Crowd level February - best days to go?

[thebeesknees]

We had to reschedule our trip from Jan 30-Feb 7 until Feb 9-17 (travel days will be the 9th and 17th). I'm guessing it's going to be super busy during that time due to the 2 3-day weekends right after each other. DH says we are only going to go to the parks for 3 days , so I need suggestions from those of you who are more experienced as to what days to go. All passholders are blocked for Feb 13-15, from what I could see. Is that good news or bad news for crowd levels? Right now we are leaning toward going on the 10th and 11th (probably do our MM on that Thursday, the 11th), and then one other day. I know we would have been much better off going in January, but DH's work schedule can't be rearranged at this point, so we need to work with what we've got. Thanks for your help!

All passholders being blocked out is always good news for crowd levels. I anticipate fairly decent crowd levels that weekend. Lots of stuff is closed for refurbishment and nothing particularly special is happening. I doubt it is horribly crowded that weekend, but you just never know.

Isn't that president day weekend? I think that's why the AP's are blocked...

It is a long weekend and a semi-holiday (prez day and Valentine's), but I still doubt it is hugely crowded. I have been on several blockout holidays and the crowds have never been as bad as regular non-blockout weekends. I doubt most people will want to spend $45 extra to get in when they can just go the next weekend for free because, again, nothing special is going on.

But, who knows. No one has really been able to accurately predict crowd levels this year.
