Second Week of February: Something going on?

[countofmc]

Planning a late minute trip the week after Superbowl Feb 8-10. The main off-site hotels we look at are DoubleTree, Indigo, and Hyatt Place, and they are more expensive than I remember it being during what's supposedly an off-season week.

Checking Crowd Calendar and it's a "Hey it's alright" week, so not sure if something is going on at DLand or Anaheim that week?

It might be because of AP month for February.

It could be that prices are just going up - it is more expensive every year we come to visit and I honestly think "off season" is a term no one uses anymore which is too bad. The AP month thing was just announced though.

There is a Medical Design & Manufacturing convention the 9-11, which could cause rooms rates to go up quite a bit.

It shows 35,000 attendees and 3500 estimated rooms being booked.

Mardi Gras is 2/9.

We went last year and the local schools are off that Monday (which we did not know). It was PACKED (30+ minutes for the Jungle Cruise by 10AM on Monday and Tuesday)! We decided on that trip no more "off season" for us, it is just as busy with a ton of closures. We'd rather go in June and get to ride the water rides!

This is a great thread - it includes a lot of events going on in the area and the school breaks. Very useful in planning when you want to visit.

Super Bowl has been pretty crowded for about 10 years now. Sometimes when a local-ish team goes some people will watch, but generally it's more crowded than other Sundays. It's also starting to be prime ski week/school break time in some places.
