President's Day 2017-What to do?

[hotveggy]

we will be there 2/15-2/22 with no park hoppers. Trying to figure out our days for ADRs this week. Disney hasn't released the hours for this week yet.

We usually go in January so I am anxious about these crowds!!! What should we avoid and when?!

We go over the summer, when the crowds are typically pretty high anyway. So here's what I would do:

Go to EASYWDW.com, and find the park recommendations. That will break down your basic schedule.

Then plan your FPs starting at around 11am, regardless of the time the park opens. It buys you a good 2 hours to hit the rides from rope drop with minimal crowds before you'll need a FP.

Agree with the above. Go to easywdw crowd calculator and try to listen to Josh's advice on what parks to avoid for those days. I think that's also during the princess half marathon which will make it more busy too. Have a great trip!

Everyone there on President's Day should go to MK! (leave the rest of the parks empty for us! ). We're staying at BCV. Planning a light day - breakfast at Cape May, FP for FEA (oh please please please please please) then try for additional FPs at HS (not our only day at either park, so not critical), hanging out in the WS (pick-a-pearl for DD, etc), early dinner at Via Napoli, and either Fantasmic or the Star Wars Dessert party (if it exists then). Maybe some pool time if it's warm.
