If someone has a suggestion or could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it. I want to take my toddler in February, March, or April. My number one priority is low crowds. I do not care about any night shows or fireworks or parks closing early at night. I don't care about any refurbs of rides with height restrictions. I'd prefer low chance of rain, but I can cross reference with Hydroguy's weather post once I know which weeks will be least crowded. Obviously I need to go weekdays and not during Easter and try to avoid spring break weeks (I have no idea when those would be if not over Easter), but how do I figure out which weeks in those months will be least crowded? Ideally I would have a couple options within Feb/Mar/Apr due to scheduling issues (February might or might not be doable, seems like it would be least crowded but I'm not 100% sure we could go then). We'd probably be staying 3 nights max, somewhere on Harbor (in case that's relevant). Thanks!
 
Feb: avoid presidents day which is 2/20

March: spring breaks start mid month. The first 2 weeks should still be good.

April: after the 15th when spring breaks end
 
If you plan Feb. you should avoid the whole week OF President's Day since a lot of So. Cal. schools get the whole week off - include the weekend before and the weekend after, too.

We love the first week of March. We are going again this coming March. Friday afternoons and Saturdays get a little busy - but since this is the best time to see the fireworks and F! we always add 2 weekend days.

We avoid April like the plague. Our DS 7's b-day is in April, and we went for Spring Break - Once. I will NEVER do that again. It was so crowded. Also, March and April have a lot of school groups coming in for music workshops, so the parks can get a little teenager heavy.
 

This is what I do. Look at the hours of operation on the Disneyland website. The longer the park is open on a certain day, the more crowded it will be. The least crowded days have park closing times of 6pm or 8pm.
