Presidents week..crowd level?

[nikkimc]

We are going to Orlando Feb 16-23 2011...Presidents day is Monday Feb 21. I know the crowd level at Disney can be unbearable starting the weekend before Presidents day...what about Universal and Seaworld? We are planning to do DW Thurs and Friday before the big crowds set in there...and then will do Universal and Seaworld either Saturday & Sunday, or Monday (pres day) & Tuesday. Just wonder what to expect for crowds so we can plan our days accordingly. I'd like to get all the parks out of the way and spend Mon/Tues at the Gulf or Ocean, and somewhere else lower key than the parks...to sorta wind down before flying home.

We found moderate crowds last year during President's Week. I would imagine it will be heavier this year.

Just wondering - why would it be heavier this year? We've never been during President's Week and I'm nervous about the heavy crowds expected.

Is it shoulder to Shoulder crowded form the 16th-20th? Or just lightly crowd untill President day on the 21st?

No...it's not that crowded but the wait times definitely grew during the week. I went to the Mardi Gras parade that Saturday night and it wasn't too bad.
