Am I too late for Feb?

[jeeperwy]

We are planning a trip for 2006, and I originally planned for Nov-early Dec, 2006, but I got an email for a good airfare (which is REALLY hard to come by out of Wyoming) good through Feb. My question is can I plan a trip for Feb or will I run into a lot of problems? The other plus is my older DS is still 9, but will be 10 in Nov so he moves from child to adult so I would save some $$ there. Do you think that I can still get ADRs for that time? Do you have guesses what the crowds would be like? (note: We would NOT be there over Pres day weekend, so no problem there)
A negative that I see is that we wouldn't get to go to MVMCP if we go in Feb, but I guess that could also be a plus because we would be saving the $ for tickets for that.
I could use any advise that you have!!! Either way we still will go, I just have to decide when.

Thanks so much!!!!!

Feb crowds are very light except around President's Day. I am going the first week myself. We always go either last week of Jan/First week of Feb because we love the low crowds and mild weather

I never make any ADR's till I get down there- but we are always flexible so it's never been a problem

I'm also from Wyoming. What airport are you flying out of? We usually have to go to a larger market like Denver or Billings.

We are hoping to fly out of Casper. I can get tickets for $300 each, which from Casper is pretty good. I checked from Denver on Southwest and it was $325. I really don't want to drive to Denver this time because I am taking my two DS and my mom (DH isn't going). I wish we were like some on this board who could get tickets for $100-$150 each!!! That would be GREAT!! Anyway, weather would HAVE to be better there than here in Feb!!
Thanks for the info!
Keep it coming!!

We went the first week of February 2005...we booked only 3 weeks before we left!!! I LOVED booking late...I booked the same week for 2006 back in October and the wait is KILLING me!!!

Thanks for the info. I checked Casper when I bought our tickets and they were in that range $300.00-$350.00. We decided to fly from Steamboat Springs/Hayden for $338.00. I guess that's just the price we have to pay for getting to live in WYO.
Have a great trip

I don't think you are too late at all! In fact we didn't have a Feb trip planned but are now planning a weekend in early Feb.... Just hope to get all our ADR's!
