February trip - french hols?

[maleficent_man]

Hi all,

Looking at a cheeky trip next month as getting a reasonable deal but it's during the time when french school holidays are on (I believe Paris would be included in our time 24th Feb-2nd March). Is it crazy busy or ok? We are planning on going for a week to make up for the disappointment in November. Any thoughts/tips/advice welcome as always!

Anyone? We've booked and I'm now worried it's going to be mobbed.....

its not quiet at DLP when French zone C is on school holidays, but February is when a lot of families go skiing instead of to the theme parks, so it won't be like October half term busy, or summer busy, for example.

Thanks Elaine!

I am just worried now it's going to be hour long waits for everything but have seen a few bits and pieces suggesting that it's not too bad (I've been at Christmas and New Year before). We have a full week as well so will get lots done with any luck.

Im going the same week, booked at Hotel New York. I'm not worried about crowds. The weeks before with UK and Irish half term will be busier as the UK and Irish will head to DLP but like DLPdaft said, its skiing season in central Europe so the French wont be packing into DLP like they do in the summer or at Christmas. Like you I have been at DLP on Christmas Day / Boxing Day and THAT was manic.

Thanks!

I should have done some more research though as we'd have got the same deal the week after and got in some of the Swing Into Spring season...oh well. Still looking forward to a full week of fun!
