President's Day crowds and Fastpass+ Question

[stan30k]

Hi. We are currently looking to possibly do a last minute trip to the World next weekend, President's Day weekend, from the 15th to the 19th. How are the crowds that weekend and President's Day? We have been before on basically every major holiday except this one. How do the crowds compare?
On another note, for the above mentioned possible trip, what is the possibility that we will be able to get any fastpass+ selections that we want?
Thanks for the help.

We're there last year for PW and crowds were big. Not Christmas big but big nonetheless. It didn't helped Mardi Gras was just a week earlier and most of Louisiana had that week off, making crowds even bigger. I can say anything about Disney because I'd had already moved off site and we were doing Universal/Seaworld but crowds on PW weekend at IOA were the biggest I've ever experienced.

If you plan to get any FPs while in the parks, plan to stand in long lines.

I've never been in February. It being a 4 day weekend some places for schools I would think you would see crowds. Still any last minute trip to WDW crowded or not is better than sitting at home...

I am from Fl and we are headed up Friday night for 4 days since the kids are out of school Mon and Tues. From what I've read Feb is noce and quiet and then BOOM- Presidents day weekend. The forcast is also low 50's overnight and low 70's during the day- anyone who can go - will go. Have a great trip if you decide!

That's what I say. If you can go, for sure, go.

I figured that the crowds would be larger due to schools being off. I am a teacher and am pretty much stuck with going on holidays or the steamy summer months. This trip is still up in the air, flights are outrageously priced. Decisions, decisions!

I know I would prefer to fly but it would be over $ 500 bucks a person for me to fly over spring break so I am goig to do the 1000 mile dash in the car
