Presidents Day Week-End

[beavdisfan]

Has anyone been in WDW over the Presidents Day Weekend?
How crazy busy is it? Our plans for Feb. 2010 have us there over this time. We need to know if the crowds are bad enough to make us change our dates.
Thanks for any help


299 to go and counting

WE where there this year .we arrived late Saturday night Sunday and Monday where very busy lots of families (mostly locals ) lots of people from Brazil some rides had over a 30 min wait and fast passes where gone by early afternoon I would avoid this weekend if i could but it was not really unbearable .

did it once many years ago ... vowed to never do it again. Now that was before there was such a thing as FP's, so maybe it's not quite as bad anymore. I wonder if it's one of those times where the parks reach capacity and they close the gates? 'Cause if that happens regularly on that weekend, then you definitely do NOT want to be there.

Avoid it if you can. We were there the week before Pres Day - Sunday through Wed were great - no waits. On Thursday it was nuts! You also have to keep in mind that the Daytona 500 also runs around that same time - alot of people do Disney and Daytona because they are so close.

We were at WDW this year over President's weekend, and it was a bit zoo like. We were at CB and there were twirlers and cheerleaders all over the place. Found that by 1:00 all FP's were gone for rides like test track and soarin'. We had the most trouble at Epcot, could have been the day we were there.

Good luck
