WDW - go in February or April ?

[Legend_073]

I really can't decide on when to go to WDW next year?

We have a choice between:

Feb 13-20
Feb 20-27
April 17-24

Does anyone have any pros/cons about each of these times, to help me decide?

TIA for your replys!

Find out when Presidents Day is next year, that whole week is really busy. A lady I know just got back this past weekend and said that last year they went the week of Presidents Day and never again. This past week was really quiet there.
I like April myself, the weather in Florida is beautiful! Hot and I don't have to worry about winter driving and road closures to get to the airport.
I would be nice to get away from the snow in Feb. too!
Good Luck with your decision!

For the past 7 years we have always gone the last week of January and the first week of February - weather this year we had rain for an hour on one day other than that anything from high 60's to low 80's. Nothing really in lines, so if you can go earlier might be better. Are you taking any kids with you??

I believe you have picked President's week times in which cases the parks will be busier.

Will you be staying on the property??

Any questions PM me and I'll help if I can.

also check when Easter is in March/April. The week before Easter is brutal!!

Feb. 16, 2009 is Presidents' Day
Apr. 12, 2009 is Easter Sunday

You will experience crowds as well as Disney Holiday pricing for rooms and meals.

Your Feb 13-20 is a bad choice because part of your stay is during Presidents Week and your Feb 20-27 is not so good for the same reason (first half is cutting into Presidents Week).
Easter Monday is on 13th April next year so although there are a few folk who extend the Easter period into a week,the latter part of your stay should be quieter.
On the weather front ,your April dates are much more dependable (although it can be nice in Feb as well)

Myself, I would vote for the April stay. The weather is usually beautiful at that time and it is nice and warm for swimming etc. Also............the Flower and Garden Show is on at that time at Epcot. If it is something you haven't seen before, you really should try it.

I would vote for April as well. We went this year in mid January and it was COLD - one day the high was 57° F. We had a couple days in the high 60's but I find the temps in January or February to be too unpredictable. A few years ago we went in February, during President's Week, and although I didn't find the crowds to be too bad, again we had some pretty cool weather. We have always gone in off-season for the lower resort rates but I'd rather pay a little more and know that we have a pretty good chance of good weather.

April....for sure. We went last year for our 1st April stay...it was the end of April. Beautiful weather and not too crowded!

April ususally changes to value season after mid month, so go for April.
