I do have to day this is one of my favorite times of the year to visit Walt Disney World. Though the temperatures are cooler, the crowds are much smaller. Lines are shorter, making it possible to see and do more while at the theme parks.
However, the one main issue with visiting the theme parks during this time of year is many of the popular attractions are closed for annual refurbishment projects. But on the bright side of things, many of these attractions are ones you would not want to ride when it is cold. Especially Splash Mountain and Kali River Rapids.
Here is the list of current and upcoming closures at the Walt Disney World Resorts and Theme Parks, as of January 2, 2013:
- Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa’s courtyard pool will be closed through Feb. 28, 2013
