[Prudence]

Except that unlike past years (that I remember) peak season lasts through 1/2/06 this year. (Doesn't it generally end at 12/31?)

It's not going to bother me that those things are closed because most of my favorites will still be open. But I'll bet some of the attractions closing down in January will still open. For example -- for the past three years they've staggered the Haunted Mansion and small world holiday overlay removals by a week, so I'm betting that at least one is open.

It's not going to make or break our vacation. It's our only chance to be at the park during the 50th celebration and as long as the park exists and is open our mission will be successful.

The part where I get to engage in wild speculation is but an added bonus!
