Crowds after Presidents Day

[ELT]

Any thoughts on the crowds February 23-26th this year. Super bummed Hagrids will be down. I have an AP room booked at Dockside ( bringing two friends with me, so the two bedrooms is nice) I have RP booked for one night for express passes, but I'm hoping the crowds wont be so bad that I need to spend the extra 600 to get Express passes- thoughts?

That's school vacation week in the Northeast and there are tons of families going to FL. Expect it to be busy!

You also have the Disney Princess marathon bringing a lot of people to the area. Traditionally a very busy time in Orlando and at all the parks.

It's a school break week in the north bookended by a holiday weekend and the princess marathon. Orlando all around is going to be crazy busy those dates. I would plan on needing express pass or try upgrading to a premier hotel.

I have RP booked for one night for express passes

Note, your one night gets you TWO days of EP—your check-in day and your check-out day. Even long before your room is ready, like on the morning of your checkin day, you can get your EP. Two days worth of EP might be enough not to bother with buying any more. But I'd still investigate either moving my trip entirely.

Don't forget the single rider lines for the days you don't have express.

Would Royal Pacific send luggage to dockside? Thinking about Thursday at dockside Friday at RP and Saturday back at Dockside. My friend really wants a half a pool day and with the AP rate it would just be around 110 dollars more a piece to split stay.
