Title: January - what to expect
Post by: lindys87 on December 26, 2014, 08:31:20 PM
Hi,

I'm heading to DLP in the middle of next month with my family. We haven't been since October 2013 and I'm just wondering what to expect. It was busy enough last time but not hectic.

We head on the 12th. Has anyone gone at a similar time? Will there be less characters etc?
Also, does anybody know what to expect parade wise? Will the princess promenade or the frozen mini parade still be on?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance & hope you are all having a wonderfully magical Christmas!

Princess Promenade and Frozen pre-parade won't be on.
That's part of the Christmas Season, which ends after January 7th.
Also all the Xmas decs will be gone by the time you arrive.

There probably won't be much characters, since it's the most quite time of the year.
There will be the princesses back at the Pavillion (however you can only meet one at the time and you never know which one).
Also there's Mickey at his Pavillion, Spiderman in Backlot and Buzz Lightyear at Toon Studio.
Apart from that maybe you'll get to see Pluto and Goofy roaming somewhere but that's pretty much it.
The daily Disney Magic On Parade will be back, and the regular Disney Dreams will be back.

If it's any consolation,  having seen both I prefer the parade and dreams version that you'll be seeing in January,  the process parade was canny but always so having that it was very difficult to get a good view.

We are also going in January the 12th to 16th. We have never been before so any advice would be great. We are staying at the sequia  lodge and full bored x

I'm going between then 11th and 13th of January and also staying in the Sequoia Lodge Golden Forest! I visit DLP regularly but I've never been in January, hopefully the queues will be pretty short.

I see that the EMH is for the Studios Park during the time I visit, will Crush's Coster be part of that?

Thanks

I've my fingers crossed that we will get to meet the kids' favourite characters. I know last time the CMs that accompanied the characters were very helpful so hoping for that again. We have to track down Peter Pan this time.  :)

Has anyone been in the Studios for EMH before? It would be great to know what usually opens.

Everything is pretty much open I think except for RnR and ratatouille!
