Which winter week is less crowded?

[NewRocDad]

1st post-no more lurking! DW and I are taking DS4 and DD2 for 1st WDW trip(!!) to stay at FQ. We are even bringing DMIL(63)! We have narrowed it down to 7 nights (Monday, Jan. 28-Monday, Feb. 4) OR 8 nights (Sunday, Feb.3-Monday, Feb. 11). My instinct says, hey, 8 is better than 7, right? But should I be concerned about the parks being more crowded due to school vacations in Feb.? When are most school winter breaks anyway?

Thanks to all you Disney geniuses!

I'm not a Disney genius, but here's what I know. The week of President's Day is VERY crowded from what I've heard. Your second option would be putting you into that crowd I think. Definitely go w/ option 1! 8 days won't matter if it's super crowded! Hopefully someone else can chime in!

Welcome!
We are also going in Feb (5-11th) and the 11th is a whole week before presidents day.
You will be fine, I'd go for the 8 days. Heck, its still value season, until the 15th.
Now, the next weekend, that would be much busier.

I am going Feb 2nd - 9th with a friend and her DS and my DD! We went this week last year and it was a blast! The weather was wonderful and crowds low. We just made some ADR's yesterday and got everything we wanted, so I am hoping this is a good sign for crowd levels.
