How can you tell ?

I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to check to find out if there are large gatherings, conventions etc in Orlando on any given weekend?
We booked our trip a few weeks ago and not being a Nascar fan I had NO idea it was Daytona weekend and man the parks and trafic were nasty

We want to go back 2/18-2/20 and I was wondering how to find out if that weekend has any big events in Orlando (or close) that I shuld know abut.

Thanks for the help

LOL, it is Sunday afternoon, the slowest time of the week, except maybe at 3 in the morning. Best would be to repost later tonight (but I think the Oscar thing is on, so may be slow tonight also). Very best is to post tomorrow, about 10 AM, see what you get, and then again, give it a bump (if not many replies) early evening tomorrow, about 7 PM.

You might get in touch with the Orlando Convention and Visitor's Bureau, or whatever their equivalent is. Ours usually has a heads up on what's going to be in town, based on occupancy of local hotels (in our area, things like the High Point furniture market, etc.)

Dusty~ President's Day is observed around that time, which means that kids are out of school, long weekend= going to WDW. This year, the kids had the 17th and 20th off school. However, the 17th ended up being a full school day in order to make-up one of the many days missed during last year's hurricanes. There were still many kids that didn't go to school that day, it was obvious during pick-up and drop-off. They did have the 20th off and the only reason we didn't go to WDW is because I didn't have that day off and had a big test to prepare for.

Do you mean NEXT February? Presidents weekend will always be busy at the parks as the Spring Breaks are all starting and everyone heads South.
