We leave too go down for 9 days the end of next week. i have noticed that the wait times seem much longer then usual for January. Has anyone else noticed the same?!

thats what i was thinking as well...this past Sunday they closed the EPCOT parking lot to capacity. This is our first January trip. We picked January because of the lower crowds...we shall see!! I worked there many moons ago and I remember January and February were not busy. Hope for the best...either way it will be great to be there!
A huge portion of the Epcot parking lot is taken up by race tents/set up as well as runners/spectators parked there for a good majority of the morning-early afternoon on Marathon Sunday. So the full lot wasn't being used just by guests in the park.thats what i was thinking as well...this past Sunday they closed the EPCOT parking lot to capacity. This is our first January trip.

Yes and no. For some years yes, for this year, no. Not when schools in a large part of the country didn't return till yesterday. So last week was still Christmas/Holiday season crowds, just slightly lower than the week between Christmas and New Years.wow!!! this seems unusual for this time of year...it is what it is...we will make the best of it!!

With the Marathon tacking on at the tail end of the Holiday break period you had a lot of folks who just stayed a day longer to complete their trips.
You just have to pay attention to how breaks fall and they are typically driven by when the Holiday falls during a given week. This year was different because of the Holiday falling on Monday. Many schools didn't resume on Tuesday, they just stayed out all week.
Yuck! That would be awful for trying to do vacations, for families and teachers.I wish I was in a part of the country that did that...we always go back Jan 2 come hell or high water. My district was even in session when Jan 2 was the federal holiday last year...
