January 2017 Disney World park hours and crowd calendar are now available!

January 2017 Disney World park hours and crowd calendar are now available!


For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.


Walt Disney World Park Hours are now listed for January 2017, so I’ve created my January 2017 Disney World Crowd Calendar to help you.  Here’s a few important notes that you should read before moving on to the January Crowd Calendar:

  1.  Most night time entertainment is not yet provided.  It does not mean it won’t happen, it just means Disney hasn’t listed it yet.  You won’t find Main Street Electrical Parade, Wishes, Hollywood Studios Fireworks or Fantasmic for most of the month.
  2. Park hours WILL adjust.  Park hours always change, usually several times, before your travel date.
  3. Hollywood Studios Extra Magic Hours weren’t listed on the initial version of park hours that is available to this website.  I went ahead and filled them in because all the other Extra Magic Hours matched the 2016 version.
  4. The NFL Pro Bowl is coming to Walt Disney World in late January and will affect the crowds somewhat.  You’ll find that a time that was usually slow, is now going to be busy, but you might have a chance to catch the NFL Pro Bowl Parade or see some players and celebrities in the parks.

Kenny, will the NFL Pro Bowl change your predictions for the end of January 2017 since it is being held in Orlando on the 29th?

Hi Kenny-- First, thanks! Second, was wondering what your thinking behind MK being not recommended is on 1/30. Do you think that might change if there are EMH at HS that day

Will the Pro Bowl affect crowds for the entire week, or more likely, one or two days? Is that why MK is now red with insane crowds on the last Sunday in July? Will they be there for the parade? I am trying to make some thoughtful decisions and changing previous plans. I am so disappointed since I chose this week because it had the lowest crowds of the year. Yuck.

Crowd level is on date. Red means worst park

No, it doesn't mean that. Note at top of the page indicates that they change the hours.
