Feb/March-- best week; HELP!

[MaxnElliesMama]

We are finally re-planning our Disney trip ( ) which was supposed to happen last June, but due to pregnancy complications we postponed.

We will now be going; sometime in February or March; our plane tickets have to be used BY March 16th (as we purchased them previously and they expire).

Trip will be Dad, Mom, and Kids.
9,4 and baby (4 months).

When should we go?! HELP!

Also; we were going to stay HOJO; for the water park in June, but doubt we would use it in Feb/March; should we consider a different hotel?

Thanks DIS'ers! So excited to be back in planning mode!

After the first week of March, all the random spring breaks start - especially Arizona. We inexpectantly caught a lot of Arizona fall breakers in October and it made for 10/10 days during the week. If I were you, I'd stick with Feb.

Well poop!

Is there a place we can find all of the nationwide spring breaks or is it just a do your own research kinda deal? Lol

Here's a link to a lovely post which details just about everything going on for the year!

That thread is great. A lot of BC and Alberta school boards have spring break between March 20 and 31. I know that several hotels, including HOJO are fully booked for that time. If you go in March, I do it in the first two weeks.

We have done WDW last week in February. It was not too crowded nor hot but I can't speak to DL specifically

We'll be visiting the last week of February. This will be our third visit around this time (once mid-February, once first week of march) and we've found the crowds to be reasonably low and the weather has been great. I get more nervous the further into March you get, with spring breaks etc.

Thanks guys!

We are shooting for feb 27- March 5th
Park days being Feb 28 (tue) - March 4 (sat).

We could possibly do earlier in the month, like exactly mid month.

Hmm.

We're going those exact same dates (see you there!). I picked those because touringplans.com show them as being some of the least busy days this time of year. According to the 2017 calendar there's nothing going on that week. Should be pretty nice until Friday/Saturday. The only big downside for me is it looks like Pirates will be down. Last trip we missed Jungle Cruise and Space Mountain so as long as those are open I'll be ok. My wife hasn't ridden Space Mountain since she was in elementary school!

Have you thought about staying right across the street at Park Vue Inn? It's directly across the street from the Harbor entrance/exit. Just cross on the crosswalk and you're there. My family stayed there last year and the rooms were clean, nicely decorated, the beds were really comfortable and they offered a free breakfast. While we really, really like to stay on-site, when we don't want to spend that kind of money on a hotel, I will definitely stay at PVI again.
