Crowds in January will be light so you can get a lot done! I'm at Disneyland now so can't reply in detail by I live by the resort and it does get really cold. I'll write a longer reply after getting home.

Ok! It's going to be very cold mainly because of the wind off of the bay and DisneySea is always a couple of degrees colder than Disneyland. It more than likely will not snow in January but if there is any snow it usually will not stick. For the little ones I really recommend bringing a blanket that you can clip onto the stroller if you are using strollers.

Crowds in January are very very light. If you see that the parks close early like around 7pm due to it being the off season don't worry because you can still get every done.

For Tokyo I recommend avoiding using a stroller if at all possible and instead opting for a baby carrier like Bjorn because it will be much harder to move around the city. Places like Harajuku on Sunday can get crowded and with narrow walkways it will be hard to move with strollers not to mention train stations don't always have an elevator. When we move here my son was 2 and if we could avoid the stroller when visiting the city!

Good luck with your trip!
