Mardi Gras 2005

Has anyone ever gone to Disney during Mardi Gras holidays? Next year, it wii be around the 7th of February. Just wondering if this would be a great time to go with milder weather and lower attendance at the resorts. Thanks for any input.

Wondering the same thing. Would like to go during this time, but Mardi Gras is early this year. Just worried about the weather.
Would also like to know about crowds, also?? We usually go in May and are worried some shows, rides, etc. might be closed.
Thanks

We go every year during Mardi Gras to avoid the crowds here in town. Attendance varies each year depending upon the proximity of Mardi Gras Day to President's Day. Since Mardi Gras is early next year, you should avoid the President's Day crowds by a couple of weeks.

The weather varies, from mild to downright chilly. You'll have to check the weather patterns closer to your trip. I know that we'll be there during that time!
