When to Go?

[toddml]

Hi all!

We are planning a trip to Disneyworld for next year, coming from England. While my fiancee and myself have been several times, its only ever been in July and at New Year. This time though my mum, sister and her two children are coming. This limits us to the holidays at the cooler times of year.
My question is therefore what would you recommend, coming mid February for a week, or at easter which would be about the 26th March next year? How busy will the parks be around these dates?

Also is there anywhere I can see historically what the park hours have been for these different times of year?

Thanks

Mike

We're going the week before Easter which is supposed to be the very most crowded week. Mid Feb. is around Presidents day here and people were reporting higher than normal crowds for that time.

Can't offer any advice........just a bump

Easter is very, very crowded.

Mid Feb can be Feb vacation for a lot of schoolchildren over here, and may be Presidents weekend, which is pretty busy.

However, I don't think it is AS crowded as Easter. If you can get here, say, the second week of Feb, as opposed to the third week, that would be a great time to go.

Weatherwise, Feb can be very, very cold. I was just there the last week of Feb and we have a few days where I needed a hooded jacket and gloves. I'm told days that cold are rare. Also, be aware that the less crowded a time is, the more rides may be closed for rehab.

Honestly, if it were me, I'd pick Feb over Easter , because though it's colder, the crowds are less.

Good luck and have a great trip!
