Presidents' Week crowds/rates?

[bigmama67]

Hi, we are having to postpone our August trip (unfortunately!) and I am looking at Presidents' Week 2011. We alreayd have the 7 day passes but what are the rates like at the hotels at that time, and how bad are the crowds? Any input would be appreciated, thanks very much!

We were there last President's Day weekend. Rates were higher than I liked. Our APH rate was $199 that weekend compared to $159 this summer. (RPR)

The lines/crowds weren't bad at all, but that was mainly because of the express you get by staying onsite. We didn't really have any waits that I remember - maybe 10 minutes tops except HRRR which doesn't have express and broke down after waiting 30 minutes for it.

We were also able to enjoy the Mardi Gras parade which was tons of fun!
