and ice cream + drinks will included with the cost of a ticket. The cost is $126 and discounted to $94 for pass holders.

Overall, January has some of the lowest crowd numbers and the best weather. (Except for the first week in January, it will still be crowded due to new years, the marathon, and some schools start back in the second week on the month.) If you want to get exact crowd and wait time stats, check out my friends at Touringplans.com and their “Disney Crowd Calendar “

I always go to Disney in late January because if feels like the perfect time to go with cooler weather and shorter lines. Have a magical day!
