FEB. Park hours why the difference

[tiffanim]

We are going 2/9-2/18 and the parks close early that week compared to the following week where they are open much later. Why the difference. Should I have booked the other week instead or are they thinking it will be busy so stay open later?

Welcome to the DIS, tiffanim.

Presidents Week

that is the start of Pirates and Princess parties if i'm not mistaken, they close early to allow for the seperate ticketed event to happen.


nope i just checked, your dates are actuly right between two parties.

If you don't like crowds, you won't like it after Feb. 15th or so.
President's Day holiday starts a busy time.

We are going Feb 10 to the 16th- I'm hoping for low crowds, because as the other poster have said, its Presidents week and a lot of schools in the Northeast have it off for February Vacation.

Have a good trip!!
