Well, January was an interesting month at Disney World!

Let’s just say we were surprised by the brutally cold weather (okay, so it DOES get cold in Florida, and we were FREEZING) and the crowds unlike what we’ve seen before this time of year. But we’re still out there doing our thing, checking out all the hotels and seeing what’s new. So let’s get on with some updates!
