February attendance?

[DanceRC28]

I just started a new job, but my husband and I are dying for another Dis trip. We went last April/May for our honeymoon, were back in November, and just can't wait to get back there! Anyway I got off Feb. 24-26, and I think I can take off Feb. 27th to make the trip a little longer. I know this weekend is the weekend after President's week, so I was wondering how you guys think the crowd will be!?!? I'm hoping that since pres's day is Feb. 20th that most people will take off the weekend of the 18-19. Please let me know what you think, you guys are always so helpful. I don't wanna go if it's going to be insanely crowded. TIA!!!

i will be there 2/26 - 3/4 and was wondering the same thing , i also know that 2/28 is Mardi Gras and didnt know if that makes a difference or not with the crowds. Hopefully the crowds won't be to bad.
have a great trip!

Lots of people from New Orleans and the surrounding areas will be headed down to WDW, but I cannot imagine that making a huge impact on the crowds. We are doing just that, and hoping that some of the President's Week crowds diminish by the time we get there on the 24th. I think crowds should be managable, easily.

I agree w/ the above posts. We are heading there for the 24th also and keeping my fingers crossed that alot of the presidents crowd has gone. at this time of the year anyways!

...and the crowds were very manageable. I don't think Mardi Gras has a huge impact on attendance. However, Mardi Gras was very early last year (first week in Feb.). This year it is Feb. 28, which I believe is getting into the beginning of spring break time. We are going again this year, Feb. 24-Mar. 1, and I am also concerned that the crowds will be much worse than last year because of spring breaks and President's Day being Feb. 20. Like you, I am hoping that more people will have gone the previous weekend to take advantage of the 3-day weekend.

These are the numbers from the Ultimate Guide online for late Feb and early March. This is based on a scale from 1 to 10 with 10 the most crowded--think Christmas, July 4th, Easter. Looks bad on Friday and Saturday. Don't think I would pay the money to go if I had another weekend. Now if that were the only weekend I could go at all, of course I would go.
