We will be visiting Jan 3rd to 6th. If I am reading correctly, this is the last few days of the holiday season? I had booked in the hopes that we had missed all the holiday stuff and it would be really quiet. However, if this is the last of the holidays will it be crazy busy with everyone trying to get visits in before the decorations come down? I am taking my 6 year old who has some mild special needs and I'm not sure how he will cope with huge numbers of people and exceptionally long waits....
Also, how/when can we find out what will be going on at that time? There doesn't seem to be anything on the website just yet...
Unfortunately 3rd Jan is when the deluxe annual passholders can re-enter the park after about 3 weeks of being unable to visit so there will be a few people. Mind you the week after that will be even busier as the other annual passes become unblocked. I would suggest you pay for maxpass (or at least use fastpass) and also look into the DAS (Disablity Access Service - see https://disneyland.disney.go.com/au/plan/guest-services/guests-with-disabilities/ ) as this will help reduce the time spent waiting in lines (you still need to wait but it won't be in a line and you can rest in a quiet spot or look at the shops).
The good thing is you are there for 3 days so you can take it slow and if it gets too much then a break back at the hotel might be a good idea. The kids can get tired by mid afternoon and sometimes an afternoon rest allows them to return to the park for a few solid hours in the evening.
