Crowd Level February 2015. Worried.

[Ellsbells]

Just booked 4th feb to the 18th at all stars music thinking it would be fairly low level crowds but suddenly reading everywhere that Presidents day brings some of the biggest crowds to the parks. Should I be worried? Suddenly planning seems A LOT more important.

President's Day weekend and the days surrounding it are one of the busiest times of the year and couple that with Mardi Gras being intertwined into that same week in '15 and there will be even bigger crowds than normal.

Planning is essential. Plan for RD to maximize your time.

The good news is, the first 8 or so days you are there should be good for crowds. I've been going the past 3 years around that time, leaving by the Wed or Thurs before Pres Day and have felt the crowds weren't bad. Maybe you can knock out a lot of your priorities when you first get there, and take things slower over the latter half of your trip when the crowds get heavier.

Thank you. I think the plan is to get everything we really want to do done the first week and then take the second week with whatever may happen.

The latter part of your trip will probably become more crowded as Princess half marathon weekenders begin to arrive. Also with the Daytona 500 being that weekend, sometimes guests who are attending the race squeeze in a few WDW days before the race on Sunday.

Good plan. You'll be fine as long as you have a plan. And the weather is cool, so that always helps.
