Is it gonna be crazy in Feb. 2009?

[springdal]

We have reservations for the mid to end of February 2009 and now our daughter is telling us we are crazy because everyone on the East Coast will be there because of mid-winter breaks. Are we in for trouble with crowds?

I don't think even Disney could handle everyone on the East coast.

It does get busy right around President's Day, which is kind of late this year - the 18th.

anyone else know how crowded it will be around the 18th of Feb? We arn't going until 2009, but I have heard we made a mistake scheduling at this time....

Presidents Day always follows the day after the Daytona 500.

 

[springdal]

that sounds like trouble...

I think just about anytime you go to WDW it's crowded, I don't care when I make a reservations it fall on some kind of holiday or break...look at it this way even if it's crowded at least it won't be hot too !

By the way I love your doggies

I much prefer to go when the crowds are small...not just because of ride wait times....Its so much easier to navigate your way through the parks, I feel so much less about a kid getting lost. We get so much more accomplished during slow season in a park, even with the earlier closing hours. Maybe I wouldnt feel that way if we didnt have the strollers, and duffle bags stuffed with misc "family needs" crap, and if I weren't so HUGE.
One summer a couple of years back it was shoulder to shoulder, back to wall busy and 95 in the shade...were standing in line for Jungle Cruise and this little kid starts using the back of my legs and butt as a road for his toy car or what ever the heck it was. I turned and gave him my "Little dude, I will EAT you and spit your bones in your daddy's face!" look, (crowds and heat make me grumpy like that) then looked at his parents the same way...they muttered some foreign commands and the kid backed off of me. 20 seconds later, there he is again, using my wide-lane butt as transportation for his little freakin mickey-mobile......it was hot, man. I was dripping sweat, got this stupid back pack on my shoulder that weighs 40lbs...and he was the perfect height......it was one of those coffee induced "silent but extremely deadly" ones. I dont know what language they spoke, or what he said....but it began with "Eeeeeeeeeeeew, ma-MA...." that was pretty universal for "He farted in my face", parents picked himup...and there was a good 2 ft between them and my Mt.Butt for the remainder of the line.

Why did my tickerfactory thingy not show up right?

 

[springdal]

showed up right in the preview

 

[ftwildernessguy]

Looks like you exceeded the allowed vertical dimension. Try putting it beside the picture of the pooches.

 

[BigDaddyRog]

its most likely too low, delete the spaces between your pluto smilie and your ticker so that it will show up ON SIDE of Pluto, instead of underneath.

 

[springdal]

just testing...wish this wasn't so darn slow

 

[springdal]

trying again

 

[springdal]

I give up!!! I tried putting it right next to Pluto and still no good. Some people have huge areas...I can't even get a small one going. And this is so slow I am getting annoyed big time..

 

[springdal]

one last try

 

[BigDaddyRog]

You are giving it your best aint ya....try putting your ticker BEFORE the pic of your pups, and remember..no spaces between image tags. make sure your[/img] at the end of your ticker tag is smack dab up against your

Good job Rog. What is up with people getting so close to you in line and the parents that dont watch there kids in line drives me nut. On our last trip this kids parents where watching him rip paint off of Test Track I mean come on stop the kid. (they never did)

Oh yeah I have been to WDW a couple of times in the first part of Feb. with no crowds.

 

[springdal]

OK, BigDaddy, here goes...

 

[springdal]

ok...if this works this time it is because I took out the URL info that you copy at the ticker factory and started and ended with IMG...so we'll see
