But for the most part, it should be a nice time to visit.

This year I was able to wear shorts almost every day except at night. The weather was around the 70s in the day but at night dropped down to 50s. No rain at all. I only go in Feb for my Bday. Other than that I would not go in Feb.
Originally Posted By MPierce The weather is the only drawback. Don't count on wearing your shorts, and bring sweatshirts, and a light jacket. You could end up with spring like weather, but most likely you will need a light wrap at night. I've gone the last 12 Februarys. While the crowds have steadily increased the last few years, I think you will enjoy it.

The first two or three days of our trip were miserably cold - at least for someone from the South who isn't used to colder weather. You Yankees might find it downright sweltering! .

Originally Posted By DVC_dad The last week of Feb is one of the main times that we go to WDW. It's always been very easy to ride, do, and see everything with the whole family.

It has never been COLD for us during that week that I can recall since 1998 when we first started going to WDW in Feb. I think you will love it at that time of year, besides you will be with your boyfriend. I know that when I was dating my wife, (we were 14 years old) I would have loved going anywhere with her and her family and still feel that way today. You'll have fun.
Originally Posted By sun-n-fun We've been there 3 times during pres week. 1st time - hot hot hot shorts and tank tops every day, which being from NYS was AWESOME!! 2nd time jeans and sweatshirts every day (when ther is an ice storm at home, you don't mind as much) and this past Feb, it was a mix. The first 3 days it was chilly, but we wore shorts and sweatshirts - you can always tell who's from the north- ans shorts by the end of the week. We have learned not to go into a park on Sun or pres day Mon. Other than that it's not bad.
Originally Posted By The Duck I have a time share about 10 minutes away so I always visit the same time every year. Last week of Jan. going into Feb.

HOWEVER....Feb. 2008 might not be so great. I live in the New Orleans area and TONS of locals go to WDW during Mardi Gras (we leave the debauchery for the tourists!) and since Mardi Gras is in early Feb. in 2008 the crowds might be a bit large. Also, a cast member friend told me to NOT come during Mardi Gras for this same reason.
Originally Posted By NikkiLOVESMickey I've abandoned New Orleans during Mardi Gras for WDW for the last seven or eight years, and we've never had really heavy crowds at WDW, unless it falls during President's Week. You'll see a lot of people wearing purple, green and gold on February 5th (the date for Mardi Gras in 2008), but it won't be mega crowded.
Originally Posted By sun-n-fun We are going again in Feb 2008. As a teacher, I can only go on school vacations. IF (and that's a big IF) we even go to a park on Sat, Sun, or Mon we will be prepared to not ride much, just take it all in. We'll ride more later in the week when the crowd thins. Have a great time!!

We are going for 2 weeks January 27 - Feb 3 so fingers crossed
