Presidents Day Crowds???

[Ian.Whiteley]

Hi,

Wondered if anyone had any experience of crowd levels around this time. We have never been mid-late Feb before (always May, July/August) and wondered how the crowds are affected by this public bank holiday. Also....any idea of likely weather conditions???

Thanks

Presidents day is rock solid. One of their busiest days of the year now. The Monday is also supposed to be busy. But it dies down the next day to the low season again.

I'd avoid parks Presidents day and the Monday, and just shop, watch a movie or something.

Weather is a bit hit and miss I hear. Been twice in Feb. Once was cool mornings/evenings, but very warm the rest of the time. Last year in late Feb, it was glorious. Very warm - hot, not a drop of rain.

Next time we go, it will be Feb.

We were not really aware of President's Day when we went in February, other than there were special sales that week. To be honest we didn't really notice any difference in crowd levels in the parks on that day. Though we always hit the parks early and even in July by doing this crowds are not a problem and rides are walk ons.

Weather has been a bit inconsistent. First time a couple of days overcast with a bit of light rain still in shorts/teeshirts most of the time, sometimes needed a slightly warmer covering. 2nd time quite a few heavy rain showers, a tornado, Spring/Early Summer (for us) type temperatures, shorts and trousers type of weather. The last time red hot all of the time and no rain.

We were there for Presidents Day and a few days afterwards this year and it was heaving. The crowds didn't seem much lighter for the 3 days after Presidents Day. Apparently alot of US schools have brought forward their Spring Break to this week and it is now one of the busiest weeks of the year at WDW.

We would definately go again in Feb but next time we will go earlier so as to miss Presidents Day altogether.

Same here Joanne -we avoided the Disney parks around Presidents weekend, but did Seaworld and Universal, and the crowds were ok

For future reference everybody - they are crazy crowds.It was horrendous even getting into Magic Kingdom and we turned round and got back on the bus to the hotel!!
The Monday and Tuesday were busier than the week before too.
If you can avoid it - do!!!
