March 21-26 or Feb 21-26

OK, I know the "When should I go" questions are probably some of the most annoying here on the boards, but PLEASE help me!

We have always gone July or Aug in the past because DS is off of school. This winter DH decided that me and him should go on a just the 2 of us trip. The best times for this would be either Feb 21-26 or March 21-26.

From what I am reading, weather should be pretty comparable for these 2 times. Attendance wise, which would be best? My researching is pointing to the Feb dates.

Either way it should be miles better then our typical July/August trips, but wondering what you all think!

Thanks so much!

We've gone both times that you are considering and I would suggest the Feb. date. The further you get into March the more spring breakers you'll have to deal with! This is a photo we took in Feb 02 around 4:30 pm on a Sunday.

As you can see, there are not alot of people!

Thank you sooo much for your response. I am really excited for this trip. It is a pretty spur of the moment one. I thought I was going to have to wait until next Aug to go again!

I don't have a calendar handy- however when is President's Day week. That will affect things a lot!! If it's not that week then I'd go in February. If it is that week I'd take my chances w/ late March. Easter is later this year so, there will still be a lot of Spring Break crowds, but the Easter madness won't of started yet.

It is P-Week. I think I might lean toward March. We went during President's Week last year, and while it's not Christmas or Easter, I don't think Epcot *ever* looked like it did in the picture above!

Because Easter is so late this year (well into April) mid-late March may not be as bad as it often can be.

Thanks! I was trying to find that!
