Crowds the weekend after President's Day

[KateDrake]

Hey all!
Looking for a little help. We're thinking of hitting DLR for a few days before heading out on a cruise, but I started wondering about the crowds at that time of year. This will be in February, the Thursday-Saturday after President's Day. I know President's Day weekend can be busy, but does that hold true for the rest of the week?

We've never been at that time of year before (usually go in the fall), so I have no idea what to expect. We'll probably try it no matter what, but I may plan a little more if it will be crowded, vs. just going with the flow and sticking with favorites.

TIA!

The trick here is that in the LA area, President's Day isn't a one-day-off thing. It's a whole week school break they call "Ski Week," but, in my experience, the only mountains that Ski Week involves are the ones at DL

That being said, it's not "terrible" or anything, just crowds similar to what would be seen during summer, or any other typical school break, maybe a little less. Crowded, yes, but not OMG-too-many-people-to-move or anything. Thursday should be the easiest day, with Fri and Sat being more busy, since that's when non-teacher adults would be at the parks normally anyway.

Both the weekend of President's Day and the next weekend can be busy. Like the PP said it's really the whole week. We often go for that second weekend and then stay through the next weekdays for a couple days. So we have a couple busy weekend days, but totally low/no crowd week days at the end.

It still would definitely better to go Feb. 20 - 22 rather than the actual President's Day weekend the week before, right?
