Visiting in February?

[casjen]

We'll be visiting the 3rd week of Feb 2013. How is the weather and the crowds? i've heard wide ranges from low 70's and sunny to high 50's and rainy. Thanks!!

The weather can be pretty inconsistent that time of the year. You could get lucky and it be clear and in the 70s or 80s or it could be raining and much cooler. Crowds are generally pretty light then though.

Crowds will be busier around presidents day which is Feb 18, 2013.

Here is some historical weather data:

February is off-season and so be aware of what that means:

Have a magical trip!

We flew in on Presidents Day this year and went to the parks for 4 days. I would say that it was on the busy side but they had extended hours which allowed us mid afternoon breaks and gave us plenty of time to do and see everything.

The weather was great. It was shorts and t-shirt weather for us. The kids even hit the pool during the day. Some people would say the weather was on the cool side but coming from the Pacific NW it was very nice.

I was there Feb 13-17th this year. It was cold in the mornings and evenings (warm jacket or hoodie and or layers) and warm during the day. I only had one day of rain.

We went in Feb 2010 and will go back in Feb 2013
The weather was great for us coming from northern Canada.We could have worn shorts but we wore comfy pants and t-shirts during the day and a hoodie at night. We did swim at the DLH.
We did have one day of torrential rain but we were prepared and had a blast!
As mentioned,there are trade-offs. We could ride POTC as many times as we wanted,back to back, because the crowds were so light.However,the River of America was drained...so no Fantasmic,Columbia,Tom Sawyers island etc.
I will only be dissapointed if they drain the ROA for our upcoming trip.I expect refurbs, but who cares.....I WILL BE IN DISNEYLAND
