Water parks and swimming in Feb

[kirkharrod]

Is the water warm enough to go to the water parks and pools in February? Thanks.

Depends on where you're coming from! LOL It's about 8 degrees where I am right now, so chances are good that we'll be swimming...anything above 60 would feel downright tropical!

Seriously, the water is heated, so the air temps are what you need to think about. Temps this time of year can vary a lot. Within the same week you may have highs in the mid 70's or the lower 60's. My kids would swim with temps in the 60's, but I would need it to be above 70 I think.

I just read back over that...it didn't help at all did it? Sorry!

As already stated, the air temp is the important temp to be concerned about.

We have been to WDW 4 times in February and each time it was warm enough to both swim in the pools and visit the waterparks.

Last trip down in Feb. 2 years ago we did not feel it was warm enough to warrant a day at a water park. Warmest day was 72 degrees! But my kids swam almost every day at the resort pool.

Feb. and Jan are so up in the air weather wise. We went for MLK one year and it was 80 every day and we did a whole day at TL.

Keep our fingers crossed for this year!

I'm anticipating at least a few hops in the pool (at least for the kids) so I bought a hooded towl for my youngest. I got the stitch one from TDS but any thick hooded towel would help - the oldest will probably just throw on a hooded sweatshirt for the trip back to the room.
