Three years in a row? I can't believe it. I hope it's just enough to keep the crowds down. :D

I hope it rains, just a little! I'll be there 17-19.. rain or shine. Weather.com is only showing "few showers" on Sun, though

I used this link:

Others use weather. com but I personally find that unreliable. Actually, all weather forecasts are pretty much unreliable, but am happy because it's the forecasts that keep the crowds at bay.

Hee, hee! I'll see what I can do;) I am from Oregon and have my "webbed feet" already, so rain doesn't bother me. If I have to choose between rain and herds of humans, well.....easy enough!:p
To everybody that's going President's Day weekend, have a great trip! See you there, rain or shine!

A little rain is probably good to keep the crowds down. Last year was a bit much though as there was so much rain that Pirates of the Carribean was leaking and 2 rooms at the Candy Cane Inn were flooded.

The most telling are the forcast discussions at the National Weather Service. They are a bit technical but they will actually tell you when they don't have a clue and just have to guess since the forcast models don't agree.

I'm not surprised that it's going to rain this weekend. It will be my first trip to DL in over 18 years so of course it has to rain. LOL

I won't be there until Monday (well we get in late Sunday afternoon so we'll spend that day shopping) so I hope it's nice by then.

I read that the worst of the rain will be Saturday night (40%). So much for my plans for the Imagination to Celebration tour! Oh well. It is supposed to clear up by Monday. Of course, it is drizzling here due to a heavy marine layer and a cold front from Alaska. Weather is crazy! I got sunburned from standing outside for 10 minutes Saturday! If your staying Friday through Tuesday, bring your umbrella *and* your sunscreen.

We have gone to Disneyland it has rained the last 2 presidents' day weekends. Fireworks were pretty much cancelled all days except one each weekend. There was a *huge* storm last year so it pretty much flooded a lot of places in Disneyland. In particular, the exit of Indy you had to walk along the edge of the path hanging on to the rope fence or you would end up in a big puddle. Teacups close right away. Alice always closes. Other rides that are exposed such as rockets, Autopia and Dumbo stay open until it starts to puddle. By that point, we are usually going to indoor rides anyway. As long as it doesn't rain when they set up fireworks or Fantasmic! the show will go on. If it is raining during set-up, they will cancel. So, sprinkles are okay. The other problem is high winds. That will cancel fireworks but they wait until the last minute to find out if the winds die down before they cancel, and even wait for a period of time before giving up. Fastpasses are shut down too. Oh, I now know why they geve the Orange Stinger its name. When you ride it in the rain, it *stings*. I am happy we didn't shell out the money for the unlimited fastpass! We won't need it. I just hope they fixed the windows on the monorail, or at least have them closed now. I hate getting rained on in the monorail. It's snuggle weather! Yay!

We can forget about fireworks Saturday night. 50-70% chance of rain! 30% chance during the day. That's what I get for buying tour tickets.
