Best off peak month: Feb/march?

[Liz2]

Hey there,
Just wondering if someone could give me some feedback?
The last time I was in dlp was June 2007 when we had 1 child and I remember the queues to be crazy busy but we didn't mind as my daughter was 6 at the time and was just really happy to be there!
This time around we're thinking of going in March 2015 and we'll have 3 kids in tow, the 2 youngest being 5 and 6 and even though I'm aware it'll be really cold at that time of year, I'm trying to suss out if the queues are a little quieter around Feb/March? As opposed to the summer months? Is that the general concensus?
I'd really hate for the little ones to be queuing for ages for each attraction as I'd be afraid it may take from the Disney magic for them?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the DISboards

March is generally warmer, and next year February has most of the French school holidays, they are over by the first week in March.

If you can go in March, I'd choose March - but always midweek, avoid all weekends at DLP, its very very busy on weekends.

I think early February / mid to end March would probably be your best bet. It is most dependent on what countries have school holidays. So I would avoid anytime when French and UK schools are off.
These are the French holidays for 2015

French dates are:
Zone A Winter holiday 2015 09-02-2015 21-02-2015
Zone B Winter holiday 2015 23-02-2015 07-03-2015
Zone C Winter holiday 2015 16-02-2015 01-03-2015

UK dates are:
09-02-2015 to 20-02-2015

So I would do either the 1st week in Feb or wait until after the 8th of March.

Monday - Thursday are the cheapest and quietest arrival dates but I would always tend to avoid weekends are they are always alot more busy.
