You are right, perceptions are very funny. We go in January every year and we think its always very quiet and light when we are there, but I see many comments all the time that other people thought the same days or week were the busiest they ever saw it. I will have to come back with the trip reports (will be my first time doing those, and my first DVC stay so it should be very exciting!) and comment on my perception of how the crowds were and what we think was missing or taken out of the usual things we notice.
