End of Jan or Feb? Advice

[NicholeB630]

Hey! So I know no one really knows about crowds anymore because we're living in twilight zone times these days. But I am curious if anyone has inside or opinions on two different times? I looked at some crowd calendars which who knows if they help anymore or not. I was thinking either Thurs Jan 27 - Sun 30 or Thurs Feb 3 - 6. Both times I would guess would be ok, BUT we went in 2018 in Feb the first week, looked at all the crowd calendars and it was saying it was a great time to go. I did so much research but it was all WRONG the amount of South American visitors was unreal. The parks were packed with groups of 50+ people all over. It was a nightmare. So literally everything I read apparently didn't account for a high international travel time. Now fast forward to now, do we think its the same? Obviously travel is harder now, but not really considering all you need is a neg test to come here. So just looking for some feedback Thanks!

January in that scenario would not have been any different, it's the season.

I have a friend who’s frequented in Jan many times and never had the international travel like we did. A ride would go from 20 to 45 minutes in seconds of these groups getting in line. Guess we’ll see this year.

We went in early February this year and loved the time. Temperatures were great and crowds weren’t bad.. Planning on this coming February also.

We’re going late Jan/early February (1/26-2/10), we usually go early December. The amount of people on the dis going to Disney during that time is crazy. Seems like every other post is “I’m going in late January or I’m going in early February”. I’m nervous lol

Me too. We were at USF the first week of Feb 2020. The Quince. tour groups were huge and many. They weren't badly behaved, ideally behaved, it was just that there were so many of them and they stayed together. We learned to just leave the land whenever we saw them arrive unless we were already in a line. If they were already there, the pile of backpacks was the clue.

Also, for the near future, whenever the border fully opens, I think all bets will be off. There are a bunch of international visitors that have planned and cancelled several trips thinking "Surely by then I'll be able to go". So, the question is, when will the border open?

I think lots of people have been thinking, "Things will be normal by 2022" and planned accordingly.
