Feb 2014 Questions, Dreams, etc

[belle24]

Ok, so I am missing the magic already, seems like a life time since was last there (June lol)

It was my OH first time and as we were there for only 3 days i feel we did not really get to do as much as i wanted, also it was sooo hot, kinda s,lowed us down. OH did really like it and said he would go again so.....

Im thinking of booking a Feb trip for his Xmas present and trying to keep it secret! I can prob afford the 4 nights off at the moment which would give us plenty more time.

Does anyone know or heard what is going to be happening with Dreams then?? I absolutly love it and def need to see it again.
What is the weather really like in Feb?? I remeber going a few years back in feb and was snow but was managable as no children.

I am prob going to book half board vouchers as well, just so i know that some meals are already paid for so its convienent. We got some in June and they were really useful.
And will travel by eurostar as its just so easy.

Just wanted to share, and if anyone has any tips or wants to share anything then please feel free

February is a great month to go crowd-wise. we went in february 2011 and it was really nice. We were quite lucky with the weather, it was cold but dry. I'm not sure if this is the 'norm' for February though. Only real downside was the amount of ride closures during that time, there were already a lot of scheduled closures but lots more that were unscheduled.

Dreams will still be on every day in February 2014 so you'll definitely get to see it again!

I've been twice, both in February lol, and have just booked for next year It's actually a treat for the family, my son became ill and consequently disabled in feb, so we use it as a cheer up time around the anniversary if that makes sense?
I have nothing to compare it to, but we couldn't do crowds or heat very well so it works great for us. We wrap up warm with ski trousers etc but have never had a problem.

February could be very cold but if you don't have children that shouldn't be a problem. I think both UK and France have school holidays in February so I would avoid those if you can.

Tickets for the direct Eurostar for that time of year will probably be released in the next couple of weeks so you might want to call them soon to check.

We went one February and it was great, no queues for anything.....but it was very cold [-8c]. However it was a very dry cold, so as long as you bring loads of layers you will be OK! POTC was very warm and we rode that loads, infact it was so quiet they sometimes just let us stay on and go round again :]

Don't know about Dreams or anything....sorry! But we always use the meal vouchers and love them

how do you know Dreams will be everyday in Feb 2014?? I so hope it is!! Im thinking of either goign on a Sunday or Monday ( Sunday if Dreams only weekends or Mon if everyday lol, would prefer to go the monday) right at the beginning of Feb so as to miss the half term week.

I'd definitely go on the Monday!

Awww brilliant that has just made my day!!!!

Thank you so much for telling me yayay!!! Even more excited and def going to do it now hahaha

Ive actually been looking into staying at the sequioa loadge as its only roughyl £100 more for the dates a want to go and would then have to option of going swimming which i know my OH would like. Does anyone know if there are any pool closures planned for sequioa in Feb??
Plus as the park closes early we would like to have a nice bar where we can have a few drinks and game of cards in the evening to chill out as we experienced the cocktails for the first time in June! Expensive but hooked !!
And just think the Redwood bar in Sequioa would b lovely in the winter. Any experiences??

Thanks again guys!!!

The bar in the sequoia lodge is my absolute favourite place to spend a cold winter evening. When they have the log fire burning and the smell of the smoke fills the air, it's divine!

There is no mention of any swimming pool closures for Sequoia Lodge in February on DLRP Magic so you should be fine:
