Ok, what do you think of February!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well our Christmas trip is off due to money reasons. Now I am thinking of February, during the kids school break. Can anyone tell me anything about the week of February 19-25?

Re: Ok, what do you think of February!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gorgeous weather!!! My dh and I were there this past February, but we left on the 18th, right before Presidents Day. From what I understand, it starts getting a little bit busy then(think Spring breaks), however I am used to summer touring and the crowds are nothing like that! The weather is so gorgeous!! Definitely plan on layers as it did get a little chilly in the evenings.

Re: Ok, what do you think of February!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to disagree with some of you. I have gone to DW in Febuary twice. Once was school vacation week, It was busy (but tolerable) But the weather was terrible!!!!!!!! It was rainy and damp. I also tried the begining of Feb and it was just a miserable 5 years later. I just want you to be prepared for the possiblity. If it was Feb. or nothing you bet I would go, but if I had my choice I would go in March or May. HOpe this helps.

Re: Ok, what do you think of February!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've gone in Feb before and the weather was cooler (spring-like weather in CT)...but it was nice. Although I can't say how the crowd situation would be (we went before the break) I think the crowds would be tolerable if the weather is not steamy also. Our next vacation will be during the Feb break in 2007...so I'll be looking for a report when you get back

Re: Ok, what do you think of February!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've gone to WDW once during February (the last week to be precise)and weather and crowd-wise, it's my favorite time of year that I've experienced there. The parks were practically deserted and the weather was fabulous (mid-seventies to mid-eighties with no humidity). We also only saw one day when there was any rain at all.

Re: Ok, what do you think of February!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last week in February is our winter break. We have gone several times and it has always been nice-weather was sweatshirt chilly a few mornings but nice most of the time. The crowds were always pretty low as we are before most spring breaks but after most winter/February vacations.

I've heard the third week can be crowded as that's the traditional week for most of New England.

I liked my February trip but it was cold, rainy, and a little of both some days. The day we went to AK, it rained like crazy BUT it cleared out the park and we enjoyed a leisurely time! Just bring some ponchos!!

Re: Ok, what do you think of February!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We went the end of last February - see our trip report for details. The weather was variable & a little chilly for Florida (tho balmy compared to back home!) The first few days were t-shirt & shorts, while the last day was jeans, tshirt & sweatshirt. Bring layers as you would in December.

We did have 1 day of rain, but our willingness to be out in the weather made for the least busy visit to MK I have ever seen - we rode EVERYTHING in Fantasyland within about 3 hours.

Crowds weren't an issue at all, from what I remember.

Re: Ok, what do you think of February!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We went in February 1999 and wore shorts most days, although we are from New England and just about anything would feel warmer than it was at home! As for the crowds...it was busy, but tolerable....certainly not like our 4th of July trip last summer. I'm sure President's Week will be much less busy than it would be the week of Christmas!

Hope this helps!
