Disney World in February Crowd Calendar

February is a great time to visit Walt Disney World when it comes to crowd levels. With the exception of President's Day, which is a very busy day at any theme park, the month of February is relatively quiet at Disney World with low crowd levels. Since this is a less busy time of year you will see shortened hours and entertainment along with larger ride refurbishments so that is something to be prepared for.

Disney's Hollywood Studio's has been a popular park since Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway opened and we expect to see this trend continue since this park also has Toy Story Land and Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Plan accordingly for busier days when you visit this park. You can see our Disney World crowd calendar for an idea of projected crowd levels during this month.

Disney World Weather in February

The weather at Disney World in February is fairly dry with warmer days and chilly nights making it a great time of the year to visit to avoid the heat. The average high for Orlando in February is 74 degrees with the average low being 52 degrees. Since the weather isn't as hot, this is a great time of year to visit for those that don't enjoy heat. February is also known for being one of the coldest months of the year in Orlando so make sure to bring some layers to handle those night time chills.

Chances of rain in February are some the lowest you see all year with only an average four days of rain in the month. For guests that love Disney World but are not a big fan of the rain, this makes February a great time to visit.

Tips for Visiting Disney World in February

When it comes to visiting Disney World in February, we have some tried and true hacks for having a magical time on your vacation.

What to Wear

One of the most frequently asked guest questions is: what should I wear to Disney World? Always check the weather leading up to your trip. The good news about visiting Disney World in February is that the chance of rainfall is greatly reduced making it less necessary to wear a rain poncho daily to the parks. We still recommend bringing one so you can enjoy the water rides without getting drenched. I recommend dressing in layers and come prepared for some chilly mornings. Once the sun goes down, the evenings will feel chilly (especially when you factor in humidity) so bring some lightweight hoodies or jackets. You can always rent a locker to store jackets in during the day and go back to grab them once the day cools down.

What to Pack

February is one of the coolest months in Orlando which is still pretty warm by some Midwestern folks' standards. The nights will get chilly as the temperature drops so bringing light layers that you can shed during the day and put back on at night is the best way to go. Because the weather can vary so much day by day, check the weather each day leading up to your trip. Come prepared based on what the forecast says. Still bring the sunscreen!

You can read our giant packing list here to make sure you show up prepared for literally anything you need while you're visiting Disney World.

What to Expect

There are a few things you should expect when choosing February as your month to visit Disney World:

Prepare for Refurbishments and Reduced Entertainment- since February is considered one the slowest months of the year it's a common time for Walt Disney World to do any needed ride and entertainment refurbishments. Along with that, you will also see shortened park hours and entertainment schedules in consideration of the lower crowd levels. These are all things to be prepared for when visiting this time of year that certain rides (including possibly your favorite!) may be closed. You can check Walt Disney World's entertainment schedule leading up to your visit to get an idea of what rides may be closed.
Genie+ Replaced FastPass- Genie+ is the new system that replaced FastPass at Walt Disney World! The service offers the same concept of skipping the longer standby line by reserving times in the app. Read everything about Genie+ in our guide.

But most of all, remember to enjoy your time at the most magical place on earth!
