President's Week - Which is Busier

[DeannaMKB]

Wondering which days would have higher crowds: the Friday/Saturday before President's Day or the Thur/Fri/Saturday after President's Day?

Or would they be comparable?
Or would the crowds be light enough regardless at that time of year that it wouldn't be anything to worry about either way?
Keep in mind, I am an uberplanner and will be coming in with a touring plan.

Thanks for your help!

Before would be busier. Most just have the 3 day weekend and if schools get a full week, it's typically the week prior to Presidents Day.

Just to let you know, a lot of Southern Arizona heads to DL that Thursday- Sunday, since they don't get presidents weekend off, they have Rodeo off and seems like everyone heads to DL. Also there is usually is a cheerleading conference there that same weekend, so you get that overflow.

You mean the Thurs-Sun before President's Day (so the actual weekend)??

Historically it is busy the whole time. A lot of schools get Fri and Monday off. Another group of schools get a winter break the week of Presidents week.

When I was deciding the trip dates I looked at the hotels and flights and everything was a lot more expensive.

I would plan on a fairly busy few days before and after.

Something in Arizona. - the thing that lucky1 was mentioning and that I thought you wanted to know the dates of... Since the kids have it off from school, a lot of Arizonans head to Disneyland that weekend. In 2012, it's Feb 23 -24 that the kids have off from school.

Thank you so much! That is very very helpful! Yes, if there's an influx of Arizon-ites (?) that would be good to know. I appreciate your help! That's exactly the type of information I am looking for!
