You have the exact dates we had We went January 31- February 7, 2014. We were in Magic Kingdom on Superbowl Sunday and didn't see anything special. I believe that the parade is the day after. I wasn't all that interested tbh, our team wasn't in it this year so wasn't a big deal. DH considered going to the sports bar on the boardwalk to watch the game but heard it is PACKED, so decided against it.
I don't know what it typical for the water parks, and we didn't go to any but we did talk with a couple on the bus one morning on the way to the parks and they said the water parks were closed (they actually said they got on a bus that said it was headed to the water park and when they got off realized the park was closed?! odd that they would be running buses to a closed park).
So not very helpful so far the weather was really dependent on the day. The day we flew in was COLD and rainy. I wore a t-shirt and jeans on the plane and I was cold when we were waiting for the Magical Express to bring us to our resort. The second day was pleasant. The Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were BEAUTIFUL. Very comfortable, 80 degree days. Occasional daytime showers that were very short-lived. I had gotten so used to the beautiful weather that I stopped checking the weather and Thursday we were miserable in shorts and t-shirts. It was another cold, rainy day, as was the Friday we left. So 3 were cold and rainy, 4 were beautiful. I do consider us really lucky though because several guys from my husband's work went this winter (January and February mainly) and most of them said they were freezing their whole trips. It was a cold winter throughout the country though so who knows what next winter will bring.

and we swam in the resort pool on the Monday, probably could have any of the warm days (and you *can* on the cold days if you want, the pools are heated. I'm not that brave ). Our park for that Monday was Epcot, we spent the morning and evening there, didn't notice anything special for the day after the superbowl.
