Pros

Reasons to visit in February

  • Low crowd levels mean Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and TRON Lightcycle / Run post shorter waits than nearly any other month.
  • Cool 53-74F days make the exposed queues in Tomorrowland and Frontierland comfortable instead of miserable.
  • Happily Ever After and Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade are easy to watch without staking out a curb spot hours early.
  • Fantasyland's indoor attractions like Peter Pan's Flight and it's a small world run efficiently thanks to thinner crowds.
  • Evening temperatures stay mild enough to enjoy the Hub and Main Street, U.S.A. without a jacket for most of the night.

Cons

Things to watch out for

  • Presidents' Day weekend pushes Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and TRON Lightcycle / Run waits well past their usual February lows.
  • Mornings near 53F feel genuinely cold while waiting outdoors for rope drop at the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train queue.
  • Casey Jr. Splash 'N' Soak Station sits mostly ignored in February since the water play area is too chilly to use.
  • About five rain days this month can shut down Splash Mountain-era outdoor queues and delay the parade route without warning.
  • Liberty Square and Frontierland offer little shade, so a sunny February afternoon can still catch you off guard.

Pro tip

Ride TRON Lightcycle / Run and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train back to back right at rope drop, ideally by 9:05am, since February's low crowds mean both can run under 30 minutes early but climb fast once Presidents' Day weekend crowds arrive. Save Big Thunder Mountain Railroad for after 8pm when the desert air cools down and the line thins out before Happily Ever After clears the Hub.
