President's Day Weekend. Pres day hits on Feb 20th and it's always crowded that time. Plus Daytona 500 is on Feb 19th, so you get people for that also who stay the weekend and hit Disney before/after the event.

In the Northeast kids get all of President's Day Week off... and we love to go to Disney during that week...

It's called "mid-winter recess" for us and most of the NE. President's Week...the parks are always crowded. Airfare is sky high too.

Yes, it's President's Day week. Earlier this year, we saw peak waits of 90 to 100 minutes during the same period, so the rating seems justified.
