Guide to Going to Disney World in January
January marks the start to a new year at Disney World and this year is going to look a little different than Januarys in the past. Disney is planning on bringing back Disney Fastpasses, but due to Covid, we are still going to be seeing park restrictions.
Crowds at Disney World in January
While Disney World is crowded nearly every month, there are only two major parts of January that you need to avoid.
If you have studied our Disney World crowd calendar, you know that historically, January can be busy most weekends due to events. BUT 2021 is going to be a bit different due to Covid.
The first of the year will be crowded until the second week, but after that, you should be pretty good to go.
The only exception is Martin Luther King Jr. weekend since most people take advantage of the holiday.
