Woo-Hoo DH said ok Feb 25-28. Help? Advice?

[daisylove]

Just got unintentional and perhaps unknowing encouragement and approval from DH for me to take DD5 and myself to WDW in February. DH will stay at home. This will be Feb 25-28ish. Short trip to tide us over until our June biggie. Any advice? I know presidents week is feb 21-25. How is it right after presidents week like we are going??? Have to call tomorrow for hotel. So Happy!!!! I was going through withdrawal.

We'll be there at the same time....25th to 3/2. I made my room reservation about 2 weeks ago, and have been calling to get PS's since then. I have had my pick of times for all the PS's that I have tried to get, which leads me to believe it wont be TOO bad.

That makes me happy to hear. I was a little worried there wouldbe overflow from presidents week. Will call in a little bit for room. Crossing my fingers.

I don't think crowds will be bad for you at that time, it's mainly Feb 18-22 that the President's Day crowds are there from what I've learned. Have a fun trip!

I'll be there 2/26-3/5 with DH, DS and DD. Can't wait. I hope it's not too crowded. I haven't had trouble with PS's either, which makes me feel good about crowds.

That's ESPN weekend. I am sure that it will be more crowded than usual.

 

[daisylove]

What is ESPN weekend? What does that mean for park attendance?
