asr Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 So, A few days ago I was ranting about the off-season, and my mother brought up Walt Disney World, and after some reserching, I found that Florida Hurricane season ends in November, but I didn't want to go in December to avoid pople going to Florida for Christmas, so she brought up going in Late January for my little sisters birthday. So my question is, is this a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroRider Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I'd say so. I went in February in 05 and this year and the weather was perfect, especially for IOA and Seaworld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
live2tell75 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 January is a perfect month. Sometimes can be cold, especially to us Floridians! The only weekend in Jan. I would suggest to avoid is Martin Luther King Jr. The schools are off so the parks might be a little busy. Otherwise any other time in Jan., a walk-on for everything Usually January, May, September & November are the most off-times to visit the parks down here. If you ever want to see the parks decorated for the holidays then check them out anytime between Thanksgiving and the day before Christmas Eve. The parks are empty, everyone is doing last minute shopping. Avoid visiting between Christmas and New Years, that is one of the most busiest times of the year. Most of the parks reach their compacity by mid-morning. You don't want to have to wait 90 minutes to 2 hours for a ride like the Jungle Cruise or anything for that matter! Hope that helps and have fun whenever you visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRollergod Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 My family booked a trip from December 28 through Jan. 6. Will it be ok ride line wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
live2tell75 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 ^ It is going to be pretty crowded the time you're there before New Year's Day. Just be sure to always have a Fast Pass in your hand at Disney throughout the day. If your going to Universal, buy the Universal Express passes. New Years Day through the 6th should pretty calm and not to bad. So no worries after New Year's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRollergod Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I am going to get a lot of FPs... I learned that the ride ops don't look at the time or date so you can use them whenever. I saw a guy with fastpasses from the previous year and still used them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rock401 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 We went in to Tampa in February of 2005 (weekend of the Bud Shootout at Daytona), and Saturday night it was as cold in Orlando as it was in Minneapolis! Freeze warnings all through central Florida. That aside, went to BGT and the FSF, and crowds were virtually nonexistent on all the big stuff.

Scaparri Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I went to FL this past January and it was the greatest idea ever. It was about 70 degrees most of the week and parks were empty. It was amazing. I definitely suggest you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obeygiant Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I actually went to WDW on New Years day and the longest wait was 30 min. for Peter Pan (surprisingly!) And the weather is amazing in Florida in January, so it would be a good idea to go then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen Heretic Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I spent New Years at WDW A couple of years ago. The only long lines were for Mission Space and Maelstrom. Test track was quite long but that was because it breaking down. Then again that was New Years night. The day after, everything had quite short lines and Pirates, Thunder and Haunted Mansion were pretty much walk on. It was a very strange feeling to almost get sunburn in December and January. Im use to trudging about in freezing rain or snow at that time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinhead Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I always go to orlando in January and going again this year, if your not from Florida the weather is very good and all the parks are very easy to get around (no queues etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
