Which dates to go?

[rajay320]

Hi! I'm a long time lurker and first time poster!

We have annual passes and I want to take my little one to Disney for 4 days for her upcoming 3rd birthday. Here is my dilemma....I am trying to avoid the evil President's week crowds. Here are the dates I'm looking at

Feb 16-19 (With Pres day being the 20th, is this a BAD idea?)
March 2-5
March 9-12

Or possibly Feb 9-12 (which is what I prefer, but don't know if work schedule will allow me to do those dates).

So looking at the first 3 sets of dates, which is my best bet for the lowest crowds?

Thanks!!

Personally, I'd rather go for the presidents week crowds over the March crowds. March 2 - 5 isn't SO bad, but 9 - 12 will be a disaster, since college breaks begin that second week in march.

I'd say March 2 - 5 and Feb 16-19 will be pretty even. My opinion: choose one of those.

Of course if you COULD go on the earlier Feb. dates, I'd take those immediately to completely bypass the crowds... (all you'll have to worry about during those times are noisy cheerleaders if you stay in the Least expensive-Moderate hotels)

Great...thanks for your suggestion! I'm going to try to see if I can make the earlier dates work for us somehow.

Definitely March 2nd-5th will be the best crowd wise. There is a little break after President's week and the last week in February where crowds won't be so bad before spring breaks start and those dates (out of your choices) are it.
