Crowds high AFTER Presidents Day Week (2/28 - 3/11)?

Weeks of 2/28 and 3/7 are showing REALLY high. My thinking was that with the winter break (Presidents Week) being over, the Princess Half Marathon finished up, and college spring breaks yet to start…these would be great weeks to book. I am second guessing myself now after looking at the crowd calendar and wondering what I could be missing? Any advice appreciated:)!

We were there during that time in 2020 right before the park closed. The crowds were absolutely insane!! Even the CM ‘s were saying they had not predicted the crowds correctly that week!

Welcome to the Forum!

There was previous discussion on the high crowd calendar numbers for early March. I think those weeks may be slightly inflated. BUT, it is an odd year. Presidents Day is late and then Mardi Gras is March 1st. And also, the spring break crowds actually start coming in the first full weekend of March already.

I visited the week of 2/28 this year and the crowds were not bad, but I would expect it to be busier next year.

I think the first half of February is going to be a great time to visit in winter 2022.

Thanks for insight guys!!

that’s one of our fave times to go, but 2022 is a no go for those dates because of how mardi gras falls and the return of rundisney. we were there in 2020 right before they closed, and 3/1-3/6 were totally fine and manageable… that weekend it went BONKERS with incoming folks. was glad we were leaving not coming in.

Makes sense!! Thank you all so much for commenting - I thought I was going crazy looking at the crowd calendar numbers! :wink:

Hello. The crowd calendar shows 9 for Wed. 3/9 and 8 for Thurs. 3/10, but 6 for Fri. and Sat. I’m new here, but wouldn’t Fri. and Sat. be busier in general?
HS and MK are my priorities. Should I go to HS on Wed. at level 9 or Fri./Sat. at level 6? I would like to experience Galaxy’s Edge with less of a crowd. Will probably go at 8am.

Welcome!

Current patterns are still indicating that weekends are slightly less crowded.

If the goal is to do GE with less of a crowd then I would pick the day that is the most convenient for me regardless of crowd levels. Focus on being in GE as early as possible (if you have early entry benefits show up very early even for that) and also plan to be there at the end of the evening, lingering a bit after park close. It’s going to be very busy in GE late morning, midday, and evening at any of those crowd levels.
