Disney in January

January at Walt Disney World Resort affords guests light crowds, delightfully mild temperatures and lower prices for your resort stay.  Light crowds make for a more relaxing time in the parks but the downside is that Disney schedules ride refurbishments at this time.

Check the weather in Orlando when deciding what to pack for your trip.  This time of year, mornings and evenings can be chilly.
