im going to disneyland and disneys california adventures on Feb. 17-19 for my nephews birthday. i was wondering if any of you know if they are expecting large crowds. i heard that the best time to go to disneyland is in Feb. Also i would like to know what is the best way to celebrate a 4 year olds birthday in Disneyland.

Expect it to be fairly busy. That's President's Day weekend.

Yep, Feb is a good time to go, but not during a holiday. While it won't be anything like the spring break crowds, anticipate it to be busy. I actually had our trip planned them and moved it back, because I didn't want to be there during the holiday.

Well, I am going to be there that weekend and I know of quite a few others as well. Someone sent me a site on another thread that shows a graph of park crowds, and while President's Day weekend is spiked up there, it is the least busy of the busy (that comforted me a little!)

I just read over on Al Lutz' article today that Disneyland is expecting around 58,000 people each day over Presidents Day weekend - that is roughly the same crowds they get between Christmas and New Years.

That is *if* it doesn't rain! We'll still be there though. :)

I think there needs to be a thread stickied to the top where people can ask about crowds in there instead of starting a new thread each time.

Anyways, to answer your question: BUSY!

I also moved my trip back for the spring break crowds. An excelent way to figure out the crownd anticipations is look at the park hours.

I would look at the park hours to judge the attendance anticapations.

Wow, 58,000 people? We will be there 2/15-22. When I originally bought our airfares, I thought this was a slow weekend there! Doh! I haven't been to DL since 1978 and my boys 10 & 14 have never been. We have the So Cal Pass, will spend 2 days in DL, 1 in DCA. Saturday 2/18 we are at SeaWorld and then I'm planning Sun or Mon for Universal. I'm thinking Thu 2/16 and Tue 2/21 in DL and Fri 2/17 in DCA.

Anyone think I should spend our 3 DL/DCA days differently? I did get Ridemax to use. (I set up a few itineraries, I am surprised at how busy DCA seems to be on both Fri 2/17 and Tue 2/21...)

Thanks for any and all help/advice :-)

I forgot to ask where the Al Lutz article is that talked about the 58,000 people there for Presidents Day weekend. I searched with google and didn't find it anywhere, even reading about Al Lutz and at his site, etc. I'd like to read the article, can you point me to it? Thanks :-)
