We were at WDW last Feb. (1 to 6) and we didn't camp, we were at the Poly and it was cold. Unusual yes, but it was cold, 29º one morning.

It depends on how you feel about cool to cold weather camping. Myself, I do all my camping in the fall and winter months. I can't stand sleeping in the hot summer air. I'm also contemplating tent camping at FW late January, early Feb. Take plenty of warm stuff (blankets or a heater even) in case a cold snap comes through and you should be fine.

If it gets too cold, don't count on a propane heater.
We bring an electric heater with us in the winter.
We have done this in Jan, and have always been fine.

Good luck!!

We were at WDW from the 2-9, and you got THAT right - it was AWFUL cold, lol! On our MK morning, when we left, it was 30 degrees out! The horror! LOL! But with that said, that was pretty unusual weather for that time of year. In 2008 we went from Feb 9-14, and the week prior to our visit, it was in the upper 70's and low 80's. So it's just a surprise, is all! LOL!

I say go for it!

We tent camp, and if you have a proper sleeping bag, it isn't bad at all, even if it gets below freezing. I still say go for it, even though it might be chilly.
