February Disney World Crowds

February crowds at Walt Disney World can vary depending on the week. Early in the month, you’ll find lighter crowds, making it a great time to visit. However, Presidents’ Day weekend and the runDisney Princess Half Marathon Weekend tend to bring along with them a surge in attendance, especially at EPCOT and Magic Kingdom. If you’re visiting during these busier times, consider starting your park days early, using Disney’s Lightning Lane services to skip long lines, and planning your must-do attractions in advance to ensure you don’t waste time and make the most of your trip.

Should You Purchase Lightning Lane Services?

Whether or not you should purchase one (or all) of Disney’s new Lightning Lane services in February largely depends on when you’re visiting and your priorities. During less crowded times, such as early February, you may find shorter standby wait times for most attractions, making Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass less necessary. However, if your goal is to experience as many rides as possible or you’re visiting during busier times like Presidents’ Day weekend or the runDisney Princess Half Marathon Weekend, purchasing these skip-the-line services can save you valuable time.

If you decide to use Lightning Lane services, focus on parks with high-demand attractions like Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, where Lightning Lanes can be especially beneficial. For Lightning Lane Single Passes, consider prioritizing rides with consistently long waits, such as Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, or Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Planning ahead and understanding how these services work will help you make the most of your Disney trip.

Disney World Weather in February

February weather at Walt Disney World is typically mild and comfortable, making it one of the best times of year to visit weather-wise. Daytime highs average around the mid-70s°F (24°C), while nighttime temperatures can dip into the 50s°F (10-15°C). While it’s not as rainy as the summer months, there’s still a chance of light showers, so being prepared is key.

When it comes to what to wear, layers are your best friend. Mornings and evenings can feel chilly, so bring a light jacket, sweatshirt, or cardigan that you can easily take off as the day warms up. Comfortable pants or jeans work well for cooler temperatures, while shorts and T-shirts are great for the afternoons. If you plan to stay out late or attend an evening event like Disney After Hours, make sure you have an extra layer to stay warm.

We also recommend packing a few other park-day essentials like a compact umbrella or a lightweight rain poncho in case of unexpected rain. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as you’ll be spending plenty of time on your feet. And, don’t forget sunscreen, as the Florida sun can still be strong even in winter!

Disney World Water Parks in February

If you’re planning to visit Disney World’s water parks in February, you’ll want to head to Disney’s Blizzard Beach, which is open throughout the month with general hours typically running from 10AM to 5PM. With its unique winter-themed atmosphere and family-friendly attractions, Blizzard Beach is a great option for adding a splash of fun to your vacation. However, keep in mind that February’s cooler temperatures might make the water parks a less popular choice compared to warmer months. Thankfully, Disney’s water parks are heated, so you can still enjoy the lazy rivers, slides, and wave pools comfortably on mild days.

Typhoon Lagoon remains closed for refurbishment during February 2025, so you won’t be able to experience its tropical paradise or iconic attractions like the Crush ‘n’ Gusher or Surf Pool this time of year.

If Blizzard Beach is part of your plans, be sure to check Disney’s official website or the My Disney Experience app for up-to-date information, as the park may close on particularly cold days or due to unexpected weather changes. And, don’t forget that Disney World Resort hotel guests get free entry to Blizzard Beach on your check-in day!
