Well you never know ..though I'm guessing it will be busy! We'll be there feb 19 - feb 23 so I'll let you know LOL...I know I am going with the attitude of WHATEVER and take it from there. ( Or as DaddyB says just keep saying Hakuna Mata..LOL) Hope you have fun if you go!

I really don't know. My SoCal pass is blocked that weekend(including Monday), so I get a feeling that it could be very crowded. I have both the Official & Unofficial Guides & they say that avoid Presidents Weekend, especially if you will get irritated easliy by the crowds. Personally, I would avoid this weekend & go after, like Tuesday.

It will be extremely busy - not close the Parks busy but very crowded all weekend; including Monday.

I'm finding all Mondays more crowded than other weekdays (except maybe Friday, but I never go on Fridays). I suspect it's mostly out-of-town folks making four-day weekends. The most crowded day I've seen so far since the celebration started (and I was there in August, too ) was Yom Kippur (which I think was a Thursday?). Every enlightened school district in SoCA was closed that day and all the non-Jewish folk went to Disneyland. The park even extended the hours. I'm betting President's Day will be crowded, too. Just brace for the people non-mover experience. It can be fun, too.

Just a little heads up, there's a cheer competition that I will be there for that weekend so it'll be CRAZY! If you want to go anytime soon, don't go the weekend starting or ending Presidents' week due to major cheer competitions. And let me tell you, everyone and their mother goes to cheer competitons, so TONS of people will be there.

Tinker Bell2468-
Out of curiousity, what are the dates of the cheer competition?

[Tinker Bell2468]

The one ending Presidents' week is the 24-26. I'm not sure about the one starting it. Some friends of mine told me that they were going the weelend before I saw, so I'm not sure on those exact dates, but I think it's the 18-20th. Again I'm not to sure about those dates. I'll ask my friend who is going about those dates today at school and get back to you.

UUUUUUUUUUUUHHHGG!!!!!!!! The wife and I will be there on the 19th for a nice little valentines celebration. We do this every year, and yes, every year it's an absolute MADHOUSE, make no mistake about it, it's pure mayhem and the Cheerleaders make it 100 times worse. As a matter of fact there was a thread here not to long ago talking about "Things that annoy you while in line", anyone involved in that topic knows that we spent a good amount of time talking about them dreaded cheerleaders and how annoying they truly are!!!!!! WHY WHY WHY must they schedule these frickin cheerleading competetions on presidents day weekend!?

I will be bringing my video camera and attempt to capture this annoying behavior on tape so that you fine people can witness the horror known as "Cheeleders in the que".

Ok, I think you're going a little overboard with the cheerleaders thing. That right there is called sterotyping. Not all cheerleaders are like that, I should know, I am one and live with two others. Now my explanation for the ones that are being crazy, it's the first time they've had alot of fun in months. This competition is a Nationals competition and you can only go if you qualify at a previous cometition. It takes ALOT of hard work to get there which means countless hours of practice. The major key to cheerleading is dedication. That means you have to give up alot of things the become a good squad, that means time to have fun after school/work. So cut us a little slack ok!

Ahh man! I am going to be there the 24th and 25th, and was hoping it would be quieter, since it is after the holiday weekend. Oh well

It's going to be VERY busy that weekend!! The best way to get through the day is to get there right before they open. You can usually get a lot of the big rides out of the way before the really big crowds get there. Because as the day goes on the crowds get larger and larger! Remember use fastpass as much as possible.

i was talking about just that sunday not 24-25....when the cheerleaders are going to be there
