We're going during Feb half term. I've been given mixed responses so am not sure what to expect. We have booked our 3 FP+ per day and managed to get FOP and SDC without much of an issue.

We've been in June before which we found busy but manageable. I'm hoping for something similar.

We usually go around feb half term, nice warm weather, may need a jumper pr jacket in evening. We dont find it too busy, this year its Presidents day on the Monday, but we are in new york for that, then travelling down mid week to orlando.

We were there February last year over half term, 10th-24th. It was very hot (far hotter than my previous February trips), and very busy. However, despite that it was manageable with fastpass use and planning, we didn’t have any excessive waits. There were a few times it felt very crowded though, particularly in MK and AK.

Having said that, I would still happily go again at that time of year.

we are there over half term. EEEEK not long to wait now! we found the weather nice, can be chilly but i prefer that to red hot as it makes the long days more manageable. the cheerleaders are there in feb and that can be busy. we only really found presidents weekend mega busy.

Was rather chilly at night when we went, days were sunny, maybe frost on car in the mornings but still better than at home!

We went Feb half term a few years ago. Weather was variable - some chilly days, some very warm days and a couple of days quite hot. We needed jackets in the evenings, but overall we found the weather was much more pleasant than in the summer months.

It was busy around Presidents Day, but as previous posters have said, with FastPass use it wasn’t bad. The second week we stayed a couple of nights at Universals Hard Rock to get the Express Passes and early entry. We didn’t need these though as Universal was really quiet.

Overall we thought it was a great time of year to go.

9ur first trip in 2013 was over the February half term. The weather was glorious! Needed a jacket in the morning and evening but not during the day. We had a couple of days of 28 degree sunshine, we hit the pool on those. It didn't feel busy, and that was without front of the line passes at Universal and old style paper fast passes at Disney.

The only thing that has stopped us going back at the same time since is the weather at home. We had problems with our pet sitter being able to make it to our house due to snow. It added a level of stress that I can do without, but not any fault of Orlando.

We are going for the first time with our last week been half term, flying out on the 7th so hoping that it won't be too busy. We have been in September, May and June before so fingers crossed.
