Help me pick a week in febuary!!!

[petey]

Hello Disney Experts. I want to go to the World in Febuary, but am going back & forth as to the week. The choices are: Feb. 13th thru 20th, or Feb. 20th thru 27th. I think president's week falls the week of Feb. 20th. Are the crowds really that bad or is it just that weekend Feb 18th-Feb 20th, and things start to calm back down that Mon. Feb. 21st? I was also
interested in seeing ESPN The Weekend, as I had a great time last year. Any dates out yet for 2011? Also MLB spring training is fun to attend, and
I am not sure how early they get started in Febuary? What do you think? I need your input please!!! I will probaly book at AKL, or second choice would be WL. Thanks so much, and magical thoughts!!!!

I'd pick the 13-20th. The following week is presidents day, Princess half marathon, ESPN the weekend and winter break up here in the Northeast, which all means higher crowds.

According to the crowd calendar on touringplans.com, the 13th-20th will be much less crowded than the 20th-27th, so that would seal the deal for me....I'd pick the 13th-20th.

The week of Washington's birthday is a school vacation week in Massachusetts, and usually the following week is vacation in New Hampshire. I know after about 8 weeks of winter a lot of people from New England head down to WDW.

I'd go with the 13th-20. Here in NY we always have vacation the following week. It will be much less crowded. Have fun!!

WDW is packed with people from Massachusetts that week. would go the week before. the week of presidents day and winter break is more packed than spring break week in april.

Yep, 13th - 20th. President's day gets pretty busy. And I swear something is happening on the weekend of the 5th, I can't remember.

Anyhow, I'll be there 13th to 19th. See you there!!

We have never been there over Valentine's day (preceding weekend as well) ..... free dining is offered at that time too, anyone have experience during that time frame? crowds? weather? anything going on down there then?

I'm with everyone else. Choose the earlier week. Don't forget to take advantage of the deals.
