DISNEYLAND IN JANUARY About This Page:

[Alice in wonderland]

We are going to DIsneyland Resort January 18th- January 20th.


We get to anaheim around 12pm and plan to go straight to the parks. I think they will be open till around 10pm. We will then spend all the next day at the parks. I think they will be open till around 11pm. DOw you think this will be enough time to explore the two parks? only 1 1/2 days??????

We will have just spent 11 days in WDW so i only really want to go to DL to take photos and go on the handful of different rides that are different and to see the parades. My DH has never been to CA so we will spend most of the time there.

I am assuming that there will be low crowds during this time???

Any ideeas?

Could get a little busy on Sat/Sun. The following Monday is Martin Luther King day.

Otherwise a great time to go. You may find Small World or Haunted Mansion closed if they are removing Holiday overlays.

If you want to soak up atmosphere more than go on all the rides, then 1 1/2 days should be sufficient. When I was in Anaheim for a conference a couple of years ago, I was able to walk through all of California Adventure (including experiencing Soarin', Golden Dreams, and both bakery tours) then move over to Disneyland and ride Pooh and Small World in about 5 or 6 hours on a Saturday afternoon in April.

Happy planning!

Firday night, Saturday, and Sunday are always busy no matter what time of year it is, with Saturday generally being the busiest. If I were you I would get a park hopper so you can go over to DCA in the afternoons especially on Saturday. I would also be a good slice of California seeing how your husband has never been to our beautiful state

The weekends are busy no matter what time of year due to our great weather in Calif. You may not get to ride as much but you'll enjoy the experience. CDA is easy to do in one day. Have a BLAST and Welcome to Sunny Southern California!

During that weekend, DL park will be open from 9am - 11pm, while DCA is open 10am until 8pm.

Crowds may be a bit heavier as it is a weekend . . . if you only want to ride/see a few "essential" things, then your time frame of a day and a half should be OK.

Keep checking the January calendar page on the DL website to see what attractions/shows may be closed for each park during the time you'll be there. Like Don said, you may miss It's a Small World and/or Haunted Mansion due to the removal of the holiday overlays.

ETA: Upon poking around a bit more, I have read a "rumor" that after the Holidays, IASW may be shut down to remove the holiday overlay and then go into an immediate 9 month or so rehab. Also, Monsters Inc. : Mike and Sulley to the Rescue is due to be down for rehab from this November until at least January, possibly longer.
