This news just makes me the happiest gal in the world. We arrive in Orlando on Friday the 27th and have MK planned for Saturday the 28th. After hearing there would be a Pro Bowl parade, I just assumed that the parade would be on Saturday and the crowds might be a bit crazy. I was super bummed after specifically choosing this week because of "lighter" crowds. ( I know at Disney that isn't really a thing anymore) But we decided just to stick to the plan and make the best of it. Got the reservations and fastpasses we wanted no problem. (Even though our PPO breakfast is no longer PPO.
After they extended January hours this week) I'm still planning for larger crowds and have an itinerary accordingly, but I'm glad a lot of those people that would be in the parks for the parade will now be there on Friday. My husband might be a little bummed though missing the players. Although I'm sure some of them will make an appearance in the park with their families later in the week.
