I am very hesitant to take my 3 kids out of school for a vacation, so we are planning to visit WDW the first week of January/2003. This would minimize days missed from school. From what I have read on these boards, crowds should be light, but...my kids love to swim, and we are not sure if we are taking our chances. Also, I understand that this is value season, so will we still get all the special attractions (parades, fireworks) as we would travelling during a more busy season? We are only planning on visiting MGM/Magic Kingdom. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
