While Disney World is busy for a good portion of the year, there are times when crowd levels are lower.

February is typically one of these months since kids are in school and parents are working to prepare for a potential summer vacation. However, if you were planning to visit Disney World in February this year, here’s why you may want to reconsider.
Valentine’s Day is typically busy in Disney World, which is to be expected, but there’s another holiday happening the day before — and some students even have a school break for the event!

Mardi Gras happens early this year, with Fat Tuesday on February 13th. And in Louisiana, most students have time off of school, and some parents even have off from work! So when you combine Valentine’s Day and Mardi Gras crowds, you see where we’re going with this.

The second week of February may be WAY more crowded than most people expect if they’re unaware of this combination of holidays. So, when should you go instead? We recommend either the middle to end of January or the middle to end of February!

Don’t forget that you can also celebrate Mardi Gras in a big way in Universal Orlando, so you could double your vacation by celebrating the holiday in both parks. We’re always here to bring you the latest Disney news, so stay tuned to AllEars!
Don’t forget about this OTHER major event happening in Disney World in February!
