No major issues. Sat eve at epcot will be pretty busy, but it adds to the atmosphere.
I've done US on Pres day a few years ago without express pass and didnt have any probs so with it it will be fine I would think. We love it this time of year it'll be our 6th visit.
enjoy.

Many Thanks

What temperatures do you normally experience in Feb - do you reckon a day at the water park is reasonable to plan?

Thanks

Temp wise we have had everything going, frost, cold rain (like we get here in Scotland), scorching heat and even a tornado which did a lot of damage just north of WDW. On the whole its great, like a hot summer here. Sometimes we needed a fleece and long trousers in the evening but I have known us to be swimming in the evenings.
We have always managed at least one day at a water park - last year we spent our 1st day at typhoon lagoon and it was scorching, but be prepared to be flexible.

I would definitely recommend a warm cardigan or fleece for evenings - it can get a bit chilly. We did first 2 weeks February last year - weather wise it was great - got busy towards Presidents weekend though.

Your plan looks good - just remember that the parks will close earlier than they would in the summer - with the exception of Presidents weekend and Saturdays - I can't remember exactly, but I think MGM closed at 6 some days and MK closed at 7.


Have fun.....Hard Rock Cafe is brilliant!!
