3 or 4 days at DL in feb-march?

k. i had asked this a while back. we WERE previously planning on going the end of may. most people agreed we should do 4 days, which is what i wanted so we didnt have to rush. however a couple months ago we ended up changing the plans and we are going the last week of feb. basically about the same time dis divas will be there. we will be there starting feb 28 but probably wont be there till late so first day in the park will be march 1. i know it is SIGNIFICANTLY slower at this time, how do you think 3 days would fare at a slow time like this? my worry now is that we take the 4 days and end up doing everything in the 2-3 since its so much slower and then want to leave. i have to be able to book our rooms the right way and all that. so whats everyone think? still 4 days or would 3 be enough for this slow period?

It depends. Are you talking 4 full days or will you be leaving a bit early on the 4th day to travel home?

I know that we usually arrive around lunchtime on the first day so we spend about 10 hours or so in the park that day. We then do two full days and our fourth day is about 8 hours. It's always been plenty of time and we've never (excluding the trip when I was ready to go home before we got there) been just really ready to be done with it all on either a 3 or 4 day trip. We were ready to go the 4th day of our 5 day trip though. We generally use that last day to ride things we must ride again and do any last minute shopping. Have to bring fresh yummies home to the family after all. lol

Four days means you don't have to go fast. You can take your time, won't feel rushed at meals, parades, shows, etc. You can even not worry about missing time in the parks if you need an afternoon break.

We went this exact time almost 4 years ago. I would do 4 for sure. It can depend on how you would deal with the rain as well. My oldest daughter and I stayed at the park with very heavy rain a stroller and 2 little one's. Looking back it was crazy taking two little one's in and out of a rain shield all night. No one else in our party chose to do this. If you need to work around weather patterns for any reason 4 would give you a slight advantage.
